Trots purfärsk på marknaden är det en redan prisad förstärkare med mycket fina utmärkelser i bagaget. En påkostad förstärkare för puristen som kombinerar kraft med den organiska klangen av rör.
HTA-1200 is a 80W/8ohm high-fidelity hybrid integrated amplifier utilizing a 12AX7 tube preamp section with a cathode type amp circuit and a 12AU7 stage serving as a buffer amplifier, 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 and precise high voltage transistor hybrid power supply provide voltage stability and very low AC ripple current. It reflects in a more natural and fresh sound with deep multidimensional soundstage.
High-power toroidal 300W transformer provides constant and immediately-available energy at any volume level.
High-power transistors utilized in the 0dB current amplification circuit reveal more content of the music, giving extra pure energy and dynamics to drive even very demanding and powerful speakers.
The tube circuit cross-connected with audiophile grade MKP capacitors ensures stable playback improving music tone and sound field depth.
Audiophile grade ALPS volume potentiometer provides minimal noises and channels crosstalk and has excellent operational feel and limits errors between the two channels.
The high-end class, gold-plated speaker terminals offer almost lossless audio signal transmission to speakers.
Analog inputs with high-end solid machined brass RCA sockets can accommodate up to 4 stereo devices including a turntable (both MM and MC cartridges) 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 we equipped the HTA-1200 with a high-end headphone preamplifier.
The preamplifier output is dedicated for an optional external power amplifier or powered subwoofer and speakers.
"SHOCK" award!
REVELATION
“If Poland's position is not yet established among the great countries famous for high fidelity, it has long been one of the great musical nations.
Therefore we are not surprised that we are offered the restitution of all the beauty. The beauty of timbre, colors, structure. Undoubtedly the tubes have their share in the creamy sound texture, which is not sloppy, it is consistent, but not too meaty.
Similarly, the transistors supported by a toroidal transformer e provide energy with confidence (influencing orchestral tutti, firmness of piano attacks, sharpness of the drums) and clarity. The musical message in a three dimensional space is characterized by great stability and remains constantly readable regardless of the size and volume of the sound. The voices ring with thrilling realism and get out of the narrow speakers frame. Revelation”
"More successful than the hybrid Rogue Audio Sphynx V2, Taga stands out with its silky sound, but can also shine in the upper sound spectrum. Although the rhythms are not as clear as in Roksan or Cyrus, there is no lack of precision. The sound and musical consistency of this model remains indisputable."
Pros
Pleasant and precise sound.
Weak points
Little.

Power of the transistor, glare of the tube
“…this tube-like style of playing predominates a little in the way the amplifier sounds, accompanied by a subtle hint of warmth, smoothness and finesse in finishing the most delicate nuances… the range of low frequencies is treated as a priority and it has the desired punching power, I would say that it is heading towards contouring, vividness and greater finesse than the laboratory exaltation of individual sounds.
Taga Harmony is supposed to give us more pleasure in listening rather than analyzing and penetrating the nature of details, and this is one of the reasons I would address this amplifier to fans of wide and vivid sound, who consider an audio system as a way to relax with music. On the other hand, the HTA-1200 end stages are enough efficient so that this hybrid amplifier does not have a slightest problem with showing the dynamic nature of each sound, especially in the macro scale...
Taga Harmony also looks good from the side of reproduction of stereophony, this amplifier is drawing a wide and vast spatial image in front of the listener with a quite decently presented depth of the sound stage...
Taga Harmony can very nicely reproduce the size of the various instruments on the stage, and this is already the domain of much more expensive amplification…”
Verdict
“Pros The making quality deserves the highest score, typical for the best constructions in a similar price range. The spatial sound, surrounding the listener with subtle warmth and sweetness of tubes, but also powerful and defined, especially in the bass and in the insightful revealing of the dynamic nature of almost any musical material”
