Hi Chris,

Did you build it yourself get one ready built, quite fancy getting one as I'm another valve convert, I tend to run my DAP player through mini valve amps to drive the headphones etc. Do the tubes run hot? They can be a bit pricey ready built but was wandering if safe to use when powerd on 24/7?
Cheers,

Tim.

I built it from scratch Tim.
Got the tubes from ebay from a guy in Belarussia about 10 years ago as a plan to use them for something one day.
Good luck with finding a set of 6 NOS tubes for 100 quid these days!
Got the board kit from ebay too and theyre ten-a-penny. they come in kit form or ready made. if you're handy with a soldering iron you'll def enjoy the satisfaction of putting it together yourself!

I also have a few tube headphone amps. The Littledot mk3 with Mullard tubes sounds insane. Insane in the membrane

Thanks for the info Chris I've been looking at the kits, ready built you're looking from 200 quid for a decentish one, just need to weigh up if I get the kit I will actually build it but sounds like a relaxing thing to do.

I've just bought a Nobsound amp, with 2 valves for 28 quid, bargain

yer. thought those little nobsound amps looked cute, good value but sadly not a total analogue/tube path. there's IC's at the amp stage sadly.
how does it sound? what tubes have you rolled?
this has turned into a tube amp thread now. lol sorry op :?

Sounds pretty good depending on what you have pushing through it, can't grumble for the price,

I've had a Ross Amplifier for years hooked up to a pair of Mordaunt and short speakers and been pleased with it.
