Description

This newly released Sophia Electric Aqua II 274B delivers even bigger soundstage than the original, which has been the best rectifier available in the market. Price is for one tube with 30 days warranty. 2023 Positive Feedback Writers’ Choice Award : " The new Aqua II 274B is impressive: a beautifully natural tonal balance, a huge sense of recorded acoustic, gorgeous tone color, a vivid sense of imaging presence, excellent dynamics, and increased clarity and resolution of nuance " -- Jeff Day Jeff Day's Positive-Feedback Online Review: "I've listened to a ton of CDs and LPs with the new Aqua II 274B rectifier in the Triode Lab 45 EVO, and it has all of the natural sounding tonal properties, vibrant musicality, excellent dynamics, and spectacular sound-staging abilities that make the original Aqua 274B so desirable, and yet the Aqua II 274B manages to take everything up another notch in performance. The 'superpower' ability of the Aqua II is that its additional resolution and more vivid imaging meant that I could still hear everything in the music even at lower volumes, a trait that comes in handy with low-powered SET amplifiers. I didn't get a sense I was missing anything in the music even at lower SPL levels, the music was just projected with more authority to me as a listener. To borrow from baseball parlance, Richard and Sue have been on a 'home run streak' with their newly developed product lines of Sophia Electric's 'sexy blue tubes'. I've really been impressed with the premium Sophia Electric EL34-ST, KT88-ST, and Aqua 274B blue glass vacuum tubes that I've listened to over the last few years. You can now add the new Aqua II 274B rectifier to that list, which is another 'out of the ballpark home run' in a 274B design. Kudos to Richard, the Aqua II 274B is an impressive accomplishment. If you can use a 274B rectifier in your amplifier, the Sophia Electric Aqua II 274B is an easy recommendation, and I heartily recommend you give one a try. I cannot imagine anyone being less than thrilled with its performance."
