What if we blew up the whole entry-level tube headphone amp idea by making a stunningly beautiful product that outperforms stuff that’s way more expensive? Well, there’s no “what if” about it. Meet Vali 3, the new standard in affordable tube gear.

Class-Crushing Tech

Go ahead and compare Vali 3 to the competition…and you’ll find there’s no comparison. With a full 100V on the plate, Vali 3 crushes other designs using only 12-48V. Tubes love voltage, and Vali 3 provides it. For output, Vali 3 uses a fully discrete, Class AB bipolar stage in our own Coherence™ current-feedback topology—no op-amps or chip amps like you’ll find in other products. The result is an amp that’s nothing like anything near its price.

Insanely Good Looks

At the same time, you’ll notice our new advanced form, custom-stamped chassis—made in California, by the way—that takes affordable design to new levels. Compare to other gear in off-the-shelf or open-frame chassis. Again, no comparison!

A Complete Tube System

Vali 3 is ready to tube your entire desktop—delivering plenty of power for hard-to-drive headphones, and a low noise floor for more sensitive cans. Plus, it covers all your needs with preamp outputs for your powered monitors or speaker power amp…and it stacks perfectly with our Modi DACs or Loki Mini equalizer to create a complete desktop system.

One Tube to Roll Them

We chose one tube, because, let’s face it: good tubes are getting harder to get. Vali 3 ships with a 6N3P tube standard. Stick with that for great stock sound, or find the perfect tube for your needs with tons of interesting options, including 5670, 2C51, ECC42 and CV4013. Got a big wallet? Heck, it will accept the legendary WE396A!

Designed and Built in Texas

By “designed and built in Texas," this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Vali 3—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made in California. Our PCBs are done in Utah. And it all comes together in our Corpus Christi, Texas, facility. Yes, the wall-warts are made in China, but there's some give and take at this price point.

High Power: Delivers great sound with 100V on the tube, outperforming similar amps.
Sleek Design: Features a custom, high-quality chassis for a stylish look.
Versatile Use: Works with all types of headphones and has outputs for speakers, making it a great all-in-one desktop solution.
Tube Rolling: Comes with one tube, but you can swap in different ones to customize your sound.
