The LAKE PEOPLE G101 Headphone Amplifier is a compact audio device designed to enhance your listening experience. It features a single channel with both 1/4" TRS and 1/8" / 3.5 mm TRS stereo headphone outputs, accommodating a wide range of headphones. With an impressive frequency response of 5 Hz to 150 kHz, a dynamic range of 124 dBA, and exceptionally low noise at -102 dBA, the G101 delivers clear and accurate audio reproduction. Power is supplied via a 5 VDC at 2A USB-C input, making it a versatile addition to any desktop or portable setup where high-fidelity headphone amplification is desired.
Match your amplifier's power output (Watts RMS) to your speakers' sensitivity and impedance (Ohms). Do not obsess over astronomical peak wattage claims; RMS is the true measure of sustained power. Available from $199.
Amplifiers have practically zero ongoing costs aside from electricity, which is highly variable based on usage volume and class type (Class A uses more power than Class D). Good amplifiers can last decades with proper care. Consumables are virtually non-existent unless using tube amps.
Common Failure Modes
Solid-state amplifiers are extremely reliable. Failures usually stem from blown capacitors, overheated output transistors, or physical wear on volume potentiometers. Proper ventilation prevents 90% of heat-related failures.
Match your amplifier's power output (Watts RMS) to your speakers' sensitivity and impedance (Ohms). Do not obsess over astronomical peak wattage claims; RMS is the true measure of sustained power. Class D amplifiers run cool and are compact, while Class A/B offer traditional warm sound at the expense of heat and size.
Solid-state amplifiers can last 20+ years. Capacitors may eventually dry out and need replacement.
