ampsandsound

Ampsandsound is an American audio brand founded by Justin Weber and based in Southern California, where every amplifier is handmade using the company's own hand wound output, input, and power transformers. The lineup spans headphone amplifiers, two channel power amplifiers, preamplifiers, and speakers, with the Nautilus, Red October, and Kenzie lines among the brand's best known headphone amps. Ampsandsound builds its transformers to handle far more power than each circuit calls for, a philosophy the company credits for lower distortion and amplifiers built to be repaired and enjoyed for decades.
