I don't know what your budget is but there is a fellow on E-bay that is selling the Creek OBH-11 (new in box) for $89.00 plus $10.00 shipping. If you hit the "Make an Offer" button and offer $70.00 he will accept, so $80.00 total shipped. The seller had approx. 90 of these units and is down to 4 pieces left. I bought one just to have something for my headphones, I replaced the input caps with Auricaps and the 220uf output caps with Rubycon ZL caps. Yes you can do a lot better but it gives you an amp for under $100.00. According to the seller there is no warranty, the seller bought them from a transcription company that cancelled a project. Not affiliated in any way just thought I would pass along this info for a budget amp.
