The AMP16 is designed with two Raytheon JAN6418 directly heated vacuum tubes, known for their small size, low power consumption, and excellent stability. Unlike most portable audio devices that use 9V or 12V power supplies, the AMP16 comes with a specialized 22.5V anode power supply tailored for the JAN6418 tubes. This higher voltage setup enhances performance by providing more headroom, allowing the tubes to operate at their best.
Key Features:
- Dual Raytheon JAN6418 tubes for rich and natural sound
- 22.5V Anode power supply
- Tube and Class AB output modes
- (4x) Ti Dual OPAMP + (4x) BUF634A
- 4.4mm + 3.5mm outputs
Dual Raytheon JAN6418 Tubes
The dual JAN6418 tubes give the AMP16 an analog sound with warmth and richness, providing an immersive listening experience.
Tube and Class AB Output Modes
Select between Tube Flavor and Opamp Clarity for different sound profiles. Tube mode offers warmth and sweetness, while Class AB mode provides better resolution and dynamic range.
Microphonic effects and interference may occur in Tube mode but are not noticeable during music playback. Class AB mode offers a clean and detailed sound profile.
Precisely Crafted Structure
The AMP16 combines technology and design, featuring Raytheon tubes, high-performance dual OPAMPs, and BUF634A in a compact form factor. Meticulously selected capacitors enhance audio quality to deliver an unparalleled experience.
JRC Volume Control
The 100-step JRC volume control not only adjusts volume but also reduces tube noise for a quieter background.
Tube Selection With APX555
Tube variations are minimized using APX555 audio testing equipment for SINAD pairing, ensuring high-quality audio output with up to 50 pairings per day.
PORON Suspension
Tubes are suspended using PORON material for shock absorption and reduced microphonic effects.
