META WAVE proudly hosted the world premiere of hARt Lab’s highly anticipated integrated amplifier, the Tune Six, at the prestigious AUDIO CONCEPT store in Stockholm, Sweden. This launch marks a significant milestone for both companies, showcasing cutting-edge audio technology and innovative design.
A Journey from Munich to Stockholm
The journey to the Tune Six’s debut began at the 2024 High-End Audio show in Munich, where Joel Siljeskog of META WAVE first experienced the remarkable Tune Two and Tune Three pre-power amplifier set. Captivated by the prototypes of the forthcoming Tune Six, he was inspired to collaborate with hARt Lab. Further demonstrations in his showroom in Gothenburg solidified his decision to invest in this groundbreaking integrated amplifier, which was unveiled for the first time in the heart of Sweden.
Introducing the Tune Six
The hARt Tune Six represents the first integrated amplifier from hARt Lab, combining advanced audio technology with user-friendly features. The amplifier includes a vacuum tube preamplifier stage, a hybrid tube/MOSFET power amplifier stage, a built-in Streamer, and a headphone amplifier. Additionally, customers can opt for a built-in DAC equipped with coaxial and optical inputs, as well as a dedicated phono stage for both MM and MC inputs.
Designed by Kostas Trovas of hARt Lab, the Tune Six employs a unique two-stage hybrid circuit that seamlessly merges tube and solid-state technologies. This innovative approach allows for extraordinary audio performance, free from feedback-induced timing distortion, transformers in the signal path, unnecessary coupling stages, and fragile power tubes. True to its motto—“Sound without frontiers, tubes without tears”—the Tune Six promises a superior listening experience.
META WAVE: Bridging Audiophiles to Excellence
As the official distributor of hARt Lab in Sweden, META WAVE is committed to bringing high-quality audio solutions to local enthusiasts.
