    Anyone using these headphones amplifiers? I know this is a very small french company, but maybe someone is using their amplifiers in this community. I am, for one :D

    Technically I think they are very interesting, single triode preamp/driver (6j5 typically), LC coupled (Hammond choke + AN cap) to a single triode power tubes (300B, 2A3 or 45). OPT are interesting, double C UHib amorphous core with copper-silver wiring. Multitap for different cans. B+ also interesting, for preamp/driver tube it is regulated with 6B4G+2x 0A3.
    ....and, of course, IMHO very well sounding :D

    I'm using the 300B, and have already ordered the 2A3. IMHO really great value for money.

    Another EU person here. How have you found these amplifiers?
    How do they compare to other popular stuff?

    @phaeton Good find, so rare in the EU, I hope they sound good. Now that you’ve started a thread you’re on the hook to provide some impressions o_O

    Can you please change the thread title to something more descriptive like: Halgorythme SET OPT Amplifiers from Le France


    I was already collating the google translated specs, prices, and internal shots from various locations. So I thought I may as well put them all in one place for everyone. It took far too damned long to do from my mobile:


    Options:
    €450 - Emission Labs 45 power tubes (for SE 45 block)
    €450 - Emission Labs 300B Mesh Plate Power Tubes (for SE 300B)
    €80 - HP outputs 4 or 8 ohms


    €1990
    Stereo block SE 45 2 x 2.5W:
    [​IMG]

    €2400
    Stereo block SE 2A3 2 x 4W or 6W(?):
    [​IMG]

    €2600
    Stereo block SE 300B 2 x 6W:
    [​IMG]

    €3600
    Block Stéreo SE R120 2 x 4W:

    Anyone tried ordering one to North America?

    Do they even ship outside the EU?
