Edwards Audio HA1

Als de Edwards Audio HA1 de kwaliteiten bezit van haar MM/MC phonoversterkers dan wacht de gerenommeerde "instap" merken een geduchte concurrent. De kwaliteit en uitvoering is geheel in lijn met de Edwards Audio phonoversterkers en op de prijsstelling is al in ieder geval niets op aan te merken!

Listen and Believe

"The HA1 is a fully discrete Bi-Polar headphone amplifier with a standard line level input with loop output, so you don't loose an input, plus a rear panel switch-able dedicated MP3/iPod input. (trade marks acknowledged). It has a very low output impedance and uniquely features a fully regulated power supply which both lowers noise and increases the dynamic range. The pre-amp section is totally passive with the input going directly to the volume control. It will happily drive all know types of headphone with ease. This is no standard headphone amplifier.

The headphone output jack is a professional quality 6.3mm 1/4" Neutrik type which will prove very robust over many years of use. The sound quality is totally effortless with big out of the head imaging with clean clear dynamics which creates a very musical performance that totally belies this diminutive box, this actually makes headphone listening fun. It has all the usual Edwards Audio styling and gold plated PCB's but most importantly is also covered by our 10 year guarantee."

"The HA1 is Edwards Audio first headphone amplifier, and having just heard a pre production version I can state with confidence that this is something really very special. Built around a completely discrete circuit (rather than chip based) and designed like a very high quality small power amplifier, it is capable of producing ample output for almost any headphones (it's rated at 2 watts!), and with a very low output impedance (so suitable for both low and high impedance headphones). It has a line level input, a line out (so it can be put in line with a source component if required) and a 3.5mm input for MP3/iPod use, selected via a rear mounted switch. The HA1 can be upgraded with the PSU1 power supply for even greater performance."

"Its sound quality is very special, many competing headphone amplifiers sound rather anaemic and lacklustre, lacking drive and scale, but not the HA1 which is potent sounding without losing any subtlety. The resolution and midband realism is beyond anything I've heard at the price, and tonal colouring is rich and voluptuous."
