The Chubby Jinx comes through the development of our Jinx Headphone amp. Sharing many of the same sonic benefits but tailored strictly for 2ch stereo listening. The Chubby Jinx is our effort to answer the desires internal to ampsandosund, brining 6V6 tubes back to the forefront and allow access to nearly unlimited NOS variants.
