Amplifier
“The Universal”
audioCulture developed the compact tube integrated amplifier “The Universal” for headphones and high-efficiency speakers (e.g., horn speakers). “The Universal” features three switchable inputs, providing ample connections for your playback devices. It is universally compatible with any additional devices such as streamers, CD players, and phono preamplifiers (The Phono).
In the timeless design of audioCulture, “The Universal” seamlessly integrates into the tube amplifier product line.

Exceptional Sound Experience Due to Low Noise
Every component introduces sound coloration. That’s why colorations are significantly minimized when fewer components are used and when they are of higher quality. Through collaboration with many German manufacturers, we can access particularly high-quality components.
For the exceptional listening experience, reducing noise is also crucial. ‘The Universal’ employs motor-controlled sliders and low-noise broadband transformers. The circuit board has a double copper layer with gold-plated traces. This allows for an exceptionally powerful sound profile and ensures long-lasting, uniform sound transmission by preventing copper layer oxidation. Furthermore, long-term stable audiophile capacitors and the proprietary integrated power supply enable decades of consistent musical enjoyment.
Why Do I Need a Headphone Amplifier?
In most playback devices, headphone outputs are already available. From a circuitry perspective, this output is often treated somewhat neglectfully. This results in the music not being able to express its pure sound fully. To still bring your favorite songs to life, a tube headphone amplifier is the top choice. It excels at reproducing music with exceptional precision, thanks to its high-quality and minimal components. As a result, it produces a sound quality that you cannot achieve with built-in headphone outputs.
