The past few years has seen a growing interest in valve amplifiers from music lovers all around the world. This has been partly due to the clinical harsh sound of some CD players, which can often sound smoother and more musical when played through a valve amplifier.


Until the CVT 3030as, valve amplifiers have been very expensive and therefore only available to a privileged number of audiophiles. High prices have been due to limited production and the fact that most models are expensively engineered. To add pride of ownership which is great if you can afford the luxury. The CVT 3030as, for the first time, brings valve quality sound within the budget of almost every music lover. Designed by Peter Bath in the UK, a renowned audio engineer and manufactured by the IEEE Group, this remarkable component is the world's most competitively priced valve amplifier. This has only been achieved by using the most advanced and sophisticated manufacturing techniques available.


The CVT 3030as features 4 EL34 valves, 3 massive transformers, 2 silent fans, gold plated inputs for Phono, Tape, DAT, CD, Tuner, Video, AUX, large high quality gold plated speaker binding posts, and all housed in a substantial metal chassis, weighing almost 12 Kgs.


CVT 3030as is an upgraded model of CVT 3030 with higher grade of components and capability to replace phono module to DAT module.
