AURORA (F-18)

6V6 Push Pull Mono-Blocks / Class A Ultra Linear 8W (Default)

2025 Debut

Like everything today , naming the “Aurora” is helped by AI - evoking the dawn of a new era in music. Here, we hope the Aurora will make tube amp great again in the HIFI scheme/industry, the Aurora Mono-Blocks will plays out all those beautiful colours and magical tube feeling that everyone will love listen to all day long. As for the model code - F (Finale), 1 - Mono/Channel, 8 Watts of Total Output. So why 6V6? other than it sounds so beautiful and has a strong flavor of tube sound. It’s also a very durable type of output tube and easy to find replacement. And we wired it in Ultra Linear Push Pull for a good reason. It has the power / handling / performance of Pentode Push Pull mode, but also has that sweetness, refinement, holographic feeling of Triode Push Pull mode. As always, we will team up with Hammonds (Canada) made high quality transformers - they have been in the business in manufacturing / engineer audio transformers for over 80 years, consecutive. It’s the best or nothing!

For prices - we know at this very time since the WWII, we need to come down in prices, so more people could rediscover good music and true high end hifi enjoyment at home. We would like to priced the Aurora starting at $3,500 USD / Pair, including shipping! And that’s perhaps the most affordable pair of mono-blocks we recently debut, but what’s more - the AURORA also has the closest sound and quality / performance , to the legendary triodes design such as 45 Push Pull and the 2A3 Push Pull (such as the Triode Lab’s GT/GTC series), which cost 3-5X the prices. So how can we do it? the 6V6 is a indirect heated tube, which means it started it’s life quiet enough already as an audio output tube. (45/2A3 triode tubes are direct heated type and has a long plate for noise , so they required much more precision and engineering to make them sing as quiet and refine , thus the much higher cost in construction and design around these tubes in comparison.)

And for the more enthusiast listeners and tube connoisseurs. The AURORA could be wired in Push Pull Triode (F-14) , but with a sweeter and more holographic high end sound at 4 watts. Or Push Pull Pentode (F-20) of around 10 watts. Along with over 10+ official colours/finish of your choice - the combination is endless - it can be custom to your style. And there will be four tubes per block, one 12AX7 and a pair of 6V6 is required per block, along with one more 6CA4/EZ81 rectifier tube. And there are 5 levels. Size of the chassis will be smaller than a A4/Letter size piece of paper , the four tubes will all be in the front.
