When designing a tube amplifier, most designers create a circuit, then try to find a tube that best fits the application. Air Tight choose a tube which has wonderful musical attributes, then designs a circuit to best serve that tube. This is one of the reasons that Air Tight amplifiers sound so pure and alive – cohesive design, synergistic selection of components and heirloom quality execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e38 years ago, Air Tight’s first amplifier was the ATM-1, which used the EL-34 tube in a push-pull configuration. This was followed years later by the legendary ATM-1S which was made right up until 2023. The ATM-1 2024 edition (also known as the ATM-1E) is a brand new design of the ATM-1 concept released in 2024 and draws on the culmination of almost 4 decades of experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork on the ATM-1E started in 2022 with the view of modernising the ATM concept. The output transformer \u0026amp; choke coil was designed and supplied from Tamura, and internally, the new amplifier has a completely redesigned circuit. Another difference from the original ATM-1 is the bias adjustment. The ATM-1E is equipped with a new accurate bias meter and independent bias ampere volume controls on top of the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Air Tight philosophy dictates that to build a great amplifier takes time. Time to really understand the nature of that valve, time to experiment, adjust, listen, hone, evolve and refine the design so that it is a pure expression of that valve’s best capabilities. This philosophy informs as to what to expect from the ATM-1S. This is not just a stereo amplifier of the highest quality. It is also the company’s statement of the ultimate evolution of this type of amplifier partnering with these valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompare this design philosophy and hand-made ‘coachbuilding’ attention to detail to your typical mass-produced amplifier available at most hi-fi shops. It is so rare to have this traditional approach applied to anything today, let alone a power amplifier at this level of cost. The ATM-1E is a beautiful, bespoke amplifier that combines heritage, brand credibility, audiophile performance with a touch of nostalgia. It has an uncanny ability to produce music with a natural tone, an inner glow that infuses every note, every lyric and passage. When you’re no longer interested in the intellectual critique, when all you want to do is listen to music and simply enjoy… the ATM-1E is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrthodox circuitry composed of a Mullard phase inverter with NFb under UL connection reproduces the sublime treble with second-to-none musicality inherent in the acclaimed EL34 valve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHefty headroom in output capability achieved by a newly developed transformer boasting of 60W handling capacity ensures stable operation for long term use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBias adjustment facilities (meter, switch \u0026amp; pots) provided for easy service-accessibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetained unchanged are those outstanding features such as point-to-point wiring without PCB, OFC wiring, etc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCD-direct input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper-plated chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hifinews.com\/content\/vacuum-packed-airtight-amplifier\"\u003eHiFi News, Ken Kessler, 2019\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hifinews.com\/content\/vacuum-packed-airtight-amplifier\"\u003e\"With that attitude, there’d be no more mechanical Rolexes, only throwaway watches.

This KT-88 based push-pull power amplifier was released when vacuum tube amplifiers were considered to be obsolete, old fashioned products on the way out, rapidly replaced by more modern solid-state designs. Completely ignoring the trends of the day, AirTight released this hand-made masterpiece and it instantly became a symbol of superior sound quality in an era dominated by convenience and escalating power outputs. In fact, the ATM-2 became the longest running model in AirTight’s history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new ATM-2Plus is a completely new internal design while externally it has remained true to the original’s unmistakable style and proportions. All the circuitry, including the 1st \u0026amp; 2nd amplification stages and internal layout has been redesigned and updated. The plate voltage of the KT-88 tube has been lowered while keeping output power for longer tube life as well as stable operation of the amplifier. For the optimum operation of KT-88\/6550 tubes, 6CG7\/6FQ7 tubes were incorporated for wider amplitude and lower distortion. AirTight also redesigned a ‘negative feedback loop’ to optimise damping factors to match modern speaker designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Output Transformers are a critical component for a power amplifier of this design. The ATM-2Plus implements brand new original Tamura design low impedance 100W class large output transformers to allow plenty of effortless bandwidth. For the important role of Power Transformer, AirTight decided to use a custom-made hand-winded\/ paper wrapped transformer made by Japanese craftsman for a clearer and bigger sound stage. These custom-made transformers account for both the incredible sound quality and the cost of this amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design aesthetic of the ATM-2Plus pays homage to its predecessor, however under the skin it features a new fastening \u0026amp; grounding system. Keeping with AirTight traditions, no printed circuit boards are used. All the internal wiring is high quality point to point incorporating a new safety circuit to protect the amplifier from output tube failures. All ATM-2Plus amplifiers are hand made by AirTight’s experienced craftsmen at the AirTight factory in Takatsuki, Osaka.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen high end amplifiers are discussed, how often can you really use words like ‘heritage’, ‘lineage’ or ‘pedigree’? For the last 32 years, the artisans at AirTight in Japan have been building, listening, refining, improving and evolving a classic design. How many products can you thinks of that have had that much time, patience and energy devoted to their development? The ATM-2Plus is an updated, thoroughly modern hand-made amplifier with ‘coach-building’ attention to detail. It has an uncanny ability to produce music with a natural tone, an inner glow that infuses every note, every lyric and passage. When you have transcended the need for bells and shining lights and you simply want pure, unadulterated musical enjoyment, the ATM-2Plus beckons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nirvanasound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/reviews\/AirTight%20English%20Review%20ATM-2Plus.pdf\"\u003eImage HiFi Magazine Germany, Ekkehard Strauss, 2020\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nirvanasound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/reviews\/AirTight%20English%20Review%20ATM-2Plus.pdf\"\u003e\"While listening to Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No.1 in G Minor… you inevitably end up with a big lump in your throat – such is the ‘unbelievability’ of the sound.

