Here's a new SET headphone amp you may not have heard about, the Stratus from Donald North Audio.

Amazing. How well it performs with the HE-500?
A 2A3 puts out 3 watts so it should be awesome! Beautiful too...
The Stratus outs out 1.8 W into the 50 ohm load and it sounded great with my lCD 2.2.
This looks great - Living in Hong Kong with the smaller apartments I've considered getting back to a headphone rig. I was bemoaning the fact that I'd like to try a 2a3 but they're usually so low powered and speakers of super HE tend to be huge that it would never work - but headphones - that's a different story.
I like the blue - but I wonder if you can get it in Ferrari Red, Hot Pink (Don't ask but I do live in "Hello Kitty" country, Racing Green etc?
I like the Blue but admit it - when I said Ferrari Red you were thinking - That would look damn sexy. Baby blue is relaxing I'll give it that.
... looks slightly deeper and darker in reality than it does in those DNA website photos - vibrant and lustrous yet understated, and not really what I'd call a "Baby Blue" color. I own the Sonett - one of the most gorgeous-looking headphone amps ever, IMO...

I've tried taking photographs but (as with the website photos) the photo colors never seems to look exactly as they do in real life. It looks like a glossy automotive type finish that Saab may have once used to paint their cars. "Sonett" was the name of a vintage Saab automobile. The luster is very hard to photograph.

"Sonett blue"...
Donald's signature color and it wont be changed as I was with him over the weekend and that his color. Thats why it is so cool. i just shipped his demo to Vancouver today and waiting for mine to be built. The blue is beautiful and wife friendly as well.
I cant wait to get mine. The demo unit is leaving me tomorrow to go to Vancouver. Mine will be ready in June. Thew waiting begins.
I think mine is also coming in June, but I tend to take these delivery dates with a grain of salt.

I am ordering the EML tubes except for the 5U4G and also will either order a pair of RCA dual plates or buy the Sylvania grey plates, they are reasonable, and I own the HD800, which Drheadphones liked them with best. I will start with those two sets and the stock Shuguang and be done with it for a bit. It can become very expensive.. The setup with tubes will be over 3500.00 when it all said and done,
