IFI Audio micro iTube2

摘要

Fortunately, our shared passion for hi-fi accommodates budgets from 'beer' to Brobdingnagian. Valve amplifiers provide a perfect example - a good one isn't cheap, especially if you wish to explore the rarefied world of SETs (Single-Ended Triodes) - but what if you could achieve this sound at a fraction of the cost? IFi Audio reckons it has the answer in the form of its very compact £375 iTube2, which acts as a buffer stage with gains of OdB (unity or 1:1) or +9dB - or you can bring its volume control into play when it acts as a basic preamplifier, again with the OdB or +9dB maximum gain options.
