Time for a warm up

The xDuoo MT-601s combines the sumptuous warmth of a tube amplifier with the dynamics and speed of a transistor circuit for an amp that can handle any genre thrown its way. It’s a great purchase for anyone looking to pair the old-school tube sound to single-ended headphones, no matter their impedance.

The MT-601s is a reissue of the MT-601 featuring a 12AU7/ECC82 tube instead of a 6N11/E88CC tube.

Tube + Transistor

A common complaint about tube amplifiers is their lack of high frequency response and resolving power. To overcome this, xDuoo added a rear transistor circuit capable of large dynamics, high speed, and resolving power. Together, they offer the best of both worlds.

Class-A amplifier

The MT-601s is a class-A amplifier. Using simple circuits that draw the same amount of current and consume the same amount of energy whether receiving a signal or not, this is the most straightforward of amplifier types. It isn’t subject to electromagnetic interference caused by digital components, so its total harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are exceptionally low.

Tubes will roll

Adventurous audiophiles will appreciate the ability to swap the stock tube for other tubes. Each tube has a different sound signature, adding or subtracting qualities like warmth, detail, and soundstage. It’s a fun way to play with the sound signature of a single amp, often for less than $30 a pop. Just be sure to find a reputable dealer of tubes before buying.

Doubles as a preamplifier

The minimalist backplate provides only one RCA input and one RCA output. The latter can be used to connect the MT-601s to another amplifier or active speakers, affording either the sonic benefits of tube amplification.
