What we liked
- + Dedicated MM phono input lets a turntable plug straight in without a separate phono preamp
- + JAN5725 tubes in pluggable sockets add a visible tube glow and allow tube swaps to adjust the tone
- + Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX and aptX HD, tone controls with bypass, and a subwoofer output for a 2.1 system
Trade-offs
- - No radio tuner is listed, so it is a tube-style integrated amp rather than a true AM/FM receiver
- - Power is quoted as up to 160W x 2 into 4 ohms only, with no figure given for 8 ohm speakers
