Hey there, r/headphones, got a bit of an inquiry for you.

So, I recently got a Fosi Audio P2 Headphone amp from Amazon on Black Friday, but I've been having issues with the right socket on this amp; first the red LED in the base of the socket stopped working, and now the tube that was plugged in there seems to have burned out prematurely ( it's glowing much brighter while the unit is on ), while the tube in the other socket is still fine. I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with this company, and specifically I want to find out if I was just unlucky enough to get a lemon or if this is an experience others have had with products from this company.

I've reached out to Fosi to invoke the 24-month warranty, but I'm thinking of picking up something else as a backup just in case that falls through somehow, so if anyone has recommendations for a headphone tube amp less than $70, let me know. This is also my first tube amp, so if anyone has any recommendations for care, maintenance, and general treatment of these things, that'd be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance for your input, and let me know if you have any further questions!