The 300B tube had achieved iconic status because of its clarity and musicality and was appearing in statement amplifiers offered by many of the world’s new wave of innovative amplifier designers. The ATM-300 was immediately well received, becoming well known for its clarity and tightness as well as its bass performance in comparison to other SET designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the book “Illustrated History of High-End Audio” published by “The Absolute Sound”, the ATM-300 was introduced as the model symbolic of the AirTight brand. In 2016, the ATM-300 was completely updated to a limited model, the ‘ATM-300 Anniversary’ celebrating the company’s 30 year history. In 2018, after a period of intensive development, the model was updated again with an uncompromising approach to sonics and the ATM-300R was released. This is designed to be a ‘timeless reference model and the destination of the 300B amplifier’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirTight’s design approach has always been to exploit the 300B’s timbral purity, tonal realism and sound staging abilities without allowing any adverse colouration. With the experience of two previous incarnations of the design behind them, AirTight were able to continue to develop and realize the circuit in its ultimate form. Hundreds of hours of component trialling and materials research was completed to create an amplifier with serious long-term reliability and consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ATM-300R uses traditional point to point wiring and the very best electrolytic capacitors, coupling film capacitors and winding resistors which are mounted on a pure copper sub-chassis board. Seen rarely in amplifiers of any cost, plastic bobbin-less interlaminar transformers are employed for the power transformer and choke coil, made by an orthodox lacquer vacuum impregnation method to minimise vibration so that musical signal modulation is prevented. A slow starter circuit has been employed to protect the 300B’s and 5U4GB rectifying tubes are implemented into this very efficient design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘R’ in the part number stands for ‘Reference’ and the ATM-300R is often favourably compared to the likes of Kondo, Shindo and other legendary Japanese masterpiece amplifiers.

They are often perceived to have a purity and immediacy which to use a some commonly used descriptions, ‘lifts the veil’ or ‘opens the window’ into the music. Nevertheless, single ended designs have often been limited by their low power outputs which required the use of high efficiency speakers. Well-designed high efficiency speakers that deliver deep bass are rare and expensive. So over the years, enthusiasts who wanted to use single ended amplifiers had to either live with their limitations, go DIY or make a serious investment in speaker technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, many audiophiles have developed the opinion that the ‘Holy Grail’ of amplification would be a single ended amplifier that developed enough power to properly drive real world modern speakers. These rare designs are highly sought after and in the opinion of many people, the true definition of high-end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo answer this challenge, Air Tight launched the original ATM-211 in 2001. It was a dual chassis monoaural (mono black) power amplifier using the 211 tube and it was a ground-breaking design which rapidly became known as one of the best amplifiers in the world. To commemorate the company’s 35th anniversary, Air Tight have now replaced the ATM-211 with the new ATM-2211.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new amplifier does not to use the overall Negative Feedback (NFB) from the secondary side of the output transformer but instead applies a large amount of NFB from the plate of the 211 output tube to the first stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearch and listening test proved that this change resulted in an increased drive, penetration and energy in the sonic presentation. The timing and rhythmic qualities of the music became more focused and the soundstage widened. Air Tight capitalised on the improvement in the technology of modern componentry and selected the best possible parts to supplement the single ended circuit. The power output was raised to 32W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ATM-2211 uses fixed bias method and DC ignition for the filament. For the LP monitor and bias meter, a large vertical type was incorporated for easier viewing and adjustment setting. Replacing the 211 output tubes is easy because the dial corresponds both to the plate loss 75W type vintage 211 tube and the conventional VT-4C plate loss type 211 tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother upgrade from the original ATM-211 is that the new ATM-2211 uses independent power transformers for high-voltage and low-voltage. The choke coil (which can be said to be the heart of the single-ended amplifier) is made of layers that do not use the traditional bobbin and are specially made to withstand high voltages. This choke coil is custom hand-crafted by Japanese craftsmen piece by piece, and it makes a significant contribution to realising a sound stage with clarity, dynamics and low frequency resolution. The output transformer is a high output version made by Hashimoto Electric Co. Ltd. for ultimate low frequency performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main chassis is Air Tight`s traditional monocoque construction that controls resonance and maintains the mechanical strength of the amplifier. A thick pure copper sub-chassis is suspended from the main chassis to support the main amplification board and the power supply section on which the large block capacitor is placed. The main chassis has a structure that uses a threaded stud where the head of the screw is externally invisible, and this ensures electrical conductivity by pressing the boss into the chassis. The thick front panel was machined from a thick Aluminium block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWBT Speaker terminals are separately equipped for high (8Ω) and low (4Ω) output (16Ω can be selected as a factory set option). The input terminal is equipped with selectable RCA and XLR terminals. When the power is turned on, a built-in timer relay is activated and a plate voltage is applied with a time difference. This protects the output tube when the power is turned on and protects the longevity of the power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally! Single ended sound for real world speakers. The ATM-2211 builds on the reputation that the ATM-211 cultivated for almost 20 years. It takes that same philosophy, updates the design and technology and presents the audiophile community with a new pièce de résistance. Is 32W enough to drive your speakers? If your speakers are 88-89dB and higher, 32W should be plenty. The ATM-2211 offers you 32 of the most sublime, transparent, dynamic, ethereal, enjoyable watts that you will ever hear!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVideo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir Tight 2019 Interview\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cy3Y5qtuMFY\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\"\u003e\u0026lt;span\n data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px;\noverflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\"\nclass=\"mce_SELRES_start\"\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir Tight ATM-2211 (Japanese language featuring matching with B\u0026amp;W speakers)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HEgo6h81fTE\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\"\u003e\u0026lt;span\n data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px;\noverflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\"\nclass=\"mce_SELRES_start\"\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMono Block Power Amplifiers (Pair)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle Ended Triode\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValves Employed (Per Channel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 x 211 (PSVANE), 1 x 12AX7 (Electro-Harmonix), 1 x 12BH7 (Electro-Harmonix)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated Power Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e32W (THD\u0026lt;5%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20Hz~20kHz (-1dB) @3.5W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100kΩ (RCA\/XLR)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRCA x1, XLR x1 (No.2 pin=HOT)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Sensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e500mV (32W)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e250VA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e400mm(W) × 350mm(D) × 225mm(H)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25.5kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that each of the product specifications relate to one chassis (one channel).

