About the Jinro

The Audio Note (UK) Jinro is a high-end integrated amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sonic performance. It operates in Pure Class A with a single-ended output stage and uses the highly regarded 211 triode valves. The Jinro shares its circuit design and topology with the legendary Audio Note ONGAKU amplifier but uses copper for transformer windings instead of silver, balancing performance and cost. It features zero negative feedback, valve rectification, and directly heated triode operation, fulfilling Audio Note's Level 3 criteria for materials and component quality. The amplifier is engineered for sonic excellence rather than technical specifications alone, emphasizing musicality and refinement. It includes a valve complement of 2 x 5R4WGB rectifiers, 2 x 211 output tubes, 1 x ECC82/5814a, and 1 x 7044 tube. The unit weighs 38 kg and measures 305mm (H) x 305mm (W) x 640mm (D). It supports mains input of AC 100-120V or 220-240V at 50/60Hz and consumes a maximum of 200W power. The Jinro is noted for its detailed, refined sound and build quality, though it is large and heavy,
