Pangea Audio HP 201 Tube Headphone Amplifier
The Pangea Audio HP201 combines Class A solid state circuitry featuring MOSFET output devices with a premium vacuum tube to create the smooth, authentic headphone playback characteristics that music enthusiasts crave. The Pangea engineering team, led by renowned engineer/designer Jay Victor, selected MOSFETS rather than more affordable op-amp devices because of their performance advantages. “I tested a variety of solid state output devices and vacuum tubes in the design process of the HP201, selecting the combination I thought delivered the best performance despite their substantially higher cost,” reported Victor. The 12AX7 vacuum tube is protected by an easily removable shield, making it a simple task to swap in compatible tubes from different manufacturers for enthusiasts interested in experimenting with the sound. Built upon a sturdy all-steel chassis featuring a burly ten millimeter machined metal face plate, the HP201 is designed to deliver long-lasting high-performance audio.
