"Simply silly brilliant." -Srajan Ebaen, 6Moons.com

"What do I like about the GLOW Amp One? Pretty much everything. Quite simply I have never heard my recordings sound more real... on old familiar vinyl I experienced a kind of presence that was downright spooky. The GLOW Amp One is a Hi Fi epiphany."

-Dr. Jeff Rabin, EnjoytheMusic.com

 

 

 

"Smart, small and eye-catching design with a sweet, open sound and plenty of detail...

...a fine effort from GLOW Audio"  

 

"The Amp One from GLOW Audio is an amazing feat. I've never seen point to point wiring at this price.

The amp is a solidly constructed piece of equipment weighing in at around 20 lbs. And oh yes, the sound is gorgeous.

The single-ended design eliminates the crossover distortion that hampers many tube amplifiers at this price range.

The amp put out a pleasing and rich sound on Paradigm Mini Monitors and Polk Lsi9 bookshelf speakers.

With Sennheiser HD600 and AKG 702 headphones ... the Amp One is also the best tube headphone amplifier I've heard."

-Derek Brooks, The Audiophile Journal

The GLOW Amp One is a classic stereo tube amplifier design, with a twist - every GLOW amplifier has the option of being connected to your computer via the GLOW Audio DAC 1.3, a plug and play device designed to give you audiophile grade sound quality from any computer.

(Note: For a limited time, the GLOW Audio DAC 1.3 is being provided at no additional charge with the purchase of the GLOW Amp One.)

The Amp One has the smooth, silky and detailed sound for which good single ended tube amps are famous. If you have never heard a high quality tube amplifier, prepare to be startled by the subtle musical details the amp reveals. By design, single ended tube amps are low power, with high resolution.

You can also stream your music to the GLOW Amp One from your smart phone or tablet via blue tooth, or plug in an Amazon Dot or Sonos system  ..... regardless of the input source, be prepared to be amazed with the breathtaking realism provided by this high quality single ended tube amplifier.
