Description :
The Almarro A205A is a compact Class A Single-Ended Pentode Integrated amplifer. The A205A is a nicely crafted, attractive, minimalist integrated amplifier with one pair of RCA inputs and a passive volume control. The design allows the user to use either EL84 or 6BQ5 output tubes, 8/ 16 ohm speaker outputs and headphone jack is provided. Reports from the field have suggested that the A205A responds well to valve rolling.
The Almarro A205A's sonic characteristic is just a wee bit on the dark side, yet it also possesses a sweet inner fire that infused the music with an intensity of musical color and the spark of emotive communication that makes it an instant hit with the listener. And before long, a hit with many others in the audio underground. In the case of the Almarro A205A, audio designer Yoshihiro-san really got back to the roots of both audio and musical design for the audio everyman to give 4.8 watts of romping musical thrust to get the musical mojo swinging. Word has gotten out pretty well about what a great little amplifier the Almarro A205A is. In fact, it has achieved a certain underground status as a musical giant killer for those on a budget.
