Testimonials
"The HP8 just flows like a gentle breeze on a summer day, never forceful but always welcome and refreshing. The sound quality is simply beguiling, with all the stereotypical benefits of a single ended triode design and very few of the drawbacks...."
– John Grandberg, Inner Fidelity
Overview
Icon Audio's Pure-Valve HP8 MKII supplies any pair of Headphones with all the necessary power and even-order sonics delivering smoothness, detail, warmth, and fluidity.
Essentially a miniature pure-valve high-fidelity amplifier, the HP8 MkII possesses a custom-wound multi-tap output transformer to ensure perfect matching to virtually any headphone load. The first stage gain uses a 12AX7, renowned for its smoothness, detail, and fluidity. It serves as the ideal complement to the CV181 or 6SN7, the finest hi-fi valves ever created. If it's musical insight and dynamics you want, you'll have them in spades.
Like all Icon products, HP8 MkII is entirely point-to-point hand-wired and contains no printed circuit boards or transistors, which degrade valve performance and color the signals. It's all in the service of ensuring that you're hearing music in the finest-possible sound. In striving to attain the same goal, silver Teflon audio cable, gold-plated terminals, all-Triode circuit, and an ALPS volume pot are also utilized for optimum purity.
Icon Audio gear is engineered in the UK and manufactured in China, with final assembly and checking done in the UK.
