HIFIMAN Goldenwave GA-10 Review

The GA-10 comes packaged in regulation HiFi brown cardboard packaging. It’s not unusual, though by no means exciting, with simple prints on the outside denoting the Goldenwave brand on the outside (no HIFIMAN branding?). 

Inside, the unit is surrounded by heavy-duty foam inserts, though I would have preferred a vented tube amplifier wrapped in electrostatic shielding plastic or a protective fabric dust bag. 

My review sample came with a power plug for my region and setup for 220V. Yours will come with a plug and voltage rating applicable to your region, so it will vary.

Aside from the above, I got a short manual in Chinese, and again, I presume your retail unit will have the same manual in English.

I would also have liked to have seen a small Allan key included for lifting the top plate to access the tubes. The tube rolling community might be all over this one, given how affordable and easily obtainable these
