TRIODE - Luminous 84 - PP EL84 Stereo Tube Amplifier

Triode, the Japanese brand specialising in the design and manufacture of tube amplifiers, has just released its new entry-level model, the Luminous 84.

Despite its entry-level status, this little technological gem is not lacking in charm and sophistication.

The creators of Triode Corporation, led by Juni-ichi Yamazaki, have sought to embody the Japanese culture of 'shokunin' and their dedication to the art of perfection. This new amplifier is proof of their success.

The Luminous 84 is a Class AB Push-Pull integrated amplifier that uses 4 EL84 and 3 12AU7 power valves to guarantee an output of 11 Watts per channel over 8 ohms. It is also equipped with a phono stage and a quality headphone amplifier with 6.3 mm jack and automatic polarisation adjustment.

The aesthetics of the cabinet are just as meticulous as the internal design. The removable grille that protects the valves adds a touch of elegance to the whole. The Luminous 84 is an ideal choice for music lovers looking for a quality amplifier at an affordable price.
