Amplifier
The Headonia should be easy on tubes and provide long life as the amplifier is never hot to the touch. The 2A3 direct heated triode is legendary in audiophile circles. The Headonia 2A3 outs a 3 watts of pure power, with two Electro Harmonix Gold 2A3 Tubes along with two JJ ECC81 tubes:
- On the front panel, from left to right, you have the 4-pin XLR balanced output, in the middle is the main volume control and right next to it, the 6.3 mm single-ended headphone output. On the bottom of the unit, you’ll find the air vents and the main power button, together with a blue LED (light-on as soon as the amplifier turns on).
- On the top of the unit, you have the impedance selectors for both of the separate outputs, as well as the line-in selector switch. The four tubes are centred on the design and they’re protected with a little grill, separating them from the controls.
- On the back of the unit from left to right, you can find the four RCA inputs, the tube balancing control pots and the power connector.
