Remember the good old days when amps had Vacum Tubes and Valve’s? Well Roth Audio remembers.
You might think things have progressed since then. But anyone heavily into music will know how sweet it can sound after being processed by these majestic looking beasts.
Clearly taking from the old and the new the Roth Audio MC4 Music Cocoon does away with case’s and proudly displays the inner working’s of the amp.
Looking very retro and minimal the MC4 has been designed for use with the Apple iPod (hence the fairly obvious dock on the top of the amplifier), any portable audio device (there is a 3.5mm socket on the back of the amplifier), any device which outputs audio to a 3.5mm jack (e.g. a laptop), or a CD player (thatâll be why there is a pair of RIAA sockets on the back as well).
When using uncompressed files, this amplifier has the ability to allow you to hear things in the music which you have not heard before.
