With 150W class AB power in 8 Ohms, a damping factor of 4000, and a large toroidal transformer paired with high-quality output transistors, this amplifier delivers power and precision in equal measure. A dedicated and improved power supply for the preamp and DAC section creates a pitch-black background ensuring that the focus remains on the music, where every nuance is delivered with precision and control. H190v offers a taste of high-end sophistication at a sensible price. By incorporating a state-of-the-art phono preamplifier into H190v, users can connect turntables with MM cartridges directly to the amplifier. The phono input is a scaled-down version of our highly acclaimed V10 phono preamplifier, delivering a detailed, expansive, and powerful sound that breathes new life into any vinyl collection. For those who appreciate a personal listening experience, H190v boasts a 6.3mm headphone output with a high-quality dedicated headphone amplifier. Capable of driving even the most demanding headphones, this feature ensures that every nuance of your music is faithfully reproduced. The inclusion of a comprehensive list of streaming options further enhances the amplifier’s versatility.

The H190v is highly customizable to ensure it suits any environment. The volume can be limited so that it suits your max volume preference. With our remote-control feature, you can program the amplifier to be commanded by common TV remotes, eliminating the need for using two remotes and making it easier for all household members to get great TV sound. Most inputs can also be set as a fixed high-level Home Theater input, making it easy to combine H190v with surround receivers or multi-room devices. For more advanced users, H190v also features IP control for smart home integration with brands like Control4, Crestron, and Savant.
