• Crafted with precious KUROGAKI wood

A boundary Pushing Audio Experience

Narukami takes its name from the thunder god of Japanese legend. As such, the HPA-KG NARU has been hand-crafted to ignite elemental passions throughout the listening experience. Audio-Technica's engineers rely on their refined auditory judgment, rather than a sterile set of technical specifications, to assess sound quality, while key materials, like precious KUROGAKI wood, are selected to bring the listener closer to the wonders of nature.

Top-of-the-Line Tubes

The Narukami headphone amplifier employs a fully balanced drive design, and all of the unit’s vacuum tubes are individually tested and matched to ensure optimal performance. The signal amplification stage uses a shunt regulated push-pull (SRPP) circuit design and employs paired JJ ECC83S tubes, known for their rich and resonant sound characteristics. In the power stage, two pairs of Takatsuki TA-300B tubes are utilized, delivering powerful driving force and dynamic high-quality sound.

Circuit Design

The amplifier’s independent signal circuit and power supply for L/R channels ensure high separation and low noise, delivering transparent and rich sound quality for discerning audio enthusiasts. The amorphous core silver wire output transformer from Lundahl, chosen for its low magnetic hysteresis loss and optimal impedance matching, adds richness to the sound and provides flexibility with a headphone matching circuit.

Symbolic Soundscape

The top of the HPA-KG NARU tube amplifier is stylized like a dry landscape garden (karesansui), representing water flows that run down along the amplifier’s unique KUROGAKI wood side panels. The metal mesh cover protecting the vacuum tubes and output transformers recalls the dense pattern of the Ayasugi tree’s flat needles. These visual nods to nature prefigure the lifelike sound that awaits the listener.

More Than a Headphone Amplifier

The Narukami amplifier is not just a headphone amplifier; it also serves as a preamplifier with unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR pre-outs. The preamp is designed to amplify low-level audio signals from a source component, producing warm, natural sound from the vacuum tubes and bringing it to a level suitable for driving a power amplifier. The amplifier is also equipped with one set of unbalanced RCA line inputs and two pairs of balanced XLR inputs to allow connection of a CD/DVD player and other audio devices.

Companion Headphones

To complement this high-performance amplifier, Audio-Technica includes a pair of limited-edition AW-KG NARU headphones, featuring housings crafted from precious KUROGAKI wood.

These headphones have been specially tuned to deliver exceptional sound quality and are equipped with A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) jacks for secure connection to the included 2.0 m (6.6') and 3.0 m (9.8') cables, each terminated with a 4-pin XLR-M balanced connector. As a special addition, we also include an interchangeable pair of ZMF Universe Hybrid earpads to provide a unique alternate listening experience.

The half-gloss finish, applied by hand, brings out the natural beauty of the wood's grain, a beauty that will only deepen with age.

The headphones are equipped with exclusive 53mm drivers with highly efficient German Permendur magnetic circuitry that deliver exceptionally accurate audio with a wide sound field. Each driver's lightweight, durable titanium flange and 6N-OFC (high-purity, oxygen-free copper) voice coil ensure precise diaphragm movement and signal transfer. Our exclusive D.A.D.S. (Double Air Damping System), which divides the housing structure into two separate acoustic chambers, provides smooth, accurate bass response.

The arms that hold the housings are made from a lightweight, highly rigid magnesium alloy. The arms are angled to provide the best possible fit with excellent earcup seal. The comfortable fit is enhanced by the smooth, durable sheep skin earpads and headband.

The headphones also feature A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) jacks for secure connection to the two included 3.0 m (9.8') detachable cables. One cable has a 6.3 mm (1/4") gold-plated stereo plug for use with standard audio equipment. The other cable features a 4-pin XLRM balanced connector for use with the latest high-fidelity equipment to achieve better channel separation.
