The Valhalla 2 is a fully triode-based, non-inverting tube amplifier featuring a single voltage gain stage and White Cathode Follower output topology. Designed for high-impedance headphones (300-600Ω), it delivers up to 700mW at 300Ω with <0.04% THD. The DC-coupled input and dual power transformers ensure stable performance, while tube-rolling compatibility allows customization of sound characteristics.
