Help - What did I just buy?! (used tube DIY amp) | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Hi,

I got the chance to buy a used tube headphone amplifier. I tested it and it sounded good and the price seemed great.... but what is it?

Does anyone have any ideas? The small tubes say Ultron EC92 and the large one I think is a "6as7g"

Thanks in advance!
Regards Rune

Seems like a chinese amp.

It's supposed to be a DIY amp - not a chinese amp, but I couldn't be sure. I bought it used in Denmark (not ebay but similar).

Looks DIY to me...

Tagboards, NOS tubes.

Those Ultron tubes aren't too shabby, either

Would you say its a good deal for 150$ ? It sounds nice, but I don't have anything to directly compare it to.

Similar to WA3, darkvoice, or Crack. Looks well built. Nice steal.

I hope you are not just saying that to make me happy, but thanks anyway
