The Neuhaus Laboratories T-2 Amplifier is built to last. Typically, most big name audio components are mass-produced, primarily of plastic components and are often large in size and difficult to set up and operate. Have you noticed how many buttons and switches they have. The rear connector panel has so many inputs even Einstein would be intimidated. The T-2 Amplifier has an elegant retro look and is built to last with a sturdy steel and stainless steel body, not plastic. Even the knobs are of high quality produced in Japan. It is engineered to provide a long life, and is simple to set up and to operate.
- The T-2 Amplifier has a beautiful black high gloss piano finish on the front steel panel and the transformer covers. The body is a mirror finish stainless steel. The tube cover is flat black with clear polycarbonate side panels.
- Gold plated input jacks (3) and speaker connectors.
- Slow Start Power On Switch-This feature extends the life of the components and the tubes by powering up slowly (about 15 Seconds) every time you turn it on.

Has anyone tried using this amp? Seems like a great idea to have the digital inputs since most people store all their music on their computers these days. At $795 you would definitely be getting a good value, most tube amps I’ve seen go for a few thousand.
I got a chance to hear this amp and it sounds amazing, especially with the High Def music. It had great tone and was crisp with my Jazz music. I would recommend.
Thanks Jim for letting us know. Could you compare it to anything? $795 for a high def tube amp with digital inputs does seem like an amazing deal.
Adam, I would say it compares well with the decco/nova by peachtree but had more of a warm tone from the tubes.
