Ferrum

Ferrum Audio DACs, headphone amplifiers, and power supplies are available at Vinyl Sound USA Inc. in Buffalo, NY, your authorised Ferrum Audio dealer serving Western New York and the United States. Launched in 2020 by HEM — a Polish electronics company with over two decades of expertise in designing complex audio equipment for global manufacturers — Ferrum Audio has established itself as one of the most rapidly decorated brands in contemporary high-end audio, engineering a modular ecosystem of components that combine proprietary discrete circuit design, ESS Sabre DAC technology, and the award-winning HYPSOS hybrid power system into a cohesive high-performance digital audio platform. The Ferrum Audio lineup at Vinyl Sound Buffalo spans the HYPSOS and HYPSOS Dual Output hybrid power supplies, OOR headphone amplifier, ERCO Gen 2 DAC/headphone amplifier, WANDLA DAC/preamplifier, and flagship WANDLA HP DAC/headphone amplifier, covering desktop headphone systems through reference-level digital preamplifier configurations. Ferrum Audio has accumulated an exceptional collection of awards in a remarkably short time. The Ferrum WANDLA DAC/preamplifier won the EISA Hi-Fi Award 2023-2024, with EISA judges describing it as another home run from Poland's Ferrum Audio, praising its ESS Sabre DAC chipset, custom DSP, and Dynamic Digital Filtering incorporating filters from specialist software house Signalyst for music of any genre faithfully rendered and packed with detail. The Ferrum OOR headphone amplifier won the EISA Award for Best Headphone Amplifier, recognised for its fully balanced proprietary discrete power amplifier circuit delivering ultra-low distortion, expansive dynamics, and exceptional control with a signal path that remains truly balanced via XLR inputs. The Ferrum HYPSOS hybrid power supply won the EISA Award for Best Product of the Year and received Stereophile Recommended Components 2024 recognition in the Powerline Accessories category, combining linear and switching power supply topologies to deliver low ripple and noise alongside fast transient response. The WANDLA GoldenSound Edition received the StereoNET Applause Award, praised for its beautifully deep soundstage and accurate tonal presentation. The Ferrum Audio ecosystem is built on modularity and synergy. Every Ferrum component is optimised for use with HYPSOS via Ferrum Power Link, a dedicated low-impedance connection that bypasses the standard power input circuitry for enhanced transparency and dynamic control that EISA judges described as taking the WANDLA's already exceptional performance to a higher level. ERCO Gen 2 brings Ferrum's entry-level DAC significantly closer to WANDLA performance with a new bootloader, enhanced DSP engine, and ESS Sabre ES9028PRO chipset supporting PCM 768kHz and DSD512. Competing Polish and European digital audio brands including Mytek and Auralic address portions of the same high-end DAC market, but Ferrum's unique combination of three consecutive EISA Awards across three separate products in under four years of operation establishes it as the most rapidly acclaimed Polish audio brand in history.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Leben, and are its amplifiers good?
Leben is a Japanese maker of vacuum tube amplifiers founded by Taku Hyodo, known for point-to-point hand wiring, in-house wound transformers, and premium parts that pay tribute to classic 1950s and 1960s hi-fi while refining it. The praise is substantial: the CS600 earned Stereophile's top Class A rating, and the CS300XS drew acclaim from Hi-Fi Plus, Stereophile, and Positive Feedback. At Vinyl Sound USA in Buffalo, New York we carry the range and can help you choose the right piece for your system.
Which Leben products does Vinyl Sound USA carry?
The Leben lineup at Vinyl Sound USA includes the CS-300X(S) and CS-600X integrated amplifiers, the CS-300F pre-main amplifier, the CS-1000P tube power amplifier, the RS-28CX preamplifier, and the RS-30EQ phono preamplifier. That covers tube integrated amplification and full tube separates. Tell us your speakers and sources and we will point you to the right combination.
What is a tube amplifier, and are tube amps better?
