If the prize is an Auralic Taurus or Bryston BHA I'll give this a shot. (Sorry, could'nt help myself. I have the Senn HD800 & a Burson Soloist... It works, but the HD800 are a better match w/ either a balanced HPA or a
"real" tubed HPA.(not the "inexpensive" tube HPAs. The Soloist chews those up for snacks)

They don't even mention there what the prize is. Maybe there isn't one, like some "contests" that have taken place here.

Matter of taste. I've enjoyed single ended amps with sennhs, and disliked a few tube designs as well. In this case, you can take the money  :thumb:

If you follow the link, there's a $300 prize or $500 store credit which is not bad in my opinion  :)
