5.0 out of 5 stars A New Miles Davis Experience

2026-02-05    -Patrick G.

You go for this amp to mix modern convenience with traditional sound. I use this amp with some large Focal Aria speakers and the difference between this and my digital amp is a roundness in the sound. This amp seems not so much “warmer” but rounder. Ample sound stage and even playing complex musical scores like Radiohead The National Anthem this amp keeps up. Each instrument is clear and unique. It keeps its structure throughout the changes. Listening to Miles Davis Kind of Blue and wow. You are there! You can smell the smoke, feel the tables and taste the drinks. The sound stage envelops you. And sure the speakers are good but I don’t get that from my digital amplifier. Plenty of power and no need to adjust bass or treble. Seems like with large speakers it is spot on. Smaller speakers, bookshelf type, and I up the bass a bit but not sure if that is my speaker set up or what.It comes packaged perfectly and set up is a simple plug and play. Build quality is top notch. Plenty of power, nice “rounder” character. This amp is amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its a tube, but not a tube. and its lovely

So. for the last few years, ive been wanting to get a turntable and get the old vinyl out. I of course wanted a tube amp, but lets be honest. Im not $1000 anxious for one. So I found this. a nice tubed preamp with a solid state power amp to the speakers. vintage VU meters. no muss no fuss. The first one I got, had a faulty VU meter that would go in and out. (yes I checked with various different input sources). So I called them up. Boom, a guy answers the phone , in ohio, from the actual company, that speaks english. We talked about about the issue and he said to just return it for a new one. First one I bought was from walmart. So I drove down to the store and dropped it off, meanwhile I ordered the replacement from amazon. Received it in two days. No issues with this one. I purchased a fluance rt85 turntable to go with it, and plugged it into my Technics SB-L55 speakers I purchased in the 80s in high school.The sound is wonderful. Warm, full, yummy. If you can, get some real 3 way tower speakers. at 100 watts RMS, do yourself a favor and get some full range speakers. (cerwin vega cough cough) Book shelfs are cute and if you dont have the space, I understand. BUt youre just missing out I think. There is a reason bands have big speakers at shows. we always ran big 3 ways with separate subs. You just get a much better sound stage. This ALSO has a sub output. so you can really dig into the bass if you want it. eventually i'll probably do that, but the technics sound great as they are. The bluetooth works great as well and VERY simple to pair. before my turntable came in, i just paired it with my ipod touch to see how it performed. Highly recommended. oh and, its looks awesome with the tubes glowing :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Materials and build quality are very good. For a hybrid amp under $500 it's a great deal.

Just received this amp today but I was so impressed I thought I would share my experience. This replaces my first hybrid tube amp with the pretty blue tubes! It was ok but started to have issues like a failed power switch and VU meter. The Dayton HTA200 is worlds apart. It does cost more than double the unit I mentioned but you get what you pay for. This amp can really drive my medium size Klipsch speakers to a point the sound quality seems to come alive. This think is very well built, and the materials are of a very good quality. Time will tell if I any issues develop, but with the great warranty I'm not too concerned. The only complaint is the remote. To adjust the volume, you need to find the sweet spot when aiming it at the amp to get it to function. Also, there is no power button on the remote. You need to get up to turn it off. Not a deal breaker but it would be a nice feature to add at some point in the future.

Es la versión más reciente de del HTA100BT, que ahora se llama solamente HTA100 mantiene la conexión BlueTooth e incluye una interfase de audio USB para usarse como salida de la computadora, además de las entradas digital, auxiliar, fibra optica y fonocaptor (phono) para tornamesas . El sonido es excepcional con graves y agudos bien definidos, es recomendable usar bafles pasivos grandes y de buena gama.Muy buena relación costo beneficio. Muy recomendable.

Gran sonido, excelente precio.

El amplificador es una buena opción de compra, está bien construido y se siente de buena calidad. Lo tengo en mi oficina con unas bocinas bookshelf Mourdant Short Mezzo 2, la nitidez es buena y la calidad de audio es excelente. Obviamente no es un equipo high end, no se puede comparar con los amplificadores de bulbos de alta gama, pero si buscas un equipo high end, con buena relación precio/calidad es para ti. Te recomiendo usarlo con las mejores bocinas que pueda pagar tu bolsillo. Vale la pena.

Very happy with this amp the sound is warm and distinct, no problems worth worrying about for what this amp costs.I have no issue of the amp not having a remote control, after all if you are playing a vinyl , then you will be constantly up and down to change records, and guess what, getting off your backside occasionally, you may even loose a few pounds.

Fantastic receiver! Love the old school vacuum tubes. Looks great, simple, very powerful (I got the 200 Watt version), and glad I did. The bluetooth connectivity is effective but not as great as other receivers. I have an optical line that runs from TV to the receiver, and playing music this way is far more clear and louder than the bluetooth.Music sounds incredible and warm, and is improving more and more as times passes. Have it paired with a pair of Triangle Borea BR03 speakers and the receiver really enables the sounds to shine.Took one star off for the GARBAGE remote! Honestly, for $399, I agree with other reviews that the remote could be much much better.Still, highly recommend the receiver!

Híbrido muy logrado: válvulas con cuerpo, potencia clase AB con control

El Dayton HTA200 me sorprendió. El sonido es cálido, detallado y muy agradable, especialmente en voces e instrumentos. Además, está muy bien construido y luce increíble encendido. Por el precio, ofrece carácter y musicalidad que no se encuentran en amplificadores digitales comunes. Muy recomendado para quien quiera disfrutar la música con sensación más orgánica y natural.
