The Mk3Se retails for less than $500 US, has nearly 2 Watts of output power (into a 150Ω load), and offers 4 gain settings to make it easier to match with all kinds of headphones. Fully balanced tube amps are not usually a budget item as it takes more circuitry and thus expense to do it well. The MK3SE is the 3rd generation Mk3 and the first to be fully balanced from start to finish. Knowing my love of tube amps and tube rolling, I was approached by Little Dot USA to review the new Mk3SE hybrid tube amp and do a bit of tube rolling with it as well. I believe most amps show a preference for some tubes over others, and that those differences make tube rolling a worth while exercise in most cases. By now, many of my readers will already know I’m a fan of tube amps and tube rolling to find the best fit for them.