Audio engineer \u0026amp; inventor Fulvio Chiappetta conceived the theoretically perfect amplification system but his ideas were considered impossible to implement. What he wanted to achieve had never been done before – design an amplification system with the purity, refinement and emotional communication of a single ended triode design however with the power to drive any real-world speaker without the use of an output transformer, a hybrid design or a solid-state device in the signal path. Many designers in the history of audio have tried to achieve this ‘Holy Grail’ type of amplifier but it was deemed impossible. After 30 years of experimentation \u0026amp; development, Fulvio unveiled his Alieno amplification system, which consists of a preamplifier and a choice of two power amplifiers. The audiophile world is still trying to make sense of his achievement and the lucky few who have heard the Alieno sound are saying it’s genre redefining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alieno 100 LTD was launched at the Rome Hi-Fidelity Show in November 2021 and follows in the footsteps of the acclaimed 250 LTD. Whereas the 250 LTD is a twin chassis design that uses a pair of 300B tubes to produce 250W, the 100 LTD is a single chassis stereo power amplifier that uses two 2A3 tubes to produce 100W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be frank, these two power amplifiers are ground-breaking products that have no equal. There is simply nothing else in the world that has this technology or can deliver this performance. They are the first and only amplifiers in the world using an OTL-OCL (Output Transformer Less \u0026amp; Output Capacitor Less) Single Ended, pure Class A topology delivering high power. They are not hybrid tube\/transistor amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this point, you cannot be blamed for thinking “Impossible, this is some kind of marketing hype!”. Spend a moment listening to this amplifier and you will realise that 30 years of uncompromising development has yielded something very special. The secret here is the proprietary LTD technology (Loudspeaker Tube Direct) which allows the use of tubes exclusively for amplification circuitry with transistors used exclusively for power supply and protection circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEliminating Output Transformers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutput transformers are used in most tube power amplifier designs and have a significant influence on the sound which is why so many high-end designs place a lot of emphasis on the quality of this transformer. When listening to OTL (Output Transformer Less) designs which have eliminated the output transformer, you can hear the absence of the transformer (however traditional OTL designs have other issues).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a signal moves through an output transformer, it is converted into a magnetic field and subsequently\u003cbr\u003ere-converted back into an electrical signal. These two transformations result in a degradation of the signal which is heard as a loss of purity and immediacy in the sound. Eliminating the output transformer from the signal path is therefore extremely important if you are searching for ultimate transparency. In its absence, the true sound of tubes can be expressed in all their fullness. In fact, some of the flaws generally attributed to tubes, such as slowness, lack of impact \u0026amp; poor low frequency control, are to a large extent caused by the output transformer, not the tubes themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nirvanasound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Alieno-100-LTD-power-amplifier-top.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Ended Triode Circuitry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle Ended Triode (SET) circuitry is renowned for its magical musicality and notorious for its lack of power. The ideal amplifier for purity and clarity should combine the positive qualities of single-ended outputs with the elimination of an output transformer. It should also have sufficient output power to drive any reasonable load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese desires were Fulvio’s motivation for inventing the innovative circuitry of the LTD design. Output power comes from the power tube, while supplies to the load (voltage \u0026amp; current) are supported by Alieno’s unique semiconductor power supply process (current).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot a Traditional Hybrid Design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alieno LTD technology differs profoundly from traditional circuits defined as ‘hybrid´ which in addition to the output tubes, also include the use of transistors. In a hybrid system, after voltage amplification by the tubes stages, the signal is then delivered to the solid-state section for current amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn hybrid designs, the tube is tasked with increasing the signal voltage only, but not its current. This generates a partial, but important, loss of the tube signature on the sound. This precious purity and tonal structure are the desirable aspects of single-ended sound which must not be lost if aiming at ultimate sound quality. The ‘magic’ of tube sound is thus only partially expressed in hybrid designs, since only the voltage modulation supplied to the loudspeaker has those tube qualities while the current supply adds the signature typical of transistors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, if we consider that although quantitatively inadequate to the direct driving of a speaker, the current supplied from a tube (not modified by the transformer´s influence) is at its core excellent for speed, impact and modulation, the ‘perfect amplifier’ would be designed with the ability to preserve 100% of these virtues and deliver them unchanged to the speaker connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFuss-Free Tube Management\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alieno 100 LTD delivers a practical, stable, reliable and fuss-free ownership experience. There is no requirement for manual bias regulation thanks to the ingenious electronic circuit management of the KT150 tubes. All parameters are constantly optimised over the entire operating life of the tubes. In addition to the security and consistency of a system which is always perfectly fine-tuned regardless of electrical grid conditions and power tube aging, the control circuits allow “Tube Rolling” without worrying about bias regulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother significant advantage for users is the extended longevity of 2A3 power tubes. This design places very little stress on the tubes and they will last well beyond their typically rated five thousand hours.

Interestingly, if you ask experienced audiophiles and tube aficionados to name the most musical tube they have ever heard, many also nominate the 2A3. However, due to the very low power output of this tube, 2A3 SET amplifiers are only used with extremely high sensitivity speakers (horns).

