Warmth, control and pure power from tubes. Not an all-in-one solution, but an output stage with character that makes the highs whisper even loudly. This is for listeners who consciously build their set and know exactly where the magic should happen.
With us you will find tube amplifiers that let you experience, driving your speakers with musicality, excitement and grip. New or used, always chosen on what they add as a power amplifier.
Buying tube power amplifiers for warm hi-fi performance
What is a tube power amplifier?
A tube power amplifier is a power amplifier that uses vacuum tubes to amplify the audio signal and drive your speakers. Unlike an integrated amplifier, a tube power amplifier has no volume control or source selection. For that, you use a separate preamplifier. Within a HiFi set, this is a conscious choice. Separating the preamplification and power amplification creates more control over the construction of your system. The tube power amplifier focuses entirely on power, control and sound.
Why choose a tube power amplifier?
A separate tube power amplifier combines the advantages of separate amplification with the characterful sound of tubes. For many listeners, the gain is in the combination of musicality and focus. Typical features of a tube power amplifier are:
warm and natural sound
rich midrange and smooth highs
more character in the display
an engaged and spacious soundscape
Especially when combined with the right preamp and well-matched speakers, a tube power amplifier can audibly refine a set.
Different types of tube power amplifiers
Within this subcategory, there are distinct differences in design and operation. This affects power, sound and compatibility with speakers. With us you will encounter, among others:
stereo tube power amplifiers for classic two-channel sets
mono blocks for maximum channel separation
push-pull designs with more power and grip
single-ended designs with a pure and direct signal path
The right choice depends heavily on your speakers, your preamp and the kind of sound you are looking for.
New and used tube power amplifiers
Tube power amplifiers are interesting in both new and pre-owned versions. New models offer modern reliability, stable performance and often a sleek finish. Used models, on the other hand, can have a lot of character, especially if they are classic designs or unusual tube configurations. With us, used tube power amplifiers are checked for technical condition, operation and overall performance. Not only do we look at the amplifier itself, but also at things like the condition of the tubes and the overall match within a HiFi set.
What do you look for when choosing a tube power amplifier?
With a tube power amplifier, the match to the rest of your set is especially important.Important points to watch out for:
compatibility with your preamplifier
power and suitability for your speakers
type of tubes and the corresponding sound character
maintenance, bias and replaceability of tubes
A good tube power amplifier does not necessarily have to have extremely high power, but it must be a good match for the sensitivity and impedance of your speakers.
Why buy a tube power amplifier from us
We look at tube power amplifiers as they were intended: as a serious link in a carefully constructed hi-fi set. We select for sound, control and character, as well as how an amplifier behaves in combination with real speakers and preamps. For those who consciously choose separate amplification and seek the musical properties of tubes, you’ll find tube power amplifiers that do more than just deliver power.
CD
The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
Our playlist runs at full speed every day. Filled with everything, from the usual audiophile tracks to poorly recorded classics from the past, from a special Scandinavian chamber choir to hard Dutch hardcore. Enjoy it as we enjoy it too. Here are the links to the Freaklist! on Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify.
Once inside you forget outside, relaxation is the starting point. Sit down and play the music you like at the desired volume. Don't procrastinate, ask questions. Need a listening break, walk to the bar, grab a drink and start a game of pool.
Soon hopefully!
Nice ones only!

Describing all daily listening sessions is not feasible, but highlighting one every now and then is of course fun to do and hopefully also fun to read. Several times a day, new combinations arise here from what visitors request or what we think has a chance. Read our experiences here.
Soon hopefully!

We are having a great time with all the audio and we can share that feeling with most visitors. Yet sometimes there are companions who have no interest in it at all. Audio can be stolen from them. We also like to make those genes happy.
Soon hopefully!
