Prautes Vacuum Tube Headphone Amp
Product Description
The Prautes unlocks an unsurpassed listening experience for the audio customer. The Prautes is primarily a headphone amplifier, although it can also power small speakers and provides a line-out stage. The controls are optimized for headphone output, and the result is an unbelievable clarity, presence and expansive soundstage. The Prautes drives a wide range of headphone types and provides for impedance matching. A very subtle bass boost feature is included.
The Prautes amplifier seeks to present music in a manner that delivers subtlety, image, detail, and excitement, all in an accurate manner that duplicates the live experience. The Prautes amplifier combines vintage tubes, military technology, and hand made USA components to create the ultimate experience. Using a 12AU7 tube gain stage to drive a pair of 50L6 tubes in push-pull mode, the Prautes provides for more power than needed for almost all headphones — and can drive high efficiency speakers with about 2 watts. Five separate output impedance settings are provided to match listening equipment, including 8 ohm speakers, standard headphones, high impedance headphones and In-Ear-Monitors. The result is a legacy piece—one that is timeless and enduring.
