HTA-800B

Description

The HTA-800B combines the analog sound of tubes with the power of transistors to give the best sound at the price!

KEY FEATURES

• Sleek aluminum front panel design is suitable for most interiors.
• Hybrid design utilizing two 6H3N vacuum tubes in the preamp section and four Toshiba transistors ensures a very warm, linear and lifelike sound with high dynamic presentation.
• High-performance and high-power toroidal 230W transformer provides stable, constant and immediately-available energy at any volume level and allows to properly drive different types of speakers.
• Bluetooth® - to wirelessly stream music from smartphones, tablets or computers.
• 3 analog inputs including a turntable (MM cartridge) input so you can enjoy music from your favorite vinyl records.
• Digital Optical and Coaxial inputs based on a premium high-resolution 24bit / 192kHz DAC to connect a range of digital audio devices (CD / DVD / Blu-ray players, video game consoles etc.).
• Preamplifier output dedicated for an optional external power amplifier, a powered subwoofer or active speakers.
• RCA sockets made of high-end solid machined brass.
• The high-end class, gold-plated speaker terminals offer almost lossless audio signal transmission to the speakers.
• High-fidelity headphone preamplifier for those who prefer discrete listening.
• Aluminum remote controller.
• IEC C14 power inlet and a removable Schuko-IEC C13 power cord an option to upgrade your system with a premium audiophile power cable in any time.

Technology

Hybrid amplifier

What does it mean and why does TAGA Harmony use this approach?

Hybrid means a combination of two different techniques to create an amplifier in one device: the World of tubes and the World of transistors.

TAGA Harmony amplifiers use vacuum tubes in the preamp section and transistors in the power stage. This results in tube, soft and analog-like sound character and at the same time high dynamics and power provided by transistors, which is usually a weak point of pure tube designs.

The sound of TAGA Harmony hybrid amplifiers is not only silky and rich but also powerful and dynamic. In addition, hybrid amplifiers compared to pure tube amps have better abilities to properly drive different kind of speakers.

After being turned on a hybrid amplifier requires to warm up its tubes to reach its full sound capabilities – it usually takes from 5 to 15 minutes depending on model and room temperature.