Audio engineer \u0026amp; inventor Fulvio Chiappetta conceived the theoretically perfect amplification system but his ideas were considered impossible to implement. What he wanted to achieve had never been done before – design an amplification system with the purity, refinement and emotional communication of a single ended triode design however with the power to drive any real-world speaker without the use of an output transformer, a hybrid design or a solid-state device in the signal path. Many designers in the history of audio have tried to achieve this ‘Holy Grail’ type of amplifier but it was deemed impossible. After 30 years of experimentation \u0026amp; development, Fulvio unveiled his Alieno amplification system, which consists of a preamplifier and a choice of two power amplifiers. The audiophile world is still trying to make sense of his achievement and the lucky few who have heard the Alieno sound are saying it’s genre redefining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alieno 250 LTD is frankly a ground-breaking product that has no peer. There is simply nothing else in the world that has this technology or can deliver this performance. It is the first and only amplifier in the world utilising two 300B tubes generating 250W per channel. It is an OTL-OCL (Output Transformer Less \u0026amp; Output Capacitor Less) Single Ended, pure Class A amplifier. It is not a hybrid tube\/transistor amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this point, you cannot be blamed for thinking “Impossible, this is some kind of marketing hype!”. Spend a moment listening to this amplifier and you will realise that 30 years of uncompromising development has yielded something very special.

When listening to OTL (Output Transformer Less) designs which have eliminated the output transformer, you can hear the absence of the transformer (however traditional OTL designs have other issues).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a signal moves through an output transformer, it is converted into a magnetic field and subsequently\u003cbr\u003ere-converted back into an electrical signal. These two transformations result in a degradation of the signal which is heard as a loss of purity and immediacy in the sound. Eliminating the output transformer from the signal path is therefore extremely important if you are searching for ultimate transparency. In its absence, the true sound of tubes can be expressed in all their fullness. In fact, some of the flaws generally attributed to tubes, such as slowness, lack of impact \u0026amp; poor low frequency control, are to a large extent caused by the output transformer, not the tubes themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Ended Triode Circuitry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle Ended Triode (SET) circuitry is renowned for its magical musicality and notorious for its lack of power. The ideal amplifier for purity and clarity should combine the positive qualities of single-ended outputs with the elimination of an output transformer. It should also have sufficient output power to drive any reasonable load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese desires were Fulvio’s motivation for inventing the innovative circuitry of the LTD design. Output power comes from the power tube, while supplies to the load (voltage \u0026amp; current) are supported by Alieno’s unique semiconductor power supply process (current). With 250W per channel and generous amounts of current, the Alieno 250 LTD ensures authoritative control of speakers in any dynamic range, precisely tracking the complex impedance load demands of even the most difficult to drive loudspeakers, allowing the full freedom to choose their typology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nirvanasound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alieno-250LTD-front.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot a Traditional Hybrid Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alieno LTD technology differs profoundly from traditional circuits defined as ‘hybrid´ which in addition to the output tubes, also include the use of transistors. In a hybrid system, after voltage amplification by the tubes stages, the signal is then delivered to the solid-state section for current amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn hybrid designs, the tube is tasked with increasing the signal voltage only, but not its current. This generates a partial, but important, loss of the tube signature on the sound. This precious purity and tonal structure are the desirable aspects of single-ended sound which must not be lost if aiming at ultimate sound quality. The ‘magic’ of tube sound is thus only partially expressed in hybrid designs, since only the voltage modulation supplied to the loudspeaker has those tube qualities while the current supply adds the signature typical of transistors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, if we consider that although quantitatively inadequate to the direct driving of a speaker, the current supplied from a tube (not modified by the transformer´s influence) is at its core excellent for speed, impact and modulation, the ‘perfect amplifier’ would be designed with the ability to preserve 100% of these virtues and deliver them unchanged to the speaker connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllowing an Unlimited Choice of Speakers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alieno 250 LTD can drive any speaker, including the brands and models that are considered to be the most difficult speakers to match with an amplifier. With a damping factor that exceeds one hundred and a managed output current of approximately 200A, Alieno have created an output power capability that is enviable even for a transistor amplifier, let alone a single ended tube output stage. All this with NO negative feedback.

This design places very little stress on the tubes and they will last well beyond their typically rated five thousand hours.

The single power supply cord is the only sign that everything is housed within the one chassis.

Details frequently submerged in the sonic fabric surface with a delicacy and rightness that illumine what you’ve previously been missing. This holds true for intimate solo vocals, classical chamber music, and big-boned rock, jazz, orchestral music, and opera.

Each instrument drowned the room in dripping colour. The way the daRTzeel shows the differences in reverb speed, dynamics, and the layers of harmonic bloom that swirl around as the art of the luthier joins the circle is fascinating. If you think an acoustic guitar is a simple thing, then I assure you it is endlessly complex in both scale, speed, and tonality. When it comes to the sheer resolving power of the amplifier, then it goes way down to the sub-note level, and it does it effortlessly… …I loved my time with the daRTzeel amps as much as I have with any product over the years. The pair are not in any way ‘cheap’, but they are primarily so involving and musically enlivening that price becomes a secondary concern. They delivered such musical joy and involvement that it has indeed been a rare privilege to have them at home, and I was extremely sorry to see them leave.

Building a high-power amplifier is not difficult, but building one that can be at the summit of sound quality was quite a challenge and would require a significant investment in research, costly materials and state-of-the-art engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeet the darTZeel NHB-468 – Power with elegance and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese mono blocks are the most powerful amplifiers ever developed by darTZeel and sit at the pinnacle of their range. The NHB-468 highlights more than ever darTZeel’s considerable expertise: a generous power supply, a shielded transformer suspended by a dedicated platform, a chassis built from specially extruded aluminium components in line with darTZeel specifications, toughened glass side panels with a sanded logo and a cooling unit finished and polished by hand. Every detail makes the darTZeel NHB-468 an exceptional amplifier. The casing alone requires more than 80 hours of machining, with the same amount of time allocated to finishing, anodising and final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat care and expense has been invested into this design (9 years of R\u0026amp;D), all focussed on retaining all the musicality of the original signal. The NHB-468’s immense power supply ensures that they can cover the full dynamic range, providing effortless delivery from a few milliwatts through to a whopping kilowatt of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people have described the NHB-468 with the phrase “travel faster than the speed of thought” due to the unbelievable speed of the amplifier. For an amplifier to possess lightning speed yet with an organic tonality that some describe “like a great tube amp” and behemoth levels of control has previously thought to be impossible, sitting the NHB-468 squarely in the genre “state-of-the-art”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the scale of the engineering accomplishments of the NHB-468, what they were designed to do is play music and if judged even on that scale alone, they are astonishing, possessing rare attributes like giving the sensation that the music is wrapping around you, gifting each note with 3-dimensionality, creating a cavernous soundstage that feels so real and giving you the feeling that finally you really relate to this artist, or sympathise with their emotions. If there ever was such a thing as best amplifier on the planet, the darTZeel NHB-468 would be first to be nominated into the conversation.

