Tube Technology was founded by Zia Faruqi in 1988, who continues as designer-in-chief, and the driving force behind all aspects of the company. One of the very first people in Britain to realise the dreadful mediocrity of the average transistor amplifier and to do something constructive about it, was Zia Faruqi. His burning passion to improve our listening experience led to the formation of Tube Technology and was influential in starting the present tube renaissance.
In those days, to say that a tube amplifier had distinct advantages over it's solid-state counterparts was akin to stating that the as flat. Undeterred, fired with enthusiasm, but with little finance - Zia Faruqi set out to manufacture a range of tube amplification which was to demonstrate the inherent superiority of the thermionic valve and contribute to the general acceptance of tube amplifiers today.
Three main aims were paramount to the concept of Tube Technology.
(i) Production of amplifiers combining the sonic virtues and wisdom of the thermionic valve era but built using the most up-to-date technology and manufacturing procedures. Real-World amplifiers for every day use.
(ii) High-End sound quality which would be right up there with the best available and, in addition, be built with a level of craftsmanship and technical competence far beyond the normal expectations of British hi-fi. "Excellence All Round" would be the motto of this innovative specialist manufacturer.
(iii) Elegant, desirable visual design, appealing to all and complimenting the home environment. Amplifiers which would be treasured as timeless music making machines, akin to a fine musical instrument.
In these respects, Tube Technology have succeeded admirably with their products, being highly respected and sought after by audiophiles in over 25 countries.
Innovation is the name of the game at Tube Technology. From conventional pre/powers to stunningly beautiful integrated
amplifiers, they set the pace. Witness the mighty Synergy - a muscular 150 watt dual mono, remote controlled integrated
of superlative quality. This unique design has received many accolades from around the world of hi-fi, from the music industry and even an appearance on BBC television.
Although Tube Technology is now a successful and expanding company developing and pioneering a full range of world class digital equipment together with its tube line-up, Zia and his dedicated team still maintain the extremely high quality on which Tube Technology's reputation has been built and being run by perfectionists, continues to design and manufacture cutting-edge products for enthusiasts who want that little extra.
