The ALO audio Continental was designed to bring the highest aim of tube amplification - accurate and open musical presentation - to a portable, hand-held device. This aim has been achieved by paying close attention to the basic function of the device, while keeping the operation as simple and easy as possible.
The Continental incorporates a tube voltage gain section followed by a discrete transistor current output stage to drive headphones. The Raytheon 6111 New Old Stock (NOS) tubes are rare and hard to find we will only make a limited run of these amazing portable tube amplifiers using this tube.
Comes with 100v - 240v-switching charger with LED indicator, 3 ALO silicone amp straps, box and manual.

"I’ve spent a few weeks now with the Continental, and I can tell you outright that it is perhaps the best sounding portable amplifier that I’ve listened to." (Version 1 Review)
"One of the most soothing, beautiful sounding portable amps out there. With 7-8 hours of battery life, you can forgo the mains for your home rig, and pack in an entire day (or night) of music loving. For headphone users, I consider it a must-have amp. Fit it in your bedside rig, your HiFi, your TV rig – anything. Because it really can sing."
