What tubes will this ship with?
A shopper
on Apr 28, 2018
BEST ANSWER: As I am guessing based on the CTH that I purchased it will be a low end EH 6922 tube or a similar current production tube I would suggest adding 150.00 - 200 on this amp if you really want good sound

This amp looks as if it might benefit from the use of an optional Linear Power Supply unit, that is more powerful and enhanced than the stock SMPS. Will Monoprice consider making suitable one available for purchase based on the Specs of the Liquid Platinum (36v, 1.5a)?

Great amp!
This amp sounds fantastic so far!
The bass is great...even with HD-800!!
Very powerful with a fantastic mids and good highs.
The EMU teaks rock on this amp!
This thing sounds way more refined than my liquid carbon...especially on the low end.
I have a feeling that with an added linear power supply that this will sound close to the old crimson.
That would be end game for me.

Excellent Amp
Has exceeded my expectations, although I shouldn't be surprised, since it is a Cavalli amp. It has certainly lived up to the hype.

Worth the wait...
First impressions - excellent build quality. Worth waiting for despite the delays to official release. Subjectively, the liquid platinum is very musical yet detailed, a smooth and airy sound that is enjoyable for hours. It drives both high impedence headphones and power hungry planars easily. Bravo to Dr Cavali & Monoprice for delivering this headamp to us enthusiasts, 5 stars!

Audio Heaven
Liquid Platinum has extended highs and dynamic lows that bring out the best in all TOTL headphones, like the MrSpeakers Ether2.

Use NOS Tubes & Balanced Out
It’s an amazing value proposition, especially through the balanced out and with a little tube rolling. Yes, get some NOS tubes and you are all set for some bliss. This will probably be the end game amp for many on a budget. The looks aren’t great, but it’s small enough to hide away (remember to ventilate!) and use slightly longer headphone cables.
