In 2009, when Jon Iverson reviewed T+A’s Power Plant integrated amplifier, he was impressed by its “tight, yet musical character,” noting well-controlled bass and extended treble. T+A’s E Series Power Plant and Music Player have now been updated with high-quality balanced inputs and outputs.

The Power Plant Balanced now costs $3100, a modest $400 increase over the original version. The balanced input section is located on its own circuit board. It uses a fully symmetrical construction and is direct-coupled to the preamplifier section via high-quality differential amplifiers.
