About the Mainline

The Mainline is designed to deliver a refined and detailed sound, making it suitable for both high and low impedance headphones. It uses two 6C45pi tubes for signal handling and a 12AU7 tube for power control. The amplifier includes balanced and single-ended outputs, with a switch to select between these modes. It also features a stepped attenuator for precise volume control, offering coarse adjustments in 9dB steps and fine adjustments in 1.5dB steps. The Mainline is praised for its clean and detailed sound, particularly in the midrange, and is often paired with high-end headphones like the Sennheiser HD800.
