It arrived today just in time for the holidays! I'm enjoying the Homage after a few hours but if I had to choose between the two amps I'd give the edge to the V222. The engineering, power, and depth/fullness to the sound on the Violectric, especially with the Caldera's planar drivers, are excellent. The Homage is close in performance and both of these amps have nice features with adjustable gain switching, XLR inputs, and good volume pots. Although the Homage volume dial is kind of stiff as others have noticed. I paired it with the Geshelli Labs J2 DAC, and tried it with Caldera, Verite Closed and Atrium Open.
My sound impressions are similar to what
@joshua1122 mentioned earlier in this thread. There is a nice spaciousness with the Homage and the AO's sound lovely on it, very airy and expansive. The VC's sounded even a little more open than I noticed on other combos for a closed HP. The Homage output does seem brighter/lighter and the bass is a bit leaner. The impedance switch on the Homage did not have a noticeable change to me with the dynamic Atrium or VC's (hi or low) but it did make a difference on the Caldera as it sounded better as expected when switched to the lower setting. The V222 and Homage both perform nicely as solid state amps with useful features to accommodate a variety of HP's. However, in my sound impressions, the V222 has the fullness and smoothness that is more to my liking.
Can't go wrong with either. Vintage style points will go to the Homage and it's classic VU meter is a nice touch. The V222 is built like a tank, very solid, and it does have a 6.25mm whereas the Homage only has XLR and the 4.4mm jacks.
