Looking for a TOTL diy tube head amp with very nice parts that is warm and rich sounding. I guess something of the caliber of DNA Stratus / stellaris. Are there any schematics and plans for something like this? I do have a modded crack which I like but I want to go beyond.
I guess L0rdgwyn's Aegis guide is the closest but was thinking of something even beyond that. From the comparisons I read his amp didn't really get past even a V3 stratus.
This would be for dynamic driver cans.. 32 ohm and 300 ohm.
No specific budget but if you absolutely insist on a budget then under $10k (ideally under $5k)
Thanks!

I had SE 300b amp for decades as headphone amp, last 10 years I use a SS headamp with the same mid/high soundsignature as the 300b but better bass control. Fun to build and only €75,-.
Audio Note kits have some very substantial designs, and the parts quality is second to none. Assembly manuals are the best that I have seen.
Unless you design and build your own headphone amp to suit your specific needs you won’t find a finer amp to build than the Aegis. The fact you judge it by version number is ridiculous when you should be listening to it. Having lived with it for 6 months I cannot find anything to complain about.

What other tube amps have you heard ?
Good question, only ones I have built on a long term. The others were at shows with so much background noise and could not seriously judge.
