This brand spankin’ new Aurorasound HFSA-01 Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier uses two pair of EL84s in push-pull configuration for 14 Watts of output power.
A Texas Instruments OPA 604 A op-amp is used in the driver stage to bring the SOVTEK EL84s to life, while a Rohm silicon carbide diode is employed for rectification.
The Aurorasound HFSA-01 includes a MM Phono stage, and if it’s anything like the Aurorasound VIDA Prima Phono Stage I reviewed I’m in for a treat, in addition to 3 line level RCA inputs and 4- and 8 Ohm speaker outputs to better mate with your speakers.
From Aurorasound: The front panel is ornamented with Mahogany wood on both sides to enhance the retro appearance producing a rather relaxing atmosphere for more enjoyable audio life.
Up front resides a power button, defeatable Bass and Treble tone controls, a stereo/mono toggle switch, a headphone jack, along with volume and input selector knobs.
When I first saw photos (and specs) for the Aurorasound HFSA-01 I thought—nice! Seeing one in Barn my eyes are even happier and my ears are, as of now, jealous. We shall remedy that with play time soon. Stay tubed! I mean—tuned!
