Valve Audio is one of the most respected names in valve amplification and our products are designed and produced in South Africa.
The Whisper, Valve Audio’s phono pre-amplifier, is ready and in production. Hear what you have been missing.
Amplifier design and manufacture are we do and is our only focus.
Own the ultimate in valve amplification. The Genesis far supersedes any other Valve Audio product. A state of the art 1 kilowatt mono amplifier.
The Genesis power amplifier is a balanced bridge design utilising both the 6922 and 6H30 valves in classic differential configuration driving 48 output mosfet transistors. The Genesis is also available in seperate chassis mono construction but on special order only. This is a unit for those who require ultimate power and control.

The phono stage is often the most overlooked item in a stereo system. The low output of just about any moving coil cartridge requires low ground noise and this in turn requires a lot of gain. Why not just step up the gain then? Well, it’s not that easy. But Valve Audio’s new Whisper, provides lots of gain without increasing the noise floor. Selectable impedance loading allow a variety of options and combinations to suit any cartridge.

- Predator
Designed to meet the need for a high power integrated hybrid amplifier, the Predator provides state of the art signal processing using classic cathode follower and plate-loaded techniques with absolute minimal local feedback. Ultra high-speed rectifiers are used in a dual mono layout, sharing only the transformer. Plate-loading the driver stages offers high levels of transparency and detail.

- Exclame 100
Utilizing only one triode, in this execution of this plucky little amplifier, the valve is plate loaded directly by a dual pair of mosfets per channel. The power supply has also been redesigned around a new 300VA toroidal transformer and Valve Audio’s High Yield Rectification (HYR), and split power rails to both channels. This greatly enhances the dynamic capabilities of the amplifier.

Added now also is the use of microprocessor control as opposed to the logic control of the previous
models. This allows the use of remote control which is what most customers have asked for in a
follow-up model. Emulating all manual controls on the amplifier, the remote control also adds a mute
function and is available in the standard model as well as the all metal version for an added premium.
- BlackWidow Preamp
The Black Widow pre-amplifier is a single ended design utilising 4 x 6922 tubes. The input stage consists of a differential design with cathode follower output configured for 0v DC output, enabling no capacitive coupling to output.