Its sound quality is so breathtakingly good that I had to pinch myself through my listening sessions to remind myself I was awake, and not in some blissful audiophile dream. They’re certainly not cheap – though recent changes in Halcro’s distribution model and a streamlined paint process have reduced them from the launch price of AU$135,000 a pair to now a US dollar price of $69,990 a pair (around AU$91,000 as we write). But to describe the performance of the Halcro Eclipse Monos, I can do no better than echo the praise of Stereophile’s Paul Bolin, who in turn paraphrased Shakespeare to say: “Feed them the best, and the Halcros will give you an experience that is such stuff as dreams are made on”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/halcro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Halcro-Eclipse-Audio-Esoterica-Review-compressed-1.pdf\"\u003eRead Review\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \/ Tech Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower output into 4 ohms resistive \u0026gt; 500 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower output into 8 ohms resistive \u0026gt; 280 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Measured at 1kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion (Footnote 1)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt full power output, all harmonic distortion orders:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD \u0026lt;-120 dB (\u0026lt;300 parts per billion) up to 20 kHz (100 kHz B.W.) at 450 W into 4 ohms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD @ 1 kHz \u0026lt;-134 dB (\u0026lt;200 parts per billion).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor sum of 19 and 20 kHz tones, each delivering 112.5 W into 4 ohms = peak power 450W, resulting intermodulation products each \u0026lt;-120 dB relative to output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSMPTE-IM intermodulation products each\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;-120 dB relative to output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are four input modes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean unbalanced voltage mode input with an impedance of 22 kOhms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea balanced voltage mode input with an impedance of 22 kOhms + 22 kOhms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea current-mode input with a 60 Ohm input impedance (infinite impedance current source)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea minimal path voltage mode with an input impedance of 660 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voltage gain of the balanced and unbalanced inputs is 30 V\/V and for the minimal path mode is 15 V\/V.

Power enough for even the most demanding speakers. The S300 design marries the best of two worlds: an ultra linear high-current output power stage with a discrete Class A MOSFET based AnalogCell input stage. Between them, the S300 delivers powerful, authoritative control over the loudspeakers, while maintaining a perfectly layered soundstage under the most complex musical passages. Designed by PS Audio engineer Darren Myers, who invested hundreds of hours of tuning, voicing, and perfectionist tweaking, the results are extraordinarily musical.

Nothing in the design of a power amplifier is more important than its input stage when preserving music’s finest nuances. In the S300, a unique topology, called the Analog Cell, has been employed to preserve the rich details found in music. The Analog Cell is the heart of the S300’s musicality, where rich overlaid layers of music’s inner details are preserved even in the most complex orchestral crescendos. The Analog Cell is a proprietary, fully differential, zero feedback, discrete, Class A MOSFET circuit, hand-tuned to capture the smallest micro dynamics without sacrificing the loudest macro dynamics music has to offer. The Analog Cell makes all the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUTPUT STAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stellar S300 is a dual mono design. This means that each channel has its own, separate power supply. Each of the two channels is a complete and independent power supply and power amplification stage, based on a modern Class D ICE module, designed in Denmark. Class D output stages provide near-perfect linearity, low distortion, and high efficiency. Because Class D amplifiers require an output filter to remove their switching noise, they do not have frequency extremes into the many hundreds of thousands of Hertz. Depending on their design, modern Class D amplifiers, like the type used in Stellar, extend high frequencies to about 50kHz. Human hearing limitations are 20kHz, though most listeners rarely have hearing exceeding half that. The S300 provides excellent frequency extremes, low distortion, high efficiency, high damping factor, and a powerful output of 300 watts per channel into the most common loudspeaker loads of 4Ω.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTEREO POWER AMPLIFIER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDUAL MONO WITH SEPARATE POWER SUPPLIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePOWERFUL MOSFET OUTPUT STAGE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA SINGLE-ENDED INPUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR “TRUE” BALANCED INPUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e140 WATTS PER CHANNEL 8Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 WATTS PER CHANNEL 4Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2Ω STABLE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVERY LITTLE HEAT PRODUCTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026lt; 0.1% THD 20Hz – 20kHz AT RATED POWER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAMPING FACTOR \u0026gt; 550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRONT PANEL STANDBY BUTTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZERO-LOSS INPUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDUAL, COPPER, PLATED, OUTPUT BINDING POSTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 LBS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eINPUT 12 VOLT TRIGGER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of all these strengths gives the S300 a beautiful voice which mates well with the variety of upstream gear we had on hand for testing.

From the most subtle of details to unheard of explosive dynamics, Stellar M1200 represents the pinnacle of high powered musicality that must be heard to be believed.

