Stereo Hybrid 50-watt Tube Amp with Bluetooth and Preamp Out

Enjoy the sound, style, and convenience of a hybrid tube amp with Bluetooth®. This hybrid tube amp combines the warm, soothing sound of a tube preamp with the efficiency, power, and clarity of a 50 watts per channel solid state power amplifier. Stream your digital music to the amp using the built-in Bluetooth 4.0 radio with the superior sound of the Qualcomm® aptX™ audio codec. Enhance your sound by connecting a subwoofer to the RCA preamp outputs. Not only does this amp sound great, it looks great, too! The black panels, lighted VU meter, chrome accents, and the warm glow of the exposed tubes present a minimalist retro look, which will enhance any home or office environment with a hint of old school styling.

Sound Quality: Life is too short for audio products that don’t sound great! We believe that the whole point of listening to music is to hear it as the artist intended. Our engineers and audio experts have spent countless hours listening to and comparing various amplifiers until we were satisfied we had found models that fit our demanding standards.

Style: The polished piano black case, brushed aluminum face, lighted VU meter, and the warm glow of the exposed tubes combine to give this amp a sexy appearance that is at once both classic and futuristic.

Versatile: Enjoy your music the way you want! Use the stereo RCA jacks to connect directly to a CD player or use the Bluetooth® v4.0 radio to connect wirelessly with your phone. Add a subwoofer by connecting to the RCA preamp outputs for even more room shaking sound. The Qualcomm® aptX™ audio codec ensures that your wireless streaming sounds as clean and clear as your wired connections.

Because of its lossy nature, digital music can often lose some of the depth and warmth that gives it life. Wireless streaming adds an additional layer of digital compression, which can further degrade the audio quality. The addition of the tube preamplifier stage adds back some of the warmth and richness, breathing new life into your digital music, while the Qualcomm® aptX™ audio codec ensures clean and clear Bluetooth® streaming.
