HTA-25B

$324 valve amp from Poland – That's Taga's HTA-25B revised for 2021. It's an 18/25wpc into 8/4Ω hybrid with a quad of preamp tubes (2 x 6P1, 2 x 6N1) and class AB transistor outputs driven from a 120-watt power toroid. Despite the entry-level sticker, there's headfi, a USB input, treble and bass controls, even a pre-out. The machine weighs 5kg and sports two line-level inputs. It's finished in black as shown.
