The Millett Hybrid MiniMAXed, or Millett MiniMAX, or MiniMAX for short, is a vacuum tube and discrete solid state hybrid headphone amplifier. It is the latest refinement in a series of headphone amplifiers that began with Pete Millett, its namesake. The Millett MiniMAX was designed by Colin Toole (cetoole) to incorporate many new features and advances previously unavailable, while still adhering to the famous Millett heritage. Two new outstanding features distinguish the MiniMAX from its predecessors:

1) A superior low-noise power supply. The standard configuration has been optimized for 0.045mVAC in the power supply, measured at V+ and Gnd, with the tubes burning and the buffers biased at 50ma each. This is outstandingly low noise performance for a linear regulated power supply. Moreover, this is all imbedded in the PCB design - only requiring a 24VAC walwart for complete power.
2) A custom-machined case design from Lansing Enclosures. Based on their "DT1" case design, the MiniMAX is optimized for the smallest volume, width, and length practically possible with through-hole components and full-size extruded heat sinks. With the custom-machined case, commercial-grade finish quality is possible for every MiniMAX builder. Optionally, DIY-versions of the Lansing DT1 and CT1 case are easily constructed.

For most people, the Millett MiniMAX will start with the printed circuit board (PCB). After populating the board with specific electronic parts and powering with a rudimentary wall power adapter, the MiniMAX will provide excellent audiophile quality amplification for headphone listening enjoyment.
