That is beautiful Tari, is this one yours?

That old Moth gear has such a killer style, I can't picture it sitting anywhere other than a lounge in a Gothic European castle.

While packing away one of my 2A3's I was bowled over by Moth's meticulousness and detail in every facet of design and packaging, it simply blows away everything before or since in the headphone world (and I've had it all.)


Firstly, there's the amp itself:





This beast is heavy, I once lifted it immediately before lifting the BHSE and almost fell as the BHSE was maybe a quarter the weight.  It is absolutely stately and so perfectly retro without trying too hard.


Then there's the portholes.  No glowy at the moment but this just beckons to me (ECC35):





By now you may be thinking this thing is just a beast.  Well, it is... but here's a shot of it next to its box wooden case:







What else is in the box?  Well, there is:


Foam and a mysterious stamped envelope:





That contains the best booklet I've ever seen (had a standalone price of $17.50 in case you lost yours at the time.)





There was a warranty card and a whole booklet printed on primo paper:







Then you get to the effin' custom stamped wax seal (I opened it)





What's inside this totally over the top documentation?


A user key for schematics, tube types, transistors...





And actual schematics:








Anyways, the whole thing is absolutely unbelievable compared to anything these days, and I am including all gear by EC, Cavalli, Headamp, the Apex Pinnacle, and a whole lot else on that list.  Just a beauty.  Glad I'm still keeping one.

Really sweet pics. Thanks for sharing. Wise for keeping.

My God, now that is showmanship!

Man, I can only imagine its sound must be just as beautiful as it looks...
