The A10 is fully future-proof and easy to use. Although its classic design remains timeless, it combines an ECC81/12AT7 tube preamplifier with a 2x130W class AB push-pull amplifier. In short, the best of both worlds!
Modernity is also displayed thanks to a microprocessor which manages all the functions called up by the encoder wheel, a long or short press gives access to the menus.
We can scroll through the inputs: 6 analog on RCA with an MM phono with three capacity settings (100, 200, 320 pf), a balanced line on XLR, 5 digital including 3 optical, an S / PDIF and an audio USB, plus a connector for an aptX XFTB01 or XFTB02 bluetooth receiver (optional).

A USB-A socket accepts MP3 audio files from a walkman or USB key. Originality: two HDMI sockets, including one for a DVD in order to benefit from the audio signal quality of the A10 and an HDMI ARC to connect a CEC protocol screen, can be activated in the system configuration menu.
Here are also shown information on the system, the selection of loudspeakers (A, B or A+B), the setting of loudness, bass, treble or bypass, the auto standby (or not) spread out from 5 to 90 mins.
The trigger In/Out input controls the switching on and off of the A10 remotely, or from it to another device connected by the mini-jacks.
The A10 offers the option of connecting two subwoofers and outputting the modulation separately to the preamp or amplifier.
A fixed Rec Out output is intended for a cassette player, MD or other type recorder.
At the rear, the High Bias switch activates Class A bias on the first few watts of the power stage.
