Nice but not for expensive headphones!
For the price, this little amp is fantastic as long as you stay in the headphone price range of up to $400-$500. The sound is somewhat full and the gain is crazy but the sound is lacking finesse and I tried out three sets of headphones with the amp. The Sennheiser HD 800, AKG Q701 and Beyer T1. They all sounded "good" but none sounded "magical". The Q701's sounded best through this amp but still lacked authority and when the volume was raised the amp distorted the headphones (they did not distort with a higher end amp). I tried 6 different 12AX7's including the Mullard, a NOS RCA and Tung Sol gold pin. The gold pin sounded the most "airy" and pleasant and the NOS sounded hard and bright. Ive been in high end audio for 16 years and this amp is great for the price but still has a little harshness, especially when pushed. Bass is good but doesn't seem to go too deep. If you have high end phones, I'd go with a higher end amp. Mid priced phones would be good for this amp though and yes it can drive just about anything, it doesn't do so with an effortless sound. I had to return mine as it just did not jive with the headphones I auditioned with it. I have a Dac Magic feeding into the amp from my iMac via optical. Being powered by a 12AX7 tells you that this amp is not meant for those searching for liquid lush tube sound as the 12AX7 is a super high gain tube. I do ont hate this amp as it's probably the best in the price range but just wanted to point out that it doesn't work well with the higher priced headphones. Wish it did! UPDATE - I decided to do a comparison between the low input and high from my computer. I was using the "LOW" and this is what was causing the distortion possibly. Using the high input with the HD800's the sound is much better but I have to turn it up 3/4 to get decent volume. Still, for $299 this is a great buy for most headphones and after switching inputs I could live with this, even with the $1500 HD800's.

Great expectations -- but no payout :(
I've been using the straight-out headphone input of a NAD 312 25/wpc integrated amp for over five years now with Sennheiser HD600s and AKG 701s and enjoying primarily classical and some jazz through the night (much to the annoyance of my wife, but that's another story:) But when I got Beyerdynamic DT880 600-ohm 'phones, during the 'no-listen' 100-hr. burn-in period (repeated white, pink noise 'audiophile burn-in' CD), I assumed I'd definitely need a dedicated headphone amp, given their power requirements and need for a good amount of voltage and. So after much research, and not wanting to pay more than $500 for a headphone amp, I gave myself a Christmas gift and bought the Bellari based on glowing Amazon reviews. Upon receiving the Bellari, I swapped out its stock factory tube for a Tungsol 12AX7 gold...also based on said reviews...and cooked the unit for about 48 hours before listening to any of the above headphones. My primary music source is a Marantz SA-11S3 SACD/CD player with a variety of well-recorded CDs & SACDs. Knowing all about the Beyers' reputation for a sizzling high-end and how tubes tend to mitigate it, I did about eight to ten hours of listening to them driven by the Bellari -- anxiously expecting sonic nirvana! Ok, the best way I can characterize the sound was 'warm-ish' (i.e.: slightly thick), the high-end 'sizzle' was virtually non-existent. No fatigue; just nice, polite all-around sound. Nothing really wrong...but nothing really exciting or realistic either. Following this, I did the same with the Senn HD600s, headphones I've owned and loved for years. Which is when I discovered there really *was* something missing: like airiness, soundstage, an utter clarity in all regions -- i.e. a sense of realism I've come to expect from them. Maybe I'm missing something here. So I switched back to the NAD amp and the differences were immediate! The somewhat murky, thick sound of the Bellari was gone and all the transparent, instrument-placement sonics I've come to expect from the HD600s were restored! And when I switched back again to the Beyerdynamics on the NAD, their soundstage, transparency was excellent...still no match overall for the Senns...but very enjoyable. And yes, I had the Marantz plugged into the 'high' input of the Bellari -- :) As a result of even more back & forth A/B listening, I became sadly convinced that this amp wasn't the answer to better audio with my headphone setup. I still can't believe how it lacked the "magic", up & down the spectrum tonality and sheer transparent right-ness of what I've been getting with a 10-year-old ss amp!! Yes, of course, this is all subjective, and...as they say...YMMV. But to get the results I'm looking for, I'll probably need to spend upwards of $1200-$2000 on a headphone amp. The Bellari is a nicely-built unit, elegant in its simplicity; I really really wanted to fall in love all over again with my 'phones. If ever there was a positive predisposition going in, this was it! Unfortunately I returned them today. I suspect that maybe -- just maybe -- the good folks on Amazon who rated the Belarri so highly may previously have been listening to headphones driven by iPods or other portable devices. Either that, or I was expecting way too much for $300.

You know it's good when the character-amp fans hate it
First, I have to ask this question: What other headphone amp out there can top this amp for $189 or less? I have the solid-state little brother (HA543) of this amp as well. I was hoping that this amp would have the same qualities, but with lower noise. Well it does overall, and seems to have more power to drive my cans. Like the HA543, its character is flat-as-pancake--linear yet without sounding restrained, unlike the Liquid Spark. (And this is not a slam on Monolith LS, which is an engineering marvel for its price.) No doubt that's why fans who like character amps (amps of non-linear flavor) don't like this one. I like character amps as well....er, well, sometimes. I listen to headphones for hours at a time, and character amps become irritating, and eventually fatiguing. (Especially bass emphasis, a.k.a. the Fart Factor, second by the annoying "modern-sounding" notched mids.) I'm glad that the Bellari HA540 isn't a "tubey"-sounding character amp. I'm reading some of the other reviews, and unfortunately have to disagree some of the criticisms. While this amp lacks obvious non-linearities, it doesn't take from the program material. It produces amazing detail--so much so I can pick out certain techniques that the recording engineers used. Talk about realism. Could it be better? Sure, but this is a consumer market item that's mass produced. And here's my summary: The good: Good detail (and it hasn't even been broken in yet!); simple controls; efficient; built tough; good linearity without sapping the life out the material with overwrought global NFB; The bad: Packaging could be better; strange placement of the outputs (rear); lacking differential inputs like the HA543 (scratching my head on this one); 90-degree PSU connector (why? it'll just break the connector on the PCB); initially the price was higher, but came down a little The ugly: Nothing!