When the orchestra gets loud and complex, or the band really starts to rock it out, most power amplifiers get out of their comfort zone and we hear their stress and strain as compression. The M1200 was designed to play any music into any loudspeaker with zero compression. Rated at 600 Watts into 8Ω and a whopping 1200 Watts into 4Ω, the M1200 combines the best of two worlds: ultra-linear, high-current, ICE Edge Class D technology for the output stage; and a discrete, Class-A vacuum tube for the all-important input stage. The M1200’s rich, warm, and beautifully nuanced reproduction of music comes first from the zero feedback, class A vacuum tube input stage. Here nothing is lost in its hand-selected 12AU7 vacuum tube, fed from its own analog power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE VACUUM TUBE INPUT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power amplifier is technology always present in stereo systems. Yet, despite the fact everyone uses them, few appreciate the power amp’s critical role in preserving music’s nuanced details because most amplifiers fail to preserve them. Overtones from plucked instruments, subtle cues defining placement, depth, soundstage width, and transient decays are often lost in the power amplifier. The M1200 loses nothing because of its vacuum tube input stage. In the M1200 a zero feedback class A vacuum tube input stage captures every whisper of music while preserving intact the most dynamic crescendos and quick rise time transients with zero loss. The listening experience with the M1200 is nothing short of a revelation. Where most amplifiers do their best to preserve dynamics, they fail to present them as if they were live. The M1200 eliminates the tendency of nearly every power amplifier to change its sonic character as the music gets louder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUTPUT STAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stellar M1200 has a massive power supply and ultra-linear, high-wattage power amplification stage based on a modern Class D ICE module. Class D output stages provide near-perfect linearity, low distortion, and high efficiency. Modern Class D amplifiers, like the type used in Stellar, extend high frequencies to about 50kHz. Human hearing limitations are 20kHz, though most listeners rarely have hearing exceeding half that. Providing excellent frequency extremes, low distortion, high efficiency, high damping factor, and a generous and powerful output of 1200 watts into the most common loudspeaker loads of 4Ω, the M1200 is nothing short of breathtaking. The massively powerful nature of the M1200 works well with any loudspeaker—big or small—providing huge amounts of headroom and effortless sound quality for even the most demanding orchestral crescendos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMONO POWER AMPLIFIER PAIR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZERO-LOSS TUBE INPUT STAGE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePOWERFUL MOSFET OUTPUT STAGE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA SINGLE ENDED INPUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR “TRUE” BALANCED INPUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600 WATTS PER CHANNEL 8Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1200 WATTS RMS INTO 4Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2Ω STABLE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eICE EDGE TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAMPING FACTOR \u0026gt; 1100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRONT PANEL STANDBY BUTTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVERY LITTLE HEAT PRODUCTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDUAL, SOLID, COPPER PLATED OUTPUT POSTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27LBS.

At its heart are the in-house made transformers used for attenuation. In addition, its valve state circuit combined with exquisite materials produce the finest and most elegant sound that any pre-amplifier could ever achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional wisdom suggests that the most critical part of a pre-amplifier is the active circuit design. However, Ypsilon believe that the means of signal attenuation (the volume control) is the most critical to the overall sound of a preamplifier. Most designers use resistor attenuators for volume control. Ypsilon have used resistor attenuators with high quality resistors (eg. Vishay) in the past but felt unsatisfied with the character they induced in the signal. Ypsilon developed a very special transformer as the means of attenuation, using special winding techniques and highest quality wires and cores. Its performance surpassed that of the best resistor attenuators. In a transformer the magnetic circuit can be ultra linear when the very best core materials are used. The sound of such materials is much more musical and detailed compared with the best resistors. A transformer attenuator with 31 taps is used in the PST100 mk2 providing a total attenuation of 54db in its lowest tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active gain stage is a no feedback S.E. C3M triode, transformer coupled. The power supply uses valve rectification (using the 6CA4) and choke filter. Wiring is point to point with custom made pure silver wire. The transformer attenuator is placed after the valve stage, preserving the purity and micro details of the signal. The gain is 16db. Output impedance is 150 Ω max.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePST 100 Mk2 TA is also available without the valve stage for systems that don’t require additional gain.

