"I haven’t had the pleasure of a good tube amplifier in a long while but the Auris Audio Lyre is one of the finest headphone and pre-amplifiers I ever laid my ears upon. It has the distinct beautiful tube-lushness and analogue warmth that makes listening to my music an absolute pleasure. It pairs fantastically well with my Chord Electronics Hugo TT2, where a detail monster meets body and soul. I am sure this combo will give me endless hours of enjoyment and musical pleasure. On top of its superb audio qualities, the Auris Audio Lyre is built like a tank and beautifully designed. [...] To me, it is a no-brainer to put the Lyre on our Recommended Amplifier list!"
