Icon Audio: Handcrafted British Valve Amplifiers

Icon Audio is a renowned British Hi-Fi brand founded in 2000 by David Shaw, a passionate audiophile and audio engineer. The company specializes in valve amplifiers and vacuum tube electronics, combining classic circuit design, artisanal craftsmanship, and outstanding musicality.

All products are designed, tested, and fine-tuned in Leicester, UK, where each unit undergoes individual listening tests. While part of the chassis manufacturing takes place in China, all transformers and critical components are designed and assembled in-house, ensuring authentic British quality and a warm, natural sound signature.

Valve Amplifiers

Icon Audio’s reputation is built on its range of integrated valve amplifiers, including the acclaimed Stereo 40 MkIV, an ultralinear design with a triode mode, praised for its musical detail and reliability. The catalogue extends from the compact Stereo 20PP (15 W per channel) to the powerful Stereo 60 and even high-power monoblock amplifiers with legendary tubes such as the GU81, designed for the most demanding Hi-Fi systems.

Phono Preamplifiers

For vinyl enthusiasts, Icon Audio offers all-valve phono preamps such as the PS1 MkII and the flagship PS3 MkII. Built entirely without printed circuit boards and wired point-to-point, these phono stages deliver maximum purity, musicality, and low distortion—perfect partners for high-end turntables.

Handcrafted Sound, Made in the UK

Every Icon Audio product reflects the brand’s philosophy: simple, musical circuits, premium components, and meticulous craftsmanship. Using classic tubes like EL84, KT88, and GU81, Icon Audio designs electronics with natural tonality, dynamic power, and engaging character.
