Its miniature size, unique, attractive styling and smooth, accurate reproduction of music have made it a favorite with tube equipment lovers. Headphone listeners have been astounded at its performance and its affordable price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarMax boasts an Output Transformer Less (OTL), Class A Triode design.
