    I am selling of a recent acquisition from the following sale thread:

    https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/fs-folkvangr-sw51-matrix-x-sabre-pro.13879/

    The amp runs perfectly, and looks the same as it did when I received it. I am only selling due to finding more engagement and fun in a DIY Sangaku that I also recently picked up and am in the process of upgrading. The Sangaku is a much better match for my LCD headphones also. The SW-51+ is a fantastic amp, and I am sad to see it go, but it just is not going to get the use with the other amps around.

    Selling for 300$ net to me. The only difference from the original sale and my listing is that I purchased two new pairs of RFT-EF184 tubes. I have been using 1 pair for less than 100 hours, the other is still fresh in the packages.

    I am shipping from MA, Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks for looking.

    Does this amp work well with a 150 ohm headphone like the HD58x?

    Not the same amp, not the same headphones, but I wouldn't worry too much about impedance matching because I didn't at all mind the HP-3 (25 ohm impedance) out of the ZDT Jr.

    Based on frequency vs impedance here you're going to get more bass with a lower damping factor, but it should be grand regardless. I'd worry more about how specifically they match in terms of areas of strength and weakness.

    I had it paired with the Focal Elex which is 80 ohm and gave it a little more body from the low output. With a 150 ohm headphone I suspect it'll pair perfectly fine. :)

    I'd have bought this in a heartbeat if I didn't already own one. How has this not sold?
