The new Black Ice Audio F35 is a state-of-the-art stereo tube integrated amplifier sporting a new breakthrough circuit design by Jim Fosgate - that includes touch sensors, LEDs, and a look that wants attention.
The dual chassis design is laced with carbon fiber and mirror-finished glass panels decked out with LED back lit touch sensors, that provide a rigid home for the one of the newest circuits to date.
The Odyssey Circuit, designed in 2015, is a dual phase V drive circuit. With El34 power tubes, it pumps out 60 watts of pure tube magic. Silky smooth and emotional, the days of the smoke filled, low light jazz clubs are making a come back.
Using the Exact Biasing Vu meter, changing over to the 6550/KT88 power tubes is a breeze and the F35 becomes 70 watts of dynamic force to rock any room.
When it’s time for the neighbours and the kids to go to bed, the fun doesn’t stop. Plug in your headphones and press the headphone button to move your music from your room to your own personal space.
