Great to meet you all.
I'm a head-fi obsessed enthusiast considering my first DIY project to build a headphone amplifier to power my favorite headphones these days - Modhouse Tungstens. These particular headphones are notoriously hard to drive being an oddity - low sensitivity, high impedance planars. Therefore, I first stumbled on this site attracted by the Elekit TU-8400 DIY kit capable of running KT170s, which has started to become a popular tube for driving this particular headphone.
I don't have much recent experience soldering so that's a concern but looks like Elekit's amplifiers are relatively newbie friendly.
Happy holidays everyone!
