Antares Headphone Amplifier

A number of TRON owners around the world have been asking me for years to produce a headphone amplifier. Clearly if I was going to make one it would have to be something very special. So after listening to a number of top headphones and amplifiers it was clearly evident there was a massive difference in sound quality between the headphones and todays top loudspeakers: i.e. Cessaro, DeVore Fidelity and Avantgarde Acoustic. This made me think what might be possible if a "State of the Art" amplifier was specifically designed to power the very best high-end headphones in the world. This led to over 2 years of development and testing with all the top headphones from Sennheiser, Audeze, HiFiMan, AKG, Abyss, Pioneer and Ultrasone and this has resulted in the Antares Headphone amplifier being produced. This amplifier has a topology very similar to TRON's top SET designs so the sound is extremely natural, organic and dynamic, just like real music! If you really want to hear your headphones at their very best then you need to hear them through a Tron Antares - a star among headphone amplifiers...
