Mars Stereo Tube Amplifier
R16000.00
This amplifier is the result of years of research in how to get maximum audio quality out of a relatively simple circuit design. We have found a solution to the woes of tube matching and bias adjustments. The result is incredible bass and clarity at low and high volume and extreme reliability. With auto bias and a Class A power amplifier there are no settings you need to worry about. The sound is just in another league to anything you have heard.
By buying this amplifier, you create jobs and you support the informal sector of the developing world. The environmental impact of this technology is low, it is completely recyclable and lasts a lifetime.
No environmentally hazardous printed circuit boards are used.
