EL34/KT88 valve headphone amplifier

• High-end and very versatile headphone amplifier.
• Dual operating mode (triode and ultralinear). Change the output and the audio signal instantly.
• It allows for differentiated tonal tuning by replacing the included EL34 valves with KT88s and operating in triode or ultralinear mode.
• Perfect impedance matching for the respective headphones.
• Manual wiring of the audio circuit.
• Voltage rectification using valves.
• Perfectly selected output transformers for unsurpassed balanced output quality with breathtaking spatiality, channel separation and dynamics.
• Purist power management: multi-stage separate voltage amplification from the power supply with independent voltage regulation ensures that ripple caused by current disturbances is kept to a minimum. This ensures a fluid musical reproduction without grain or harshness.
• High-precision audio potentiometer with 24-step adjustment via pairwise selected resistors.
• Line structure using silver-plated audio cables with excellent shielding to prevent interference.
