Two Neutrik 6.3mm single ended jacks cater for low impedance and high impedance headphone, respective. One balanced Neutrik 4-Pin jack for the convenience to use with balanced headphone.

UK-Made AMPLIMO transformer, genuine premium parts sourced from legit distributors, i.e. RS-Component/Mouser/DigiKey/Farnel, can be found in the THR-1. Not only does the components guaranteed the longevity of the products, but also guaranteed the sound quality consistency in long run.

Sound characteristic:

Neutral sound reproduction, balance across all frequency with little or no coloration was the characteristic of THR-1. The oversize EXICON MOSFET Output Transistors provide strong control, micro-dynamic, micro-contrast and excellent drives. This is especially so even on the hard-to-drive AKG K1000, THR-1 handles the music reproduction with K1000 exceptionally well.
