Headphone amplifiers represent a niche but growing audiophile market, delivering precise and dynamic audio reproduction for all headphone brands. The new McIntosh MHA200 2-Channel Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier 75th Anniversary Edition arguably represents the concept’s pinnacle, winning multiple awards from the leading industry publications.

Building on the previously released standard unit, the McIntosh MHA200 2-Channel Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier 75th Anniversary Edition delivers four selectable impedance ranges and a host of connectivity options for your headphones of choice. Presenting an accurate and balanced stereo through dedicated left and right outputs, it’s a compact tube amplifier that recalls the timeless MC275 and the more recent MC1502.

Utilizing 12AT7 vacuum tubes to amplify the incoming audio signals and powerful 12BH7A tubes driving output, the McIntosh MHA200 2-Channel Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier minimizes distortion. It also marshals the Unity Coupled Circuit technology first developed by the brand in 1949 to mark the anniversary.

It’s also exceptionally small, measuring just 6-1/8″ wide x 9-1/8″ deep, making it easy to move close to the user’s listening space using long balanced audio cables. The end result is a custom-designed tube amplifier for headphones that What HiFi? described as capable of delivering power and punch without sacrificing subtlety or micro dynamics.

With the first 75 units to be signed by McIntosh President Charlie Randall, the MHA200 2-Channel Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier 75th Anniversary Edition is a fitting tribute to the company’s prestige and commitment to excellence.
