Product Description

Vali 2+ is the most affordable and versatile tube hybrid amp on the planet. Enjoy lovely tube sound without tons of noise.
Vali 2+ delivers plenty of power for hard-to-drive headphones—and also provides the low noise you need for sensitive cans.
You only need a single tube, so tube rolling Vali 2+ is easy and more affordable.
All your needs are covered with preamp outputs for your powered monitors or speaker power amp.
Product is supplied with a 110–120V US power supply suitable for use in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This power supply will not work in 220–240V countries. Vali 2+ is built in Texas, USA.

Vali 2 is the most affordable serious tube hybrid amp on the planet--with performance and versatility that eclipses amps costing much, much more. The all-new Vali 2 is a great way to get started with tube sound, without needing a second mortgage!
The Most Serious Tube Design-Far Beyond its Price
Some inexpensive (and not-so-inexpensive) tube amps don't use tubes to their full potential, "starving" them with low plate voltages or using op-amp buffers for output. Not Vali 2. Vali 2 uses a unique, class-leading power supply that gives it 60V on the plate. Combined with a fully discrete, current-mode non-inverting hybrid topology (Coherence Lite, maybe?), Vali 2 redefines what you can expect from an affordable tube amp, even at 2x its price.
Roll Your Own Sound
Vali 2 is supplied with a single NOS 6BZ7 tube. Feel free to use virtually any ECC88, 6922, 6DJ8, 2492, etc. to "roll" the sound to your own preference. Plus, you only need a single tube, so rolling is easy and more affordable!
Serious Power, Gain Switching, Preamp Outputs
Vali 2 delivers 1W into 32 ohms for hard-to-drive headphones--and, at the same time, offers a low gain mode for low-noise performance with sensitive headphones. You can also use the preamp outputs to add a tube preamp to your power amp or powered monitors.
Designed and Assembled in USA
The vast majority of the total production cost of Vali 2-chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc-goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made minutes from our facility. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us, or done in NorCal. Yes, the wall-warts are made in China, but there's some give and take at this price point.
2-Year Warranty
Vali 2 is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for 2 years, and 90 days on the tubes. That's 2x the coverage of most amps in this price range.