It is the full PMG Signature topology — Darren Myers's low-feedback design and the same state-of-the-art active power supply architecture found throughout the line — scaled in output rather than stripped in concept. Nothing in the signal path was simplified to hit a price. It is hand-assembled in Boulder, Colorado, and brought to perfection by Bob Stadtherr, held to the same standard as every amplifier that wears the Signature name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S200 is a single stereo chassis built for real rooms and real systems. One hundred watts per channel into 8 ohms, doubling into 4, is ample for efficient and moderately demanding loudspeakers — bookshelf monitors, stand-mounts, and full-sized floorstanders — in small to medium rooms. It is the ideal first step into the Signature Series, and for a great many listeners with sensible speakers in a dedicated space, it will prove to be the last amplifier you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass A Purity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of what we call \"high-end\" amplification is, in truth, Class AB: a small region of Class A operation at low power, and then a transition — a handoff between transistors — as the music grows louder. That transition is not free. At the crossover point, distortion artifacts appear, and the music briefly crosses a discontinuity it was never meant to encounter. Class A operation eliminates that handoff entirely. Every transistor conducts through the whole waveform; nothing ever switches off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason Class A is rare is cost. A Class A stage runs hot and consumes power continuously, even at idle, so most designs offer only a sliver of it. It is rare for a high-end amplifier to deliver even a single watt of true Class A before it slides into AB — and a great many that advertise \"Class A\" give the listener only a fraction of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S200 dedicates 10 watts of pure Class A bias to each channel. In real-world listening — efficient speakers, sensible rooms, the levels at which music is actually enjoyed — that 10-watt window covers roughly 20% of typical listening, and nearly all of the low-level detail where the ear listens hardest. The S200 is the most accessible amplifier in the PMG Signature Series, but its commitment to genuine Class A is not an accessible-tier commitment. It is the same engineering conviction that runs through every Signature amplifier, scaled to the system it was built to serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive Power Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a reason the most uncompromising amplifiers have always been monoblocks: one channel, one chassis, one power supply, and therefore nothing for that channel to fight with. A stereo amplifier gives up that isolation by definition — its two channels share a single power supply, and a demand from one can disturb the other. When a passive supply sags under a sudden current draw, both channels sag with it, and the stereo image pays the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S200 is a stereo amplifier that refuses to pay that high price, and the reason is the supply at its heart. Its two channels share a state-of-the-art active power supply — but an active supply does not behave like a passive one. It delivers far cleaner power and far greater current on demand, and it holds its output stiffer than any traditional supply. A transient on one channel drags the supply down only minimally, so it hardly impacts the other. The sharing becomes, in practical terms, invisible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the supply begins, Bob Stadtherr's engineering completes. Decades of experience went into the S200's internal layout — the grounding scheme, the placement of every stage, the mechanical structure — all arranged so the two channels stay electrically and magnetically apart. The result is a 100-watt-per-channel stereo amplifier, doubling cleanly into 4 ohms, whose channel separation approaches that of a true monoblock. The most accessible amplifier in the Signature Series gives up far less to its single-chassis form than its price suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Stage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final and most consequential choice in an amplifier's design is how much negative feedback to apply around its output stage. Feedback is a correction loop: it watches the output, compares it to the input, and cancels the difference. In large amounts it can push measured distortion on a steady test tone close to zero — an impressive specification. But music is not a steady tone. It is a continuous storm of transients, and a heavy feedback loop, forever reacting, is always a step behind it. The amplifier ends up chasing the music instead of passing it through cleanly, and the listener hears the difference as a loss of life and immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S200 is designed on the same conviction as every amplifier above it in the Signature Series: keep overall feedback strikingly low. The output stage is made linear by design, not by correction, so distortion stays uniformly low across the entire audible band without a heavy loop scrubbing away after it. Bandwidth extends well past 500 kHz, and transients arrive whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reward is the quality the entire Signature Series is named for: the amplifier disappears. At the S200's most accessible point of entry, nothing about that disappearing act has been diluted — the same musical priorities, the same engineering conviction, the same refusal to let the electronics be heard. Only the price of admission has changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cheader\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBench measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndependently verified across the tests that separate good amplifiers from great ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/S200_THD_N_vs_Frequency.jpg?v=1785048789\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion vs. Frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistortion vs. Frequency — This measurement tracks total harmonic distortion across the entire audio band, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, under four conditions: no load, 8 ohms, 4 ohms, and a punishing 2 ohms. The traces do vary — distortion climbs gently with frequency, and the hardest 2-ohm load runs highest — but the takeaway is simple. Even at its worst, the PMG's distortion stays a tiny fraction of one percent, far below the level of audability. Linearity held this tight, across every load, and achieved without adding negative feedback, is something perhaps one amplifier in a hundred can claim — which means distortion simply stops being part of the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/S200_19_20_kHz_Full_Scale_5_Watts.jpg?v=1785048789\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwin tone Intermodulation results\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwin tone Intermodulation results — Here the amplifier is fed two tones at once — 19 kHz and 20 kHz — and we look for everything it adds that shouldn't be there.

Those added tones are precisely what the ear registers as harshness, grain, and listening fatigue. The PMG produces almost none — the spectrum is essentially just the two original tones and silence.

You can see the result here: vertical edges, flat tops, no overshoot, no ringing. Real music is full of fast transients — the leading edge of a cymbal, the snap of a plucked string — and an amplifier too slow to follow them rounds those transients off and smears the detail. The PMG follows all of it.

In Class A operation every transistor conducts through the entire waveform and never switches off — no crossover point, no handoff between devices, no discontinuity for the music to cross. It is the most linear mode of amplification there is. It is also the most demanding: a Class A stage runs hot and draws power continuously, even in silence. That cost is why genuine Class A is so scarce. It is rare for a high-end amplifier to provide even a single watt of true Class A, and many that claim the term operate purely in it for only a fraction of a watt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S400 dedicates 5 watts of pure Class A bias to each of its two channels.

It is precisely there, in the delicate material, that crossover artifacts are most audible and most fatiguing — and precisely there that the S400 stays pure.

In a stereo chassis, both channels draw from it. When the left channel demands a sudden surge of current — a drum strike, a crescendo — that demand pulls on the supply the right channel is using too. On a conventional amplifier the supply voltage dips under the load, and the second channel is dragged a fraction off course. You can measure it as crosstalk; sometimes you can hear it, as a soundstage that narrows when the music turns complex. It is the historical reason monoblocks have long been considered the purer choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S400 closes that gap, and it begins with the power supply itself. A state-of-the-art active power supply delivers far cleaner power, and far greater current on demand, than any traditional transformer-based design — and it holds its output stiff under load. When one channel slams it with a transient, it sags very little, so the other channel sees only the smallest of the disturbance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest is layout. Bob Stadtherr, drawing on decades of amplifier engineering, arranged the S400's grounding, board topology, and mechanical structure so the two channels' currents never intermingle and neither can couple into the other. An active supply that rarely sags, and a layout engineered channel by channel: together they bring the S400 remarkably close to the separation of true monoblocks — 200 watts into 8 ohms per channel, doubling cleanly to 400 into 4, from a single chassis with a single power cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cheader\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBench measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndependently verified across the tests that separate good amplifiers from great ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/S200_THD_N_vs_Frequency.jpg?v=1785048789\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion vs. Frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistortion vs. Frequency — This measurement tracks total harmonic distortion across the entire audio band, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, under four conditions: no load, 8 ohms, 4 ohms, and a punishing 2 ohms.

