Budget Hybrid Tube Amps Compared - OG Vali 2 vs MT602

In this video I compare a couple of cheaper hybrid tube amps. I’ve got the OG Schiit Vali 2 and the Xduoo Mt602. I figure people will be looking at these options as a first foray into tubes. I think overall, the Vali is probably more for me, just because of the tube rolling possibilities, but the MT602 does have some good features and might have the sound you’re looking for depending on your source gear and your headphones.
