Know before you buy
The VA350 is designed to provide a rich, warm, and musical presentation. By combining KT120 output tubes with a MOSFET driver stage, it achieves a balance of tube-driven harmonic depth and solid-state precision, resulting in excellent tone color and imaging.
No, the VA350 is an integrated amplifier, meaning it features a built-in solid-state preamplifier section. You can connect your source components directly to the RCA inputs on the back.
Yes, the VA350 is compatible with both 4-ohm and 8-ohm speaker loads. It delivers 80 watts per channel, providing enough power to drive a wide variety of high-fidelity speaker systems effectively.
No, the VA350 is a purely analog design and does not include a built-in digital-to-analog converter. You will need to use an external DAC if you are playing audio from digital sources.
No, the VA350 does not include a remote control. All volume and input adjustments must be made manually on the unit itself.
The amplifier measures 38.5 x 24.5 x 41.5 cm and weighs approximately 20 kg. Because it uses vacuum tubes, ensure you place it on a sturdy, level surface with adequate ventilation space above and around the unit to manage heat dissipation.
