hifi+ cover december 2024

We’re thrilled to announce that Accustic Arts has been recognized in this year’s hi-fi+ 2025 Awards! The TUBE PREAMP V took home the title of Best Preamplifier, while the AMP IV earned Highly Commended in the Power Amp – Cost No Object category. These awards reaffirm what we’ve known all along—this pairing delivers a world-class listening experience.

Rafael Todes of hi-fi+ reviewed the TUBE PREAMP V and AMP IV together in December 2024, highlighting their synergy and performance:

“There is something very honest about what the combination is doing. It is very accurate and provides more stygian bass than I usually hear… it is clear that the headphone section is no afterthought; it has been designed and built with the same care as the rest of the preamp… up there with the best headphone amps I have heard.”

“I’m immediately impressed by the amp’s ability to do scale. The bass is punchy; the presentation is colossal sounding, with real weight to the textures in the orchestra. However, this is combined with a light, airy, sweet, and highly detailed treble… The amps are fast, too, and the transients are razor-sharp and highly dynamic… I have hugely enjoyed my time with these products. They uncovered layers of the mix I had not heard before, proving quite an education. They also excel on difficult-to-drive loads, like electrostatics, and by extension, planar magnetic speakers.”
