Its a tube, but not a tube. and its lovely
So. for the last few years, ive been wanting to get a turntable and get the old vinyl out. I of course wanted a tube amp, but lets be honest. Im not $1000 anxious for one. So I found this. a nice tubed preamp with a solid state power amp to the speakers. vintage VU meters. no muss no fuss. The first one I got, had a faulty VU meter that would go in and out. (yes I checked with various different input sources). So I called them up. Boom, a guy answers the phone , in ohio, from the actual company, that speaks english. We talked about about the issue and he said to just return it for a new one. First one I bought was from walmart. So I drove down to the store and dropped it off, meanwhile I ordered the replacement from amazon. Received it in two days. No issues with this one. I purchased a fluance rt85 turntable to go with it, and plugged it into my Technics SB-L55 speakers I purchased in the 80s in high school.The sound is wonderful. Warm, full, yummy. If you can, get some real 3 way tower speakers. at 100 watts RMS, do yourself a favor and get some full range speakers. (cerwin vega cough cough) Book shelfs are cute and if you dont have the space, I understand. BUt youre just missing out I think. There is a reason bands have big speakers at shows. we always ran big 3 ways with separate subs. You just get a much better sound stage. This ALSO has a sub output. so you can really dig into the bass if you want it. eventually i’ll probably do that, but the technics sound great as they are. The bluetooth works great as well and VERY simple to pair. before my turntable came in, i just paired it with my ipod touch to see how it performed. Highly recommended. oh and, its looks awesome with the tubes glowing 🙂

Forget this is $230 amp…
My current system is fairly respectable: Technics 1200 GAE turntable; Audio Technica AT33sa MC cartridge; Lehman Black Cube phone stage w/upgraded toroidal transformer; Klipsch Heresy 1s. This amp does no injustice to this setup.I have been using a Vincent SV-500 hybrid amp for the last 4 years. This is an excellent hybrid in its own right (it’s over $1000 more). I also currently have a Fisher 800c tube receiver. This receiver is easily better than most new amplifiers at many times its cost, tube or solid state.Compared with each amplifier, the HTA-100 more than holds its own. The SV-500 I would describe as clean but slightly warm amp overall with a good soundstage. It sounds more like a really good Pass Labs SS amp overall. The Fisher of course is a standout amplifier, extremely liquid with a compatible speaker (like the Klipsch H1s), excellent tonal balance, and everything one likes about a vintage tube amp. I would place the HTA-100 somewhere between the two. It has a bit more tube warmth than either in some areas, however really good SS slam for rocking out, with a huge soundstage in the lower midrange. On the other hand, at lower volumes it is every bit as full, with delicate detail, deep image and amazing musicality overall. I would say it is closer to the Fisher than the Vincent. The best way to describe it is somewhere between the Fisher (or any good vintage tube amp) and good mid-70s coupling capped solid state. I no longer use the SV-500 and will be selling it. I use an A/B switch now switching between the HTA-100 and the Fisher to my Klipsch.I have not used the built in phono, as I use the Black Cube to support my cartridge.The Bluetooth works extremely well (I could stream from my phone anywhere in the house on 3 floors) and sounds really good for a wireless digital source. Every major input is available. Coaxial/optical digital, line-level analog, MM phono. It is also excellent with my TV.Build quality is top notch. The 5 year warranty is as good as any out there.Don’t consider the HTA-100 as a $230 amp that happens to be a good value. It is a genuinely good amplifier in its own right. I would give it 6 stars if it were possible.

Great bang for the buck.
OK, here is the deal with this little gem. I love the look and Youtube has never sounded better in my headphones. The FM tuner sounds OK, but that’s just radio. It works really really well, and has a nice tube sound, but as many have said the bass is a little on the lose side and it more tight sounding, but I have not broken in the tubes as of yet, I might report back after 100 hours and see how it sounds then. Also one more thing it like others have said it would be nice to have the volume control with more control (it goes from soft to loud pretty fast) So If your having people over you might like it a little less loud, but not to soft sounding either. I see the company was asking about the volume control and I gave it a 4 star because of that. The remote control is very nice to have, it’s pretty light weight but it does not have AA battery’s in it (to give it much weight) So I think that’s why people think it’s cheap but it fells fine to me, and works great. Response is a little slow to turn up the volume, but still it’s nice to have. This has a great price point and you get a lot for the money, a couple more input jacks for other gear would of been nice too. I fell Parts Express has put out a very nice product for someone looking for a more detailed or 3d sound stage with lots of warmth. Just a little more work and this could be a 5 star winner, it’s so close.

HTA200 Beautiful Sound and Great Value!
Fantastic receiver! Love the old school vacuum tubes. Looks great, simple, very powerful (I got the 200 Watt version), and glad I did. The bluetooth connectivity is effective but not as great as other receivers. I have an optical line that runs from TV to the receiver, and playing music this way is far more clear and louder than the bluetooth.Music sounds incredible and warm, and is improving more and more as times passes. Have it paired with a pair of Triangle Borea BR03 speakers and the receiver really enables the sounds to shine.Took one star off for the GARBAGE remote! Honestly, for $399, I agree with other reviews that the remote could be much much better.Still, highly recommend the receiver!

Very happy with this amp the sound is warm and distinct, no problems worth worrying about for what this amp costs.I have no issue of the amp not having a remote control, after all if you are playing a vinyl , then you will be constantly up and down to change records, and guess what, getting off your backside occasionally, you may even loose a few pounds.

El amplificador es una buena opción de compra, está bien construido y se siente de buena calidad. Lo tengo en mi oficina con unas bocinas bookshelf Mourdant Short Mezzo 2, la nitidez es buena y la calidad de audio es excelente. Obviamente no es un equipo high end, no se puede comparar con los amplificadores de bulbos de alta gama, pero si buscas un equipo high end, con buena relación precio/calidad es para ti. Te recomiendo usarlo con las mejores bocinas que pueda pagar tu bolsillo. Vale la pena.

Es la versión más reciente de del HTA100BT, que ahora se llama solamente HTA100 mantiene la conexión BlueTooth e incluye una interfase de audio USB para usarse como salida de la computadora, además de las entradas digital, auxiliar, fibra optica y fonocaptor (phono) para tornamesas . El sonido es excepcional con graves y agudos bien definidos, es recomendable usar bafles pasivos grandes y de buena gama.Muy buena relación costo beneficio. Muy recomendable.

Fue una gran mejora la adicción de la entrada de audio por usb ya que era imposible anteriormente conectar una PC sin necesidad de algún convertido alcanzado calidades de 24 bits 192Khz.
