Like its big brother the HTA-1200, the HTA-800 has already collected many awards. Good sound doesn't have to cost the earth!

Demo that has been on loan while waiting for another amplifier. Good condition and full warranty.

HTA-800 Hybrid Amplifier with MM Phono and 24bit DAC

Premium Hybrid Power!

HTA-800 is a 50W / 8ohm high-fidelity but still affordable hybrid integrated amplifier utilizing two 6N3 tubes in the preamp section and four Toshiba transistors at the output.

This solution ensures a very warm, linear and lifelike sound with high dynamic presentation at the same time.

High-performance tubes, high-power shielded toroidal 200W transformer provides stable, constant and immediately-available energy at any volume level.


The audiophile grade ALPS volume potentiometer ensures minimal noises and channels crosstalk and has excellent operational feel and limits errors between the two channels.

The audiophile grade WIMA capacitors ensures stable playback improving music tone and sound field depth.

The high-end class, gold-plated speaker terminals offer almost lossless audio signal transmission to the speakers.

Analog inputs with high-end solid machined brass RCA sockets can accommodate up to 4 stereo devices including a turntable (MM cartridge) so you can enjoy music from your favorite vinyl records.

You can connect a range of digital devices via optical or coaxial inputs and a built-in premium high-resolution 24bit / 192kHz DAC will always provide the best sound performance.

For those who prefer discrete listening TAGA Harmony is equipped the HTA-800 with a high-fidelity headphone preamplifier.

Preamplifier output is dedicated for an optional external power amplifier or powered subwoofer and speakers.

The removable IEC power cable gives an option to upgrade your system with a premium audiophile power cable in any time.

The HTA-800 combines the analog sound of tubes with the power of transistors to give the best sound at the price!


"...However the HTA-800 sound is saturated with colors of tube amplification which combined with a quite high power gives a truly unique result; only expensive vacuum tube amplifiers sound in a similar way...
There are no restraints or inconsistencies here. Even the bass is like in the tube amplifier - spacious, soft, warm, avoiding strong impacts, but maintaining good selectivity; the strikes in double bass strings do not merge with each other, the upper range (of bass) sound does not drown in any rumble, the thickness is moderate, although it provides necessary mass..."


Summary
Sound

" Full, free and at the same time soft and gentle, even at higher volume levels. The goal was to provide plenty of watts and in addition with a tube-like sound - and it is so."

EXCEPTIONAL, HIGHLIGHT (TOP CLASS) "Sense of rhythm"

"The Taga hybrid amplifier masters the floorstanding loudspeakers with flying colors and delivers clear and rich performance. Thanks to a good control of the bass and silky mids the HTA-800 plays on a remarkably high level and lets acoustic instruments tune in and sound with realistic timbre."

Conclusion

"With the best-in-class processing quality and rich connection diversity for analogue and digital sources the HTA-800 hybrid amplifier from Taga is an ideal matching partner for any hi-fi system.
Its pre-amp tubes provide warm sound, while a classic transistor circuit delivers powerful dynamics and performance.
The HTA-800 looks great and for around 650 Euros is a real recommendation!"

Pleasant sound

"...There is a subtle hint of warmth and sweetness characteristic for the valve amplification - it is thanks to basic 6N3 tubes working in the preamp section.On the other hand Toshiba transistors along with a solid power supply are able to control sounds in the lower registers what I especially liked when listening to electronic and rock music.


Attention is drawn by solid bass with mass and depth corresponding to amplifiers offering much more watts than a number the HTA-800 reaches, which is its advantage. Honestly speaking the levels of volume which I was able to reach in a room bigger than 30 sqm were close to those offered by Hegel H-80 and it is much more efficient amplifier than the HTA-800...


TAGA Harmony is gently moving toward more relaxing sound - it has its charm as some songs which may sound too aggressive become in some sense "civilized" and have more accepted message. The HTA-800 offers the sound which is tonally balanced without dominating any frequency over the others - the owners of smooth sounding speakers by adding this amplifier would be able to build a neutral sounding system in which music is on the first place rather than technical complexities..."

Verdict
"Pros: Solidly built, based on decent components, including an efficient toroidal transformer and quite large capacitors for power storage.
The sound full of vigor with impeccable dynamics on a micro scale. Controlled and defined bass.
The malleable and musical sound with a delicate hint of warmth and sweetness."

Buy&Try applies to the entire Aune, Auralic, Quadral, Sbooster & Taga range.

Buy & try gives you as a customer the opportunity to try out the product in your own home environment, instead of standing in a stressful store and trying to form an opinion. Rooms behave very differently and affect the sound in different ways and we give you the opportunity to demo the product for a full 30 days, in your own home.

Regarding speakers, be aware that speakers may need a long recording time to come into their own. After a couple of hours you can usually get a taste of what to expect, but a speaker deserves 100h+ before serious listening. The speakers we sell with ribbon tweeters need several hundred hours before they start to sing. So feel free to leave the speakers on around the clock so you can quickly accumulate hours.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.
