What's unique about the brand

Aric Audio is a boutique tube amplifier brand that hand-builds each unit with unique circuit designs, including their Super KT Push-Pull Monoblock Amplifiers that let users switch between ultra-linear and triode modes. Their amplifiers feature distinctive engineering choices, such as interstage transformers in their 300B SET models to eliminate the typical syrupy sound, and the ability to switch between single-ended and parallel single-ended modes to double power output.
