FS: Massdrop x Cavalli Tube Hybrid + Miflex cap mod + LPS (230V)

Selling my modded Massdrop x Cavalli Tube Hybrid headphone amp including LPS. I rolled the interstage capacitors to nothing less than Miflex KPCUs (paper and polypropylene with solid copper foil). Paired with the Genalex Gold Lion E88CC/6922 that has replaced the stock tube, this may be the best-sounding MCTH you can find.

The linear power supply has got an R-core transformer that’s rated for 230V. The stock wall wart that’s included works both on 115V and 230V. European users, note that the wall wart has a US plug, though I have no idea why you would want to use it instead of the LPS

Besides the original wall wart, the amp also comes with the original box and sleeve. The tube is pretty new and has a couple of dozens of hours on it - burned-in, if you like.

Is everything A+ ? No - I’m the second owner, and the front panel has a small dent on the top where the black coating chipped off. It’s small - but check it out on the photos just in case. Also, like many MCTHs, there is a slight channel imbalance. At lower volumes, the right channel is slightly louder than the left. And as with them other MCTHs, this goes away as the volume dial reaches around 9 o’clock and above.

I’ll be honest: biggest part of the price is the LPS and Miflex KPCUs. A stock MCTH may trade for like €75, but you have to account for another €100 plus €160 for getting new Miflex KPCUs and an LPS shipped. I’m selling the MCTH and the LPS as a set only, so you're getting 30% off on those extras.

Asking price is €249. If you’re interested, reach out to figure out the shipping costs. I’ll ship to anywhere and PayPal G&S fee is on me.



P.S. like all MCTHs, the output phase is inverted. If you don't like that, for €20 extra I'll throw in custom-made XLR-to-RCA interconnects that wire the RCA signal to the XLR negative polarity. And voila: minus minus is plus and you have normal phase again.
