Portable amplification is a useful way of getting a really great sound out of household devices, and this vacuum tube headphone amp delivers vintage audio warmth with a built-in rechargeable battery – with no need for external power or a power pack. Plug in you iPod, handheld games console or (dare I say it) cassette player for hi-fidelity amplification which looks great and has true 1950s retro sizzle.
This superb amplifier came from a customer request and sounded so good, it had to be released and available to the world. There are 3.5mm sockets for input and output, with an on-board USB socket to charge the LiPo battery, which can also be done with by AC/DC adapter. The circuitry uses 3.7 volts boosted to 30V required to run the twin triode vaccum tube (or valve) and make any audio input sound gorgeous – with fully stereo sound running through a single tube.
Step away from the digital audio converters for a moment and appreciate the style and sound of vintage electronics – and enjoy re-living your music through it, on the move. This audio box comes fully assembled and tested and ships from Japan by microwavemont see the video below for a quick taster.
