Design Philosophy:
The F-208A is our highest dollar-to-refinement ratio amplifier. This unit combines the
most silky, high quality play back with 10 Watts of Class A, real world drivability. Fully
automatic, it needs only 6 tubes and is ready-to-play without the headache of matching
the EL84 power tubes (however, you will want to match the two 12AX7 preamp tubes).
Although it is an integrated unit, we find that the superb inner details, proper weight and
joy of music, real life transient speed and quiet, stable operations will beat a lot of the
current preamp-power amp combinations — especially If you are looking for the best
sounding EL84 Integrated Amp under $2K.
On second thought, forget that — we have heard, serviced, seen tons of tube amps around
the world, new or old, entry or exotic — and, regardless of price, this is one of the best
you’ll hear, period
!
