Leverage Akiko Audio’s expertise in high-frequency noise reduction with the Loudspeaker Improvers, the latest addition to their reference series. Designed to optimize the playback quality of your passive speakers, they provide a noticeable boost to the sound at the final stage of your signal path.
The Loudspeaker Improver preserves your speaker’s natural balance while enhancing its sound signature.

The Loudspeaker Improvers work seamlessly with our other premium tuning products like the Triple AC, Castello Ground Conditioner, and Power Conditioner Corelli to elevate each other’s effects.
Crafted with Akiko’s proprietary mineral mix infused with gold and redesigned with an advanced wiring scheme, the Loudspeaker Improvers are stabilized with black resin to eliminate microphonic interference. The benefits are proven through rigorous measurements, as they effectively reduce high-frequency noise and deliver a smoother, more enjoyable sound across the audio spectrum.

Product Description
Note: We have one new EAR HP4 Tube Headphone Amp in stock as of November 2022. EAR makes only one headphone amp model and the HP4 is one of the best in the world. These units take up to 120 days to deliver but we have this one ready to ship immediately from the USA; please call to make sure it’s still available.
Jaguar is proud to offer EAR electronics, known for crafting some of the most musical and refined tube gear available. While many high-end tube amplifier brands exist, often priced far higher than EAR, we focus on amplifiers like EAR and Lamm — products from visionary designers that stand apart as truly unique and exceptional.
The EAR HP4 Headphone Amplifier is regarded as one of the finest in its class. Using four 6SL7 valves matched to a high-quality load through precision transformers, it delivers nearly 1 watt of clean, low-distortion power into both high and low-impedance headphones. The Enhanced Triode Mode circuit, inspired by the acclaimed V20 and 859 integrated amplifiers, ensures stunning audio performance, while the input stage is transformer-coupled for the flexibility to accept both balanced and unbalanced signals from your preamplifier.
Designed for ease of use, the HP4 features an integrated volume control, allowing for direct headphone or loudspeaker listening. Input signals can be independently switched, offering versatility in your audio setup. Built for durability, EAR’s HP4 is engineered to last with an expected valve life of over 10,000 hours.
With the ability to connect up to four pairs of headphones, the HP4 offers Low/High Impedance and Balanced/Single-Ended operation options, ensuring compatibility with virtually any headphone in your collection.

Many of his creations are still highly coveted by audiophiles, with their enduring appeal and unmatched performance.
Beyond consumer audio, Tim de Paravicini has made groundbreaking contributions to professional recording and mastering.
