Vali 3 Beautiful Tube Hybrid Headphone Amp and Preamp

Description: What if we blew up the whole entry-level tube headphone amp idea by making a stunningly beautiful product that outperforms stuff that’s way more expensive? Well, there’s no “what if” about it. Meet Vali 3, the new standard in affordable tube gear. Class-Crushing Tech Go ahead and compare Vali 3 to the competition…and you’ll find there’s no comparison. With a full 100V on the plate, Vali 3 crushes other designs using only 12-48V. Tubes love voltage, and Vali 3 provides it. For output, Vali 3 uses a fully discrete, Class AB bipolar stage in our own Coherence current-feedback topology—no op-amps or chip amps like you’ll find in other products. The result is an amp that’s nothing like anything near its price. Insanely Good Looks At the same time, you’ll notice our new advanced form, custom-stamped chassis—made in California, by the way—that takes affordable design to new levels. Compare to other gear in off-the-shelf or open-frame chassis. Again, no comparison! A Complete Tube System Vali 3 is ready to tube your entire desktop—delivering plenty of power for hard-to-drive headphones, and a low noise floor for more sensitive cans. Plus, it covers all your needs with preamp outputs for your powered monitors or speaker power amp…and it stacks perfectly withour Modi DACs or Loki Mini equalizer to create a complete desktop system. One Tube to Roll Them We chose one tube, because, let’s face it: good tubes are getting harder to get. Vali 3 ships with a 6N3P tube standard. Stick with that for great stock sound, or find the perfect tube for your needs with tons of interesting options, including 5670, 2C51, ECC42 and CV4013. Got a big wallet? Heck, it will accept the legendary WE396A! Designed and Built in Texas By “designed and built in Texas," this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Vali 3—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Vali 3 utilizes a fully discrete, Class AB bipolar stage in the Coherence current-feedback topology, delivering a unique and exceptional audio experience. The advanced-form chassis provides improved ventilation, resulting in lower operating temperatures for optimal performance. Vali 3 boasts a tube plate voltage of 100V, enhancing linearity and gain for a more dynamic and detailed sound. Comes with a really nice, tested, sorted, NOS 6N3P tube, but can be rolled to many interesting options. Designed and built in TX, USA. 115VAC only. USA Plug. Suitable for use in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Will not work in 220 – 240V countries.
