About the Hurricane DT
The Antique Sound Labs Hurricane DT is a tube monoblock power amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking robust and high-fidelity amplification. Each monoblock weighs approximately 70 pounds and measures about 11.5 x 19 inches. It uses eight KT88 tubes per channel, capable of delivering 200 watts in pentode mode or 100 watts in triode mode, selectable via a toggle switch on the top panel. The amplifier offers output taps for 4, 8, and 16 ohm speakers and features point-to-point wiring with RCA jacks for single-ended operation. Bias adjustments for each KT88 tube are accessible via setscrews, allowing precise tuning. The Hurricane DT is known for its excellent soundstaging, focus, and specificity, with a frequency response from 12Hz to 74kHz at 1 watt and 20Hz to 20kHz at full power. It is capable of driving low-impedance speakers effectively and is praised for its musicality and power delivery. The amplifier does not provide balanced outputs but maintains low noise levels. It is considered a classic, well-built amplifier with a somewhat old-school design, including hand-wound transformers. The Hurricane DT is no longer in current production but remains highly regarded in the audiophile community.
