I do not use headphones often at all, have a pair of Grado 325’s, which are very nice. As my new Belles Aria Signature preamp has no headphone amp, I also looked for an inexpensive headphone amp. Was strongly considering Schiit, but really wanted a tube. Yes, Schiit has one. Then a used Bellari Audio HA540 became available, and I jumped on it. The stock tube is crap, but after tube rolling some 12ax7’s I had, realized I could improve upon it a lot. Found a RAM EI smooth plate, essentially close to a Telefunken, as they were produced on Tele machinery. A good deal for a ‘Tele’ smooth plate, and gave the Bellari a very nice upgrade in SQ. I’m pretty pleased for my investment, under $200 with the RAM EI tube.
