Our Top 3 Tube Headphone Amps & Why We Love Them | Moon Audio
Enjoy a live music experience in your own private space with the Cayin HA-6A Tube Headphone Amplifier. Compared to solid state amplifiers, vacuum tube amplifiers are known for their warm, rich, rounded, and full-bodied sound. However, the HA-6A gives the listener options for customizing the sound to suit their tastes and their music.
The HA-6A comes with one set of vacuum tubes: Electro-Harmonics EL-34 (warm). A dedicated tube selector switch allows the listener to alternate between the two to suit their preferences. Power rectification comes from a pair of NOS RCA 17AX4GT tubes, while voltage amplification is provided by a pair of Electro-Harmonix 12AU7EH tubes.
A really nice feature of the HA-6A is dual operation mode, which allows the listener to alter the sound signature with the touch of a button.
Smooth, lush, rich in harmonics, holographic. The quintessential tube sound. Ideal for vocal and string music.
Improved power and extension, clean, energetic, authoritative, transparent. Ideal for music that requires a lot of punch, dynamic, and control.
The HA-6A will drive a wide range of headphones. Three gain modes (low, mid, high) make the amplifier compatible with everything from power-hungry planar magnetic headphones to high-sensitivity IEMs.
The entire circuitry is handwired by skillful craftsman. This yields a circuit design with a high level of transparency and refinement, improving overall efficiency and conductivity.
The HA-6A boasts a modern, industrial design with large VU meters that emit a warm glow and add visual appeal to the handpainted aluminum alloy front panel. Measuring about 14 inches long by 12.7 inches deep and 7.7 inches high, the unit fits nicely in a desktop setup.
The advantage of a transformer coupled tube headphone amplifier is that the matched pair output transformers can deliver genuine balanced driven output for excellent soundstage and separation.
Multi-stage independent power supply voltage amplification employs independent regulator design. This minimizes the ripple effect of power interference, ensuring outstanding audio performance that is free from any grain and harshness.
Transformers are the cornerstone of tube amplification. Cayin designs and custom-builds all the transformers of the HA-6A in-house.
Minimizes interference during transmission.
