After 3 years of R&D we have finally achieved our goal and are proud to bring what we believe is the best amplifier in its class, in terms of performance and value. It is a fully MANUAL amplifier as its intended for use is on desk tops or in small rooms and is an ideal introduction to a proper Hi-Fi system, when used with our Apprentice TT, for young students 1st system or older users who live in a small flat. It is available in our full colour range so you can match it to your Edwards TT of choice, making for a very on trend modern stylish system, just add speakers. At its heart it has a 30W fully discrete class AB power amplifier section The pre-amp section is op-amp based which drives a discrete headphone amplifier. The performance of this little gem of an amplifier will give many bigger rivals a major headache. Its small 220mm square format makes it ideal for desk top or bedroom/small room applications. Fully equipped with a dedicated MM Phono input, 3 line inputs, 2 via rear mounted RCA and one front panel mounted 3.5mm Jack. It also has a dedicated headphone amplifier which automatically mutes the speakers when in use. Other possible upgrade options include an optional pre-amp output allowing you to upgrade with a better remote power amplifier like our P1 or P4 The Apprentice IA is available in the following colours: Black, Grey, Red, White, Green and Blue.
