Description

Buy an amplifier from the company that also makes the best sounding speakers the world has ever heard-- Audio Nirvana . We sell only the highest quality 'neutral sounding' amplifiers. We don't sell 'boutique' amplifiers, designed with a particular sound. Most amplifier companies sell these, so they can sell you a different amplifier every few months. We only want to sell you one amplifier, which you will keep for life. We have not heard better sounding amplifiers, anywhere, at any price. Our tube amplifiers are the only ones ever designed with, and optimized for, high efficiency full range speakers and other high efficiency speakers. Audio Nirvana speakers require only 1/10 of a watt for normal listening. So our EL84 Ultralinear amplifiers have 100 times the average power needed. Audio Nirvana amplifiers are 'straight power amplifiers with a volume control'. There is NO preamplifier inside, just a passive line stage. A $10,000 preamplifier can't sound better than no preamplifier at all. No separate preamp is needed. Just connect any 'line level' source, like CD, DAC, Tuner, Tape directly to the A or B inputs. If you do want to use phono, you will need an 'outboard' phono stage or phono preamp. We can tell you where to get a great one for under $200. This is an incredible sounding vacuum tube stereo amplifier--professionally assembled and tested--for about the same price as many kit amplifiers. Full, deep, rich bass. Extended highs. Ultralinear circuit uses an extra set of windings in the output transformers. This gives the smoothness of SET amps with the power and dynamics of a push/pull design. And lower distortion than both. The Audio Nirvana EL84 uses the two most popular vacuum tubes of all time. The EL84 (6BQ5 or 7189) power tube. The 12AX7 small signal tube. 10 watts per channel--all you need with the highest quality high efficiency speakers. Hand wired. No integrated circuits. The transformers are hand wound in our own factory. The chassis is polished stainless steel. The front and back faceplates are brushed, machined, aluminum. 4 and 8 ohm gold plated metal speaker terminals . Two inputs with selector. Dual voltage: 115 volts or 230 volts. Parts are chosen for the best possible sound quality--not because we want to impress you with 'boutique' names. Each amplifier is beautifully hand assembled and tested. To maintain the superb sound, there are no adjustments to be made--ever. Self biasing, no AC or DC balance to adjust. And made with the fewest parts possible and best sounding tubes. Stereo amplifiers are MUCH better than monoblocs because the left and right channels are always in perfect balance. One year warranty on amplifier. 90 days on vacuum tubes.
