Outrageously Sweet: DAYTON HTA100 Integrated Amp
Dayton hit the mark with this one, the HTA100 scores with a generous features set and sweet sound for just $230, with free shipping at Parts Express, https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-HTA100-100-Watt-Stereo-Hybrid-Tube-Amplifier-with-Bluetooth-300-3848?quantity=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=18395892906&utm_content
I used the HTA100 with Klipsch RP 600M II, B&W 607 S2, Magnepan LRS+ speakers, and compared the HTA100 with the Emotiva Bas-X A100 amp.

thanx for erasing my comment
Does the impedance of a speaker affect the damping or negative feedback ?
Hello, I contacted you yesterday about using a Schiit Mini+ 4 EQ with my Yamaha AS301, you stated I could use it via my AUX/LINE…could I use this amp with the Mini+4? I would then sell my AS301. THANKS!!! I looked at the other Schiit components but the costs really added up.
If this little beauty sounded like it looks I would still have it. Initially it sounded like I was holding empty toilet paper rolls up to my ears. After giving it several hours to burn in the highs and upper mids emerged but the bass end never resolved from "muddy" so I sadly had to return it. In a dark room late at night this is probably the most aesthetically pleasing tube amp I have ever owned. It was like having a little fireplace on my dresser. I couldn’t tell if they were reflecting the tube’s light back up into the tubes or added amber lights in the cabinet below them, but it was nothing short of gorgeous. And I almost kept it just for the ambiance it created.
I have the HTA200 which i thought this was. But i wanted to say i upgraded the two smallest tubes on my 200 (looks like the 100 doesn’t have them) for $21 tubes on Amazon! The difference was so noticeable after i changed just one that i could demonstrate it over the phone. Or even through the phone comparing left and right headphones. The new tubes were "W military grade" from GE. So interesting. I wish i knew what was going on with those and why the center tube. But I’d gladly "roll"them all if that’s what rolling means. Like the Germans say, the eyes listen. And these glow exactly the same so the difference is purely aural.
Crazy affordable and high quality that what I like
Juson Audio JTA50, same look at lower price and comes with remote control.
Could you tube roll it?
How does it compare to the Rockville blutube?
Just got this , with klipich KLF 10 and yamaha yst-sw515 and its so goood like soooo goood!
but you refuse to review this 2 channel preamp from Moore Amps.
👍🏼I wish to buy Dayton hta 200.But my service engineer say the PCB and circuit design not up to the mark of this amp. What is your opinion about this amp???also I’v two marantz pm6007.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did I hear you correctly this Amp does not play well with phono MM cartridge?
Dayton Electronics does design some great sounding units.
Thanks for the great review. BTW love, love, love the shirt. Where did you get it?
Is this a safe tube amp for planars? I have some m1060s that i cherish. I’ve owned them since 2017.
Friends and family decided I had to buy the HTA100 as I was already considering it AND the RP-600M IIs and then saw your review. Eventually, I’ll add GR Research’s upgrade kit to the speakers, and there will be a sub coming soonish. I’m at a point where this will be my last system, and while it’s modest, when SG uses the combo for review, it is a GOOD sign. Thank you
Hi Steve, I’m looking for a temporary amp to drive my Forte IV while I wait for Decware.
Would you recommend Dayton Audio vs Emotiva Basx A2?
V specific inquiry but could I use this with a pair of Dynaco A25’s or is it too powerful? Anyone??
I have the HTA 200 and it is stellar with vinyl and DAC. Highly recommend.
Just pulled the trigger on getting this, super exited!
50W output is complete BS, even for class AB.
If the remote is a deal breaker, just get the Dayton Audio HTA200, instead of the 100.
Thanks for reviewing such a sweet piece of affordable equipment. What would your recommended brand be for upgrading the Tubes on this ?
+1 for using Aphex Twin for testing 😊
Great review! How would I connect an external DAC and bypass the internal one?
So i can plugg this into my pc via usb and it will work?
So, will this thing power my JBL floor speakers? I’m confused.
Hello Steve did you every review a pair of Sound lab 945 PX rain storm thunderclap speakers that can realistically reproduce a super realistic thunderstorm.
Oh huh, think I could slap some Sylvania 6SN7 GTA tubes in this?
New to tubes and found myself having a couple of these guys
No remote control a deal-breaker?! You’ve got to be kidding? Have we become so friggin’ lazy that we can’t get off or lazy ass to turn up the volume or whatever setting you are adjusting? Cripes!
I’ve been hoping to get back into vinyl again and this would be a great purchase to start. The extra money for a remote? Screw that. Add a Fluance RT85 and I’m gold. Good video Mr.
Thanks man! May have my next purchase! 👍🏾
Those are 6 volt tubes unusual numbers tho I wonder if they will cross over.
Just purchased the hta 200. Can’t wait to receive it. It is the big brother of this amp and this one has a remote with motorized volume control.
2024 9/10 $249
have you had a chance to view the auna Amp VT. as ive been eyeing that as my next step in desktop audio for my headphones, and my trusty jamo sonic which i want to start using again as they are powerhouse speakers with an extra tweeter i put in.
I have the HTH 100B
Bluetooth it’s pushing my Sony cs5,s.thanks Steve 👍🏻
Thanks for reviewing this amp Steve – another great video – as always! Appreciate your insights! 🎶🎵
I just got the hta200 ($399) and I couldn’t be happier. I replaced my Sansui G5500 (it’s going to another system), the difference is very noticeable.
Phono outputs
Steve, will this amp power Magnepans?
have this hooked up to my home system and it’s powerful! love it.
Love your vids!! Quick question. If the small tubes are for preamp and the larger ones for power, how is is delivering that much power ? Is this a hybrid amp? Am assuming that’s the only way it could get that kind of power.
I loved this amp for about 10months and now it’s dead. It always had a buzzing noise when my cell phone was near by and yesterday I turned it on and smelled burning electronics. Lucky I got my money back. Won’t be buying their stuff again.
So you dont recommend for vinyl? Thats the only reason i bought it 😂
I own this. I have it hooked to DML speakers I made and one sub. It is sublime.
How would this work with Bose 201 series 111 speakers, thanks for the input,love your experiences.
No gud vinyl, no go!
