Review on 🎢 HiFi Bluetooth 5.0 Vacuum Tube Amplifier: 160W x 2 Digital Stereo Audio Amp with APTX-HD by Paul Martindale

Revainrating 5 out of 5

AMAZING TUBE AMPLIFIER

This is a solid amp, but to get the most out of it you'll need to upgrade the power supply with a Parts Express DC 36V, 5A, 5000mA, 180W switching power supply. 100240V sold by Revain (B0756MZSBT). It works great and gives you the best out of this amp. I also added Revain's WAudio 3.3FT AC Power Cable 10AWG HiFi Audiophile Power Cord with IEC US Plug (B01L2MBYWC) as the power supply has a 3-pin ground input to dress it up and ensure there is no mains noise (which I have not done). ). experience with a normal cable with power supply). Another thing I like about this amp is that Bluetooth is manually toggled on and off with a switch rather than overriding the RCA source when Bluetooth is present. An added bonus is the USB audio input on the back. So if you're missing a DAC, you can still connect a PC or laptop and stream audio (I don't use Apple products). ;-)

Pros
  • MULTIPLE AUDIO INPUTS: Featuring Stereo RCA/Bluetooth 5.0/PC USB inputs, No Drivers Required, Plug and Play, Fully Compatible with iPod, Phone, MP3, TV, CD Player, Laptop, Desktop or other players that stream media, etc. meet most of the needs of a typical home audio system.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Packs a lot of clean punch at a really reasonable cost.
