FATMAN ARCHIVES
In 2006 the Fatman Audio brand was created and achieved many awards including What Hi-Fi 5 Star product awards
We landed a container of stock and a few days later the company wound up and we got stuck with lots of cool little amps that no one wanted. They sounded great, they worked well but alas, the brand was no more and the FAT... was non contactable in the UK and left us in an uncomfortable position to say the least . It is your chance to take up these awesome deals as stock take has been completed and we are on the move. Here are some specials each at $299 including GST ,excluding freight as we endeavour to clear these quickly.
System # 1
iTube Carbon Edition II
This second version of the iconic iTube Carbon Edition became a 5 star award winner with many magazines including What Hi-Fi. A larger power supply, extra connectivity and more refined user controls made this a must for any discerning music fan wanting to play their MP3’s and as before you needed to be happy with Henry Ford’s attitude that ‘you can have it in any colour as long as it’s black!’

What is the difference between 6N1 and 6N2 tube?
Besides that, the differences between 6N1 and 6N2 are pretty large.
In a normal voltage gain stage, the gain of a 6N1 is in the range of 15 to 25 x, while the gain of a 6N2 is in the range of 40 to 75 x. The way the tubes normaly get biased also differs.
In a nut shell, the heater requirements differ,,.the 6N1P uses almost twice the heater current that 6N2P does so these Amps while similar are just a little different.
