Magic of tubes, dynamics of transistors
…combining the tube preamplifier stage with the transistor output stages resulted in a sound based on richly reproduced timbre
and vividness, but also well-presented dynamics. Adding to that the low-extended and, when needed, massive bass. (HiFi Class review)
The presentation of all kinds of plucked string instruments is very addictive – guitars, banjos sound natural, and female or male
vocals are not extended, but smooth and in their place.
… The whole sound is very coherent, smooth and clear, it has certain tidiness that can be found in more expensive devices. (Audio Muzo Fans review)
The TAGA HARMONY HTA-1000B is a 105W hybrid (tube/transistors) affordable integrated amplifier that provides a sweet and rich yet fast sound with oodles of power.
HTA-1000B utilizes three high-performance PSVANE vacuum tubes from the Classic series in the preamp section and four Toshiba transistors at the output.
This implementation ensures a very warm, inviting sound, linear and lifelike sound combined with excellent slam and control.
High-performance tubes and a high-power 400W toroidal transformer provides stable, constant and immediate-available energy at any volume level.
The audiophile grade Japanese ALPS volume potentiometer ensures minimal noises and channels crosstalk and has excellent operational feel and limits errors between the two channels.
The audiophile grade WIMA capacitors ensure stable playback improving music tone and sound field depth.
The high-end class, gold-plated speaker connectors offer almost lossless audio signal transmission to the speakers.
Analog inputs with high-end solid machined brass RCA sockets can accommodate up to 3 stereo devices including a turntable (MM cartridge) so you can enjoy music from your favorite vinyl records.
You can connect a range of digital devices via optical or coaxial inputs and a built-in premium high-resolution 24bit / 192kHz DAC will always provide the best sound performance.
The HTA-1000B is also an ideal companion for mobile devices – stream music from smartphones, tablets or computers compatible with Bluetooth®.
For those who prefer discrete listening we equipped the HTA-1000B with a high-fidelity headphone preamplifier.
Preamplifier output is dedicated for an optional external power amplifier or powered subwoofer and speakers.
The HTA-1000B offers additional options for easy upgrading the sound quality:
– Removable IEC power cable gives you an option to upgrade your system with a premium audiophile power cable in any time;
– The tubes are installed in high-quality ceramic sockets and they can be very easily exchanged for new tubes of your choice.
The HTA-1000B combines the analog sound of tubes with the high power of transistors and provides the best sound!
