DS Audio TB 100 phono stage

The DS Audio TB 100 Phono Stage marks a new era of analog audio. Combining vacuum tube technology with optical cartridges, it offers an immersive and transparent listening experience. Designed for audiophiles, the TB-100 delivers rich, dynamic sound quality that stays true to your music.

Pure vacuum tube amplifier

The TB-100 uses carefully selected, quad-matched ECC82 (12AU7) tubes. These tubes are optimized to minimize performance variations, ensuring peak performance at all times. Each channel has an inner tube for voltage amplification and an outer tube for output buffering. As a result, the TB-100 delivers a smooth and transparent sound with excellent detail. Its two-stage amplification circuit, combined with low-impedance cathode follower output stages, creates a pure, dynamic audio experience.

Wideband transformer input

Thanks to its wideband transformer input, the TB-100 accurately converts the audio signal from the PD (photo detector) into a current-voltage signal. This ensures precise phase alignment between the left and right channels. The result is clear, high-quality sound with a flat frequency response from 10Hz to 70kHz, with only a -1dB drop. This broad frequency response captures every nuance of your music.

Twin mono structure

The TB-100 adopts a symmetric twin-mono configuration. This means it has completely independent grounds and power transformers for each channel. Consequently, this design eliminates crosstalk between the left and right channels, resulting in a cleaner, more immersive soundstage. It allows every detail in the music to be heard clearly, without interference.

Low-noise, low-voltage power supply

To ensure stable and clean power, the TB-100 includes a dedicated low-noise regulated power supply. This power supply is responsible for both LED power and the PD negative bias voltage. It features separate power circuits and transformers for each PD, which results in greater voltage stability. In turn, this ensures superior performance and minimized distortion.

Key features:

• Pure vacuum tube amplifier: Quad-matched ECC82 tubes deliver a rich, transparent sound.
• Wideband transformer input: Ensures precise phase alignment for clear and high-quality sound.
• Twin mono structure: Independent grounds and power transformers eliminate crosstalk for a cleaner sound.
• Low-noise power supply: Dedicated power circuits ensure stable, distortion-free performance.

Experience the DS Audio TB 100 Phono Stage for yourself and bring your analog setup to life with rich, detailed sound. Whether you’re upgrading your existing system or seeking pure analog performance, the TB-100 delivers uncompromised audio quality for the ultimate listening experience.
