Trends Audio has just announced the launch of its latest hi-fi product – the Trends PA-10.1D Tube Headphone/Pre Amplifier. The PA-10.1 provides all functions of a headphone amplifier and pre amplifier plus the flexibility and fun of being able to tailor the sound through tube rolling. The new Trends PA-10.1D includes a switchable input (CD/DAC or PC/iPod) as well as twin outputs for those who would like to take advantage of bi-amping. Meanwhile, it applies ELNA capacitors which result in improved transient performance, enhanced spatial accuracy and low frequency realism.

With pure class-A circuit and low voltage hybrid (tube/transistor) design, this new preamp is claimed to provide audiophile quality sound, while being easy and safe for the DIYer. The PA-10.1D Tube Headphone/Pre Amplifier provides an affordable way to get into the true high fidelity headphone hobby.
