YAMAMOTO SOUND CRAFT
Yamamoto Sound Craft's HA-02 has quickly gained a reputation for being among the most refined and natural-sounding headphone amplifiers available at any price. Designed around the Western Electric 408A - an outstanding vacuum tube that was originally used in high-frequency signal applications - this single-stage, no-negative feedback headphone amplifier wears its Yamamoto pedigree on its sleeve. As in Yamamoto's breathtaking SET power amplifiers, premium parts are used throughout, including custom transformers with Teflon-insulated windings and Yamamoto's own highly-regarded tube sockets. The chassis is sculpted from resin-infused Japanese cherry, and solid African ebony legs are used for resonance control. And yes, the HA-02 sounds every bit as good as it looks!

Every HA-02 is shipped with a NOS pair of Western Electric 408A tubes and an Audio-Technica iPod adaptor cable.
