The Head 2 is a fully tube-based, Class-A push-pull headphone amplifier and preamp hand-built by Trafomatic Audio, a small Serbian valve-electronics workshop known for exhibiting at European hi-fi shows. It is characterized by small-batch, largely hand-assembled construction and narrow specialist-dealer distribution, with a sustained reputation among headphone enthusiasts documented across Head-Fi threads, Headphone Guru, and the hi-fi press.