A tube, or valve, amplifier uses vacuum tubes in its circuit, and many listeners describe the sound as warm, natural, and musically engaging. Whether it is better is a matter of taste and system, since tubes trade some power and require occasional tube replacement, while they reward you with a distinctive, lifelike presentation. Leben is one of the most respected names in the category. At Vinyl Sound USA we can help you decide if a tube amp suits your speakers and listening. Tell us your setup and we will advise.
Which Leben integrated amplifier should I choose?
An integrated amplifier combines preamp and power amp, and Leben offers two main options at Vinyl Sound USA. The CS-300X(S) delivers 12 watts per channel from EL84 tubes in a self-biasing push-pull circuit, ideal for high-sensitivity speakers, and the CS-600X provides 32 watts per channel from 6L6GC tubes for more flexibility and medium-sensitivity speakers. The CS-300F is a further pre-main option. Share your speakers and room and we will match the right one.
How much power do I need, and what speakers pair with Leben?
Leben amplifiers are designed to partner with high-sensitivity loudspeakers, so modest tube wattage goes a long way. The CS-300X(S) at 12 watts and the CS-600X at 32 watts cover most high and medium-sensitivity speakers in rooms up to about 30 square metres. At Vinyl Sound USA they pair beautifully with high-sensitivity designs like DeVore Fidelity, Klipsch Heritage, and Spendor Classic. Tell us your speakers and room and we will confirm the right amount of power.
What is a power amplifier, and what is the Leben CS-1000P?
A power amplifier handles the amplification that drives your speakers and pairs with a separate preamp for volume and input switching. The Leben CS-1000P at Vinyl Sound USA is a tube stereo power amplifier for a reference separates system, delivering Leben's musical character with more power in reserve. Pair it with the RS-28CX preamp for a full Leben front end. Tell us your speakers and we will help you plan the system.
What is a preamplifier, and what is the Leben RS-28CX?
A preamplifier handles input selection and volume and feeds a power amplifier, and it is the control center of a separates system. The Leben RS-28CX at Vinyl Sound USA is a premium tube preamplifier that pairs naturally with the CS-1000P power amp for a complete Leben system. Separates like these let you tune and upgrade each stage. Tell us your sources and power amp and we will confirm the pairing.
Do I need a phono preamp for vinyl, and what is the Leben RS-30EQ?
A turntable needs a phono stage to boost and correct its very low signal before your system can use it. The Leben RS-30EQ at Vinyl Sound USA is a tube phono preamplifier that brings Leben's musical character to vinyl playback, pairing with a Leben integrated or preamp. If vinyl is central to your system, it is a natural match. Tell us your turntable and cartridge and we will confirm the right setup.
How long do the tubes last, and are Leben amps easy to live with?
Output tubes in a well-built amplifier typically last for years of normal listening before they need replacement, and smaller signal tubes last even longer. Leben designs for reliability, and the CS-300X(S) uses a self-biasing circuit that makes tube replacement straightforward. Occasional tube replacement is a normal part of tube ownership rather than a difficulty. At Vinyl Sound USA we can advise on tube care and replacement for your model.
Can I build a full Leben separates system?
Yes. For a reference tube system, Vinyl Sound USA can pair the Leben RS-28CX preamplifier with the CS-1000P power amplifier, and add the RS-30EQ phono preamp for vinyl. Separates give you the fullest Leben performance and let you upgrade each stage over time. If you prefer simplicity, the CS-300X(S) or CS-600X integrated covers it in one box. We can help you choose between separates and an integrated.
Are Leben products from Vinyl Sound USA authorized, and do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Vinyl Sound USA Inc. in Buffalo, New York is an authorized Leben dealer, so every amplifier and preamp is genuine with full support. We serve Western New York and customers across the United States. Reach out by phone or email, or visit our Buffalo showroom to hear Leben paired with high-sensitivity speakers, and we will help you choose the right system.
