PS Audio Trio C100 Control Amplifier
100 watt integrated Control Amplifier providing everything you need for an entire high-end two-channel audio system. Similar in concept to an integrated amplifier, but without all the sonic compromises that integrated amplifiers suffer from, the Trio C100 provides multiple inputs, remote control and a cool running 100 watt per channel power amplifier all in one gorgeous compact chassis. Based on Gain Cell technology for the gain control and ICE technology for the power amplifiers, this dual mono design is state of the art in its performance and represents one of the best values in high-end audio today.

What’s wrong with a volume control? It is just one more of many impediments in the signal path. In all high-end systems the fewer components the signal has to pass through the better. Volume and level controls restrict dynamic range and frequency response, hampering musical performance.
What we would like to do is eliminate as many impediments to the purity of the signal path as we can and that is just what the C100 Control Amplifier has accomplished. By eliminating the preamplifier and its volume control entirely, all that is left is a high-end variable gain power amplifier and a clean musically satisfying performance.

Rega Brio 3 Integrated Amplifier
The third generation of Brio the Brio 3 now boasts a modified power supply and up-rated power transformer. The increased power output (49 watts per channel into 8W) of the Brio 3 greatly improves control and musical performance over its predecessor. Rather than having unnecessary gadgets and frills usually found on products in this price range, the Brio 3 utilises the highest quality components to achieve the best sonic performance.
More Details
The output amplifier is built around a pair of Sanken 150w Darlington output transistors and an electronic circuit protects against shorted speakers and reactive loads of 1.7W or less. The power supply uses the new generously rated toroidal transformer and 10,000µF smoothing capacitors that provide enough current to drive the hardest of loads. If excellent sound quality and affordable price is your priority then the Brio 3 may be the ideal amplifier for you.

Rega Elicit R Integrated Amplifier
The Elicit is an 80-Watt integrated amplifier, which can be the heart of a traditional two-channel system, or integrated into a multi channel system where no compromise two-channel performance is required. The Elicit has a direct input feeding the power amplifier, which for example, can be a signal from a multi channel processor etc; and a pre-amplifier output, which enables the amplifier to be expanded to drive Bi-amplifier(s) or active or multiple speaker systems, for example, subs bass etc. The gain of the power amplifier is 28dB for full output, which makes it compatible with a wide variety of other power amplifiers. The amplifier is fully short circuit and DC protected.

Rega Mira 3 Integrated Amplifier
The Rega Mira 3 Amplifier is a high performance audio amplifier using the Improved “type 3” Rega Alpha-Encoder control system comprising of high quality loss-less relays, plus a digitally controlled analog switched resistor network volume control. The Mira 3 is housed in the Rega custom-built extruded aluminium case incorporating a high thermal efficiency heat sink. Rega has kept the same level of performance and synergy between stages as in the original Mira 2000 amplifier with a better level of functionality & controllability in the volume control user interface.
More Details
The Mira 3 is a 60 Watt integrated amplifier with full flexibility within the range. It has a Pre-amplifier output and Power amplifier input. The gain of the power amplifier is 28dB for full output, and thus enables the amplifier to be expanded to drive Bi-amplifier or active speaker systems (Sub Bass etc). It can also drive multiple speakers if required or be part of a high performance AV system. The amplifier has a fully short circuit and DC protected output stage and high quality Evox film capacitors have been used in the signal path throughout.

Naim Nait 5i Four Input Integrated Amplifier
The new NAIT 5i is the latest iteration of Naim’s fabled entry-level amplifier bringing enhanced performance and usability over its highly regarded predecessor. The most noticeable change is perhaps the addition of a convenient iPod/MP3 player input on its front panel. Within its incredibly sturdy chassis numerous design upgrades elevate its musical performance to even greater heights. These include improved ceramic heat sinking, restructured cabling, and circuit changes to lower distortion and improve RF rejection. All these add up to provide a substantial improvement in this amazing amplifier’s already class-leading performance.
The NAIT 5i naturally forms a wholly synergistic partner for the CD5i CD player. Together they provide the perfect and most cost-effective introduction to Naim system ownership. There’s a long Naim tradition of the NAIT Integrated Amplifier punching above its weight. It began with the original NAIT in 1983 and continues now with the NAIT 5i. Although the recent introduction of the SUPERNAIT represents the current state-of the-art for integrated designs, the NAIT 5i remains a superb and cost-effective introduction to the Naim sound for those who don’t require the SUPERNAIT’s advanced features and capabilities.
More Details
The NAIT 5i delivers fifty Watts into real loudspeaker loads, each Watt with the legendary Naim rhythmic drive and musical integrity. Entry level it may be, but the music it makes is detailed, engaging and recognisably Naim. It borrows many of the latest Naim amplifier innovations to become the finest sounding integrated ever to carry the logo.
Versatility is vital for an entry level amplifier. The Nait 5i makes integration with existing systems easy by incorporating phono socket inputs alongside the traditional DIN sockets, and offers the possibility of use with a wide range of speaker cable types. Integration with audio visual systems is handled through a programmable “unity gain” input. The 5i is intuitive in use too. A true plug and play product.
