The Feliks Audio Elise is a tube headphone amplifier from the Polish company Feliks Audio, built on a substantial chassis and rated for a wide bandwidth. It is the heaviest of three related models in the Feliks Audio headphone amplifier range.

Key specs that matter

Maximum output is 200mW per channel into 600 ohms. Rated bandwidth is an unusually wide 10Hz to 60kHz, and distortion is 0.4% at 1V RMS into 300 ohms. The Elise measures 306 x 203 x 190mm and weighs 6.0kg.

Engineering and use context

Like other valve amplifiers, the Elise needs tube replacement and periodic biasing over its working life, which adds to its running costs.

Pairing

The output into 600 ohms suits high-impedance headphones, with planar-magnetic and dynamic types both on the list.

Alternatives

The Feliks Audio Euforia Evo sits alongside the Elise in the range and differs in its tube complement.
