Lucy F. ★★★★★

I've been swapping between high-impedance Sennheisers and sensitive IEMs all week, and the volume dial stays useful across the full 8–600 ohm range without any hiss on the sensitive ones. The handcrafted build feels solid too, like it'll outlast everything else on my desk.

Riley Y. ★★★★★

Running my planars and a pair of 8-ohm IEMs off the same amp, and it handles both without breaking a sweat. The tubes give vocals a warmth my solid state setup never had, and there's zero noise floor even with sensitive in-ears. Worth every penny.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

Swapping between my 600 Ohm Beyers and a pair of sensitive IEMs on the same amp usually means fiddling with gain, but this thing just handles both without breaking a sweat. The tubes give vocals a warmth my old solid state setup never had.
