The iBasso PB5 Osprey is a new portable headphone amplifier powered by miniature Japanese Nutube 6P1 tubes from Korg.
TWO NUTUBE 6P1 TUBE TUBE
Manufactured by KORG and Noritake, the 6th Generation Nutube operates exactly like conventional triode vacuum tubes and produces the same characteristic rich overtones that are loved in triode tubes. Voltage amplification is achieved using Nutube, resulting in an exciting and distinctive vacuum tube sound while maintaining exceptional linearity.
CLEAN POWER SOURCE
The PB5 uses six batteries to create a reliable power system. Nutubes are powered by 2 batteries and the remaining 4 batteries provide power to the secondary amplifier. With an efficient and clean power supply, you get immersive and crystal clear sound.
