Kora TB 400 Integrated Amplifier
The Kora TB400 Integrated Amplifier embodies the brand’s philosophy of combining tube warmth with transistor power. The TB400 is, quite simply, the TB200’s big brother. More filtering, bigger transformers, more transistors.
At its heart lies the innovative SquareTube® operational amplifier, equipped with four triodes per channel. This unique design ensures that all amplification and signal control functions are handled by the SquareTube®, while complementary hyper-linear power transistors supply the necessary current to drive your speakers without coloring the signal. The result is an amplifier that maintains absolute phase accuracy, delivers extraordinary detail, and achieves natural dynamics with unmatched musicality.
By eliminating the limitations of traditional output transformers, the TB400 avoids phase shifts, poor coupling, and current restrictions. Its marriage of high-voltage tube smoothness and transistor-driven energy delivers a rich, stable, and precise performance, even under complex load conditions. With the TB400, music is experienced with both refinement and unrestrained power.
Square Tube Technology
The TB400 features Kora’s exclusive Square Tube Technology: all amplification and signal control happens in the tube stage, while complementary transistors simply supply the current your speakers need, without taking part in amplifying the signal. Kora is explicit that this is not the usual hybrid of a tube preamp feeding a solid-state power amp; it is a tube amplifier assisted by transistors. This design eliminates many of the compromises found in traditional tube or transistor circuits, offering the musicality of tubes with the current delivery to drive demanding speakers.
