Foreign amps

I have a pair of Jolida Music Envoys. 211s in push pull. Effortless. I also have a Crown PSA2 which I use most of the time. The Jolidas only come out to play when I'm having a serious session. There's a Urei 6290 in the back room which sounds great but as has already been mentioned they suffer from noisy transformers and I mean noisy.

Schiit headphone amp which is great.

Had a huge Mark Levinson on permanent loan for several years, long time ago.
Sound was too cold and clinical for me, my NVA A40 was more enjoyable.

My amplification is from the Netherlands. Does that count?

Interesting to see someone mention Nelson Pass earlier; I have had a look at his First Watt range, which seems less commercial than the stuff he designs for Pass Labs.

From what I understand, with the first watt stuff he designs a circuit, does a limited production run (builds them himself) then hands the design over the the DIY community once that run has been sold. The pass labs stuff is the the more commercial part. I assume he also builds the first watt stuff to order once he has handed the circuit over to the DIY community so you can still have a firstwatt amp once that initial production run is done

I have a Heed Obelisk si hiding in the cupboard. Nice little amp but has no change compared to NVA.
