Integrated amplifiers — Canor Audio TP101 A30

The TP101 A30 is a distinctive tube integrated amplifier from Canor Audio, built with a wide top-end extension and a comparatively low damping factor typical of tube-informed design. The TP101 A30 brings Canor's most storied engineering heritage to a substantial tube integrated chassis.

Key specs that matter

Input sensitivity is 380mV, with input impedance at 30 ohms single-ended. Output power is 2 x 35W into both 8 and 4 ohms - a modest, characterful tube-amplifier figure. Gain is 33dB at 8 ohms. Frequency response spans a wide 18Hz to 55,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 96dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.025% at 8 ohms. Damping factor is a comparatively low 6.5 at 4 ohms - a specification approach typical of tube-informed designs prioritising harmonic character over damping. At 450 x 185 x 390mm and 23kg, the TP101 A30 represents a substantial commitment reflecting Canor's most storied tube-informed engineering heritage.

Sound and use context

Expect the warm, richly textured character tube amplification is broadly celebrated for, with the wide 18Hz-55kHz bandwidth combined with the strong over-96dB signal-to-noise figure.
