ARIAND FV34B (Cryo) Eu Remote

Details

FV34B MKIV SOLD OUT, NEW STOCK MID SEP 2012. 14 day trial, free delivery. New with remote. Supplied with tube cage. Price shown includes VAT at 20%, ignore the shopping cart comment that VAT will be added.This is the very latest 2011 version of the amplifier, finished in gloss piano black, wood side cheeks and can be swtiched to a stereo power amp (via toggle switch on front) The amplifier is CE aproved, fitted with ClarityCap SA capacitors, three line inputs, better quality loudspeaker terminals and 230v transformers specially wound for the EU market.

Made even better with Cryo Treated valves.

We believe the use of SA coupling caps and deep cryo treated valves hugely improves this amp, better bass extension and nicer mids.

This amp is not to be confused with the 220v amps made for the Chinese domestic market.

RE: Valve amps

I would still prefer to go with someone like Icon Audio with proper UK backup warranty / support.
