A hybrid stereo tube amplifier with tone controls AND a phono preamp AND meters?! Is the Dayton Audio HTA100BT too good to be true? NOMS: Nerding Out For Music Sounds
I love mine. I did modify it a little. First, I didn’t see a reason for the fan. The sound of the fan starting and stopping bothered me. Some listeners it might not. I changed the fan out to one that I can’t hear, at all. Now my amp is perfect. Best bang for the buck.

I had something similar to this. A Rockville blutube amp. It looks a lot like this amp. Then I got a pure tube amp. It was a nobsound 6jp1 amp. I think. It had huge power tube. And like six other tubes. Sounded pretty good. I now have a schitt freya* and a emotiva xpa dr2 power amp. I’ve gotten a little akai as-1030 vintage amp. Sweet warm coloration sound. This is an expensive hobby

I run this with a 10” sub with crossover set at 100hz…Gads of bass. …and the BT works wonderfully when using that input. I agree mids and highs are focused/accurate/uncolored at least through the fatman satellites running with my sub. My ears prefer fast/punchy/accurate lows and mid-lows and I find myself dialing the bass back a bit more often than not. Thanks for your review

Just unboxed and connected to vintage klipsch KG4 speakers using bluetooth Tidal ap. After a little warmup, sounds mighty sweet.

@@blackbeansmatter1280 nabbed another pair off craigslist last week. Drove 3 hours one way. $350 for the pair. Sounded good in his surround sound....got them home and realized a tweeter is dead. New caps soon and a Crites titanium diaphragm...hope all is good.

So a turntable doesn't sound so good on this unit? Im looking for a small tube preamp/amp like this for that very reason. A friend of mine has a Douk Audio X1 tube amp that he purchased on Amazon and swears by it producing an excellent sound quality from his turntable.

How much do you wanna bet the warm glow from the tubes are LEDs. Notice how they snap right on.

Mine has low volume static on right channel after about 50 hours of total play. Should I replace the tubes? Annoying sound.

It has a phono input. I'm using a Pro Ject Essential III which has no preamp of it's own. Just plug it into the HTA100. Works great.

They're, not their. What are you basing your claim on?? Those are the preamp side only, not the amp, which is solid state.
