Yes, it was an expensive ordeal. But well worth it. Probably the best headphone amp I have ever heard.Hahaha! Oh lovely.

I've tried it, but you need a hotter signal than my DAC would provide to get the most from it, so I don't really have a conclusion.Has anyone tried viva’s direct input as power amplifier?
845’s are the bulk of the cost, your looking at probably $1800 for a pair of Elrogs, that really are worth the investment.It's not just the amplifier but you have to put in erious cash to put the proper tubes in there

I probably have <$400 in the rest of my tubes.
Still cheaper to fill out with tubes than my DAC.
It’s a point to point wired mess.Any internal photos of this amp ?
It’s a point to point wired mess.
there‘s at least one image floating around.
point to point is hard to do tidy, the VIva’s 3 stages and internal layout don’t make it any tidier.
A nightmare to service
Looks like a Matchless guitar amp. Generally PTP discrete is easier to service than surface mount/PCB.
