The "tube" sound
Tube preamplification brings warmth and richness, often compared to the smoothness of vinyl, while the transistor output stage delivers control and dynamics.

A built-in RIAA phono stage for MM cartridges lets you connect a turntable directly.
Home theatre friendly
Amp-in inputs let the A10 Apex power your front speakers within a home theatre system, and the HDMI eARC input makes TV connection simple.
