In the ‘magic of tubes’ listening stakes, the iTube2 offers the listener the choice of different key sonic signatures: – a Single-Ended Triode power amplifier; – a Push-Pull tube power amplifier; – a classic tube amplifier.
Just to note from the iFi team – there is no ‘right’ setting. We advise you to set according to your systems synergy and your listening preferences.
XBass+® for Speakers is quite different from its sister technology XBass+® for Headphones. The only similarity is in philosophy as the ability to enhance your Speaker listening is quite different to enhancing Headphone listening. The former gives each and every audio system adjustable levels of bass control to enhance listening enjoyment through speakers that have a limited bass extension. We have taken great care to ensure no degradation in sound quality occurs. 20 Hz (6dB): For speakers missing only the lowest bass notes (below 40Hz). 20 Hz (12dB): For speakers missing some bass notes (below 80Hz). OFF: XBass+ switched out.
The latest 3D Holographic+ matrix for Speakers offers something quite special. It takes high-end systems to another level of performance. It was drawn from the original ground-breaking work of Alan Blumlein, the ‘father of stereo.’Firstly, it corrects the fundamental spatial distortion in recordings. And secondly, it increases the width of the soundstage beyond that of the speaker placement. 30˚+ This matrix adds an extra 30˚ to redress the narrow placement of speakers (eg either side of a PC monitor). + This matrix recreates original ‘width’ of the soundstage and is the recommended DEFAULT setting. Off 3D+ switched out.
The iTube2, in-line with the latest iFi products, is ‘Direct-Coupled.’ This means no output coupling capacitor for the purest, most direct signal path.
The iTube2 employs Japan TDK C0G type capacitors. These are complemented by Japan Panasonic ECPU Film Capacitors explicitly designed for audio use with extremely low distortion (<0.00001% @ 1V/10kHz). The iTube 2 also uses ELNA SIlmic capacitors. These and other parts are only found in components with an extra ‘0’ to the price.
The proof is in the listening. The best tube buffer/pre-amp out there just pulled even further ahead.
