Welcome Thank you for purchasing the Dayton Audio HTA100 Integrated Stereo Hybrid Tube Amplifier. This amplifier has been designed to make it easy for anyone to enjoy the warm, natural sound quality of vacuum tube amplification without the size, power consumption, and price of using traditional tube amplifiers. The HTA series from Dayton Audio achieves this by combining vacuum tubes in the preamp input section with a modern power efficient solid state Class A/B output power amplifier.
