    Strength:

    Smooth. Works well with lower impedance cans. Style...(good or bad?)

    Weakness:

    Lack of control over high impedance cans. Style...(good or bad?)

    I did some listening with this amp at my brothers place (he owns it). Seemed to be much better matched to my Grado SR-80 (32 ohms) than my brothers Sennheiser HD-600 (300 ohms). I did like the smooth sound of the tubes, but honestly the amp seemed to be missing the punch of a decent receiver headphone out. Gonna have to give it more listening in the future.

    Nothing, soon to compare with CI Audio VHP-1.
