L-Amp MK2: Back to the Future

Merging the Past and Future for Unmatched Audio Perfection

Limited Edition – Miki’s Signature

The EarMen L-Amp MK2 is the next-generation evolution of the original model that captured the hearts of audiophiles worldwide. Many loved the first version, but we knew we could take it further — by implementing a true analog logarithmic potentiometer, refining the power-supply control, and improving mechanical isolation of the tubes from external vibration and interference.

Like every Auris creation, it’s built around one principle — Sound Above All.

Rediscover Audio

The L-Amp MK2 merges vintage tube warmth with modern engineering precision, delivering an emotionally engaging listening experience in a compact portable format.
It uses NOS JAN6418 vacuum tubes and delivers 1 W @ 8 Ω, capable of driving even demanding headphones while preserving the delicate tonal character only tubes can provide.

If microphonics ever occur due to external shock, simply reconnect the USB-C cable — the microphony disappears, but the tube magic remains.
