AIYIMA T1PRO Tube Preamp Amplifier Home Audio Preamplifier Mini Vacuum Pre Amp Receiver Bluetooth 5.1 QCC3040 APTX-HD With Bass Treble Tone Controls &12V Trigger Output

I have a pretty simple audio setup connected to my PC, consisting of a 6.1 creative surround sound speaker system for gaming, but also have the output connected to a cheap D class amplifier from Nobsound that cost me all of about £25 and hooked up to that are a pair of Mission M71 bookshelf speakers. For the price I paid, I have been well impressed with that little amplifier, but it doesn’t have any tone controls, so when offered the chance to test this little tube pre-amp, I was keen to give it a go. The T1 Pro is nice and compact at just 13cm x 11.5cm x 3.5cm (WxDxH) and with it’s all metal exterior, it feels really nice and solid. At the front you have 2 metal switches, with one being used to swap between power off, Bluetooth or RCA mode. The other lets you turn on the tone controls or to bypass them completely. You have 3 metal rotary knobs that are used to control bass, treble and volume – these all feel really nice to use with a smooth action that clicks into place as you turn them. On the top are 2 sockets for connecting the included tubes. These simply push into place and when powered on give off a nice blue glow. Around the back is where all of the connections are made, with an RF aerial socket, a reset hole for the Bluetooth connection, a pair of RCA inputs and RCA output, a 3.5mm AUX output, a 3.5mm 12v trigger to automatically switch on an amplifier and a 12v DC power socket. Finally, at the bottom are 4 nice silicone feet to stop the device from skating around your desk. ***** In The Box ***** 1 x T1 Pro 2 x 6186 Vacuum tubes 1 x BT Antennae 1 x 12v Mains Adapter 1 x User Manual 1 x AIYIMA Sticker ***** Conclusion ***** I will start off by saying that this is my first experience of using a tube pre-amp and the AIYIMA brand, so I have nothing to compare it against, but so far I am really impressed. The quality of the T1 Pro seems really good and I love that they have made the product customisable, by allowing the quick replacement of the OP amp chip and tubes. Having Bluetooth connectivity is a nice bonus, as you can quickly pair a smartphone for playback and I like that it supports the more efficient BT5.1 standard, along with support for AptX HD. Connecting the T1 Pro to my existing setup was really straight forward – I just needed to use a 3.5mm to RCA cable between the input ports and my PC and then an RCA to 3.5mm between the outputs and my Nobsound amp. This has given me the ability to adjust the bass and treble and has also given the sound a nicer, warmer tone. I have only used the pre-amp for around 15 hours so far, but I believe the sound will change as the time goes on and usually gets even better. I think the £79.99 asking price is pretty reasonable for what seems to be a good quality product and I shall look into swapping the cheap little Nobsound amp for the AIYIMA A70 to take advantage of the useful 12v trigger function.

A nice addition to my home cinema. Connects really well, with no issues at all. Smooth operation and a wonderful retro design. Amazing.

息子のオーディオ向けに、パワーアンプのA07Max 2台と共に、 プライムセールで実勢価格11000円強で購入。 このプリアンプ、ハイエンドオーディオよりも音が良かったです。 トーンコントロールも増強、減衰がハイエンドオーディオ製品の様な音質バランス。 真空管特有の甘美な音質が乗りつつ、鮮度の高い音が出たのは素晴らしいと思いました。 全体的な音質は、透明度が深く、奥行感、拡がりも申し分無い。 トリガーアウトが付いているので、対応パワーアンプならば電源連動出来るという便利な機能まである。 AUX INがあるが、この部分を使用するとボリュームコントロールが無効になる事には注意です。 また、内蔵されているBluetoothは半分オマケで若干高調波ノイズが混じり気味で本格使用には向かないと思います。 間に合わせで使用する分にはよいかと。 当方では別に用意していたAPTX対応のBluetoothレシーバーの方が音に厚みがありましたので、そちらを接続しています。 個人的には、Bluetoothレシーバー部とAUX入力を削って、2系統ライン入力が可能なものか同一デザインのライン入力セレクターが発売されたら申し分無いなと思います。 星5個は、機能よりも音質に感動して、この評価です。

J'ai acheté l'ensemble de la vidéo en plusieurs fois, très content du son et je suis un peu difficile, tout est très bien emballé, pas de casse, je vous recommande, j'écoute sur Qobuz avec le dac en USB sur des enceintes Kef.

A real bargain very good sound next to the Aiyima A07!!! Clear recommendation !

Easy set up and it sounds great. Much better sound stage and instrument separation is better. Hooked it up to bridged A07 Max amplifiers with no hassle. I upgraded the tubes with a pair of Riverstone Audio GE JAN 5654W tubes and it was a good improvement. The bluetooth connection was fast and easy. Glad I got this, it improved everything.

Excellent reproduction of streamed music.
