Elekit Tube Amp
Koichi Futatsumata, a Japanese designer and founder of Case-Real studio, was commissioned by electronics manufacturer EK Japan Co., Ltd. (Fukuoka, Japan) to design an amplifier that will appeal to a younger age bracket. After months at the drawing board, Futatsumata created the Elekit Tube Amp, a vacuum tube hybrid stereo amplifier. Featuring two front-mounted aluminum dials, a low 10 x 10 watt output, tone control stage, typical input and output jacks, the simple and elegant Elekit Tube Amp will no doubt attract many audio enthusiasts.
