Vacuum Tube Amplifier

Vacuum Tube Amplifier

This amplifier kit has four battery-powered vacuum tubes (battery tubes) and two independently-developed output transformers so you can get the most fun enjoying the fascination of vacuum tubes. It comes with original stereo speakers and audio cables so you can hook it up to an external audio device like an iPod and enjoy the uniquely mellow sound as soon as you finish assembling the amplifier.

Features
  • Uses battery tubes that make experimenting and modifications easy. The directly heated tubes start working as soon as you turn the power on. The tubes use pentode connections for higher volume.

  • We developed our own irregular EE core transformer with a core material carefully selected to get the most amplification performance from the vacuum tubes.

  • The efficient speaker system exploits the power of vacuum tubes to the maximum. Our full-range speaker with 40-diameter mylar cone and neodymium class magnet has an old-school multicellular horn.