Two hundred watts into 8 ohms — doubling to 400 into 4 — is enough authority for the overwhelming majority of high-performance loudspeakers, from efficient floorstanders to demanding modern transducers. It is the natural choice for the listener who wants genuine reference monoblock performance without the scale, or the cost, of the flagship. For most rooms and most speakers, the M400 will never be the limiting factor in the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass A purity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a number on most amplifier spec sheets that deserves far more scrutiny than it gets: the amount of pure Class A bias. Class A is the most linear mode an amplifier can operate in — every transistor conducting through the whole waveform, no crossover point, no handoff, no discontinuity. It is also the most costly, because a Class A stage runs hot and consumes power even at idle. So most amplifiers ration it severely. It is rare for a high-end design to offer even a single watt of true Class A before it slips into the compromises of Class AB — and many that proudly wear the \"Class A\" label give you only a fraction of one.\u003cbr\u003eThe M400 carries 30 watts of pure Class A bias. At the modest power levels where real music actually lives, that 30-watt window covers roughly 60% of normal listening — the great majority of every record you play. Within it, the amplifier never leaves its purest operating mode: no crossover distortion, no class-switching artifacts, no subtle shift in character as the volume rises and falls.\u003cbr\u003eThe result is what listeners mean when they describe an amplifier as \"natural\" — microdynamic detail that survives intact, instrumental textures that sound like the instruments themselves rather than an electronic approximation of them. The M400 does not borrow that quality from the flagship. It is built with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower scaled\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery quality an amplifier is praised for — its authority, its quiet, its sense of effortless control — traces back to one place: the power supply. It is the reservoir the music draws from, and the speed and cleanliness of that reservoir shapes the sound more than almost any other decision a designer makes. For half a century the industry has built that reservoir the same way: a large linear transformer feeding banks of capacitors. It works. But the transformer is the slowest element in the entire signal path, the capacitors cannot return charge without ripple, and the rectifier adds a burst of switching noise every time it conducts.\u003cbr\u003eThe M400 is built on a state-of-the-art active power supply — the same architecture that powers the M800, scaled precisely to the M400's 200-watt-into-8-ohm output. \"Scaled\" is the important word: nothing about the supply's behavior was compromised, only its size. It still delivers current the instant the output stage calls for it, with no rectifier noise, no sag under sustained load, and a residual noise floor low enough to leave the quietest passages genuinely silent.\u003cbr\u003eThat is why the M400 doubles its power cleanly into 4 ohms — 400 watts, on demand — without strain. Clean power doubling into a halving impedance is the audible signature of a supply with real reserves. The M400 has them, and it keeps its composure whether the music asks for a whisper or a wall of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe PMG disappears into the Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a measurement most amplifier makers are proud to quote: total harmonic distortion, driven to a vanishingly small number. What the number rarely reveals is how it was achieved. The usual method is large amounts of negative feedback — a correction loop wrapped around the output stage, constantly measuring its error and cancelling it. On a steady test tone, it works beautifully. On music, which is all transients and never steady, the correction always lags a little behind, and the cost is paid in harshness: the leading edge of a note hardens, the sense of a live event glares.\u003cbr\u003eThe M400 reaches its low distortion a different way. Darren Myers' topology is engineered to be highly linear before any feedback is applied at all — so only a small, gentle amount is needed to finish the job. This is what \"strikingly low overall feedback\" means in practice: not an amplifier that distorts more, but one that had far less to correct from the start.\u003cbr\u003eThe audible result is a signal path that stays open. Bandwidth extends well beyond 500 kHz, so transients pass through unhurried and uncolored. There is no phase smear, no faint haze of correction artifacts to surface later as listening fatigue. The M400 simply gets out of the way — and the longer you listen, the more clearly you understand that getting out of the way is the single hardest thing an amplifier can be asked to do\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cheader\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBench measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndependently verified across the tests that separate good amplifiers from great ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/S200_THD_N_vs_Frequency.jpg?v=1785048789\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion vs. Frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistortion vs. Frequency — This measurement tracks total harmonic distortion across the entire audio band, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, under four conditions: no load, 8 ohms, 4 ohms, and a punishing 2 ohms.

Where a conventional amplifier leans on a heavy passive transformer, the M800 is built around a state-of-the-art active power supply — a design that delivers current with a speed and stability no transformer-based supply can match. Around it sits Darren Myers' low-feedback current-based topology, chosen deliberately: the less an amplifier has to correct itself, the more honestly it passes the signal through. Every M800 is assembled and tested by hand in Boulder, Colorado, and brought into production by Bob Stadtherr — whose work ensures the amplifier you receive measures and sounds exactly like the one Darren designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach M800 is a monoblock — one chassis, one channel — sold as a pair for stereo. With 800 watts into 4 ohms and the current to double down without strain, a pair will drive virtually any loudspeaker made, from sensitive horns and electrostatics to the most demanding low-impedance reference designs. There is no speaker too difficult and no room too large. If you own loudspeakers that have humbled other amplifiers, the M800 is the pairing that ends the search.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass A purity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass A is the most linear way an amplifier can operate — and the most expensive. In a Class A output stage, every transistor conducts through the entire musical waveform and never switches off. There is no crossover point, no moment where one device hands off to another, no discontinuity for the music to stumble across. It is, simply, the purest mode of amplification known.\u003cbr\u003eIt is also brutally inefficient. A Class A stage runs hot and draws power continuously, even in silence, because its transistors are always fully active. That cost is why true Class A is so rare. It is rare for a high-end amplifier to deliver even a single watt of genuine, pure Class A — most designs that advertise the term operate in it for only a fraction of a watt before sliding into Class AB.\u003cbr\u003eThe M800 carries 50 watts of pure Class A bias. Fifty. Not a fraction of a watt, but fifty full watts before the output stage ever leaves its most linear region. For 99% of normal listening — and nearly all music lives well within that window — the M800 never crosses a notch, never sees a discontinuity, never asks its circuitry to correct an artifact it should not have created. What you hear is the natural texture of the recording: the body of a cello, the air around a voice, the decay of a struck cymbal, all intact. This is what Class A was always supposed to sound like. The M800 simply commits to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower is The Key\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA power amplifier is, fundamentally, an interface between a reservoir of energy and the loudspeaker. The character of that reservoir — how cleanly it stores energy, how instantly it can deliver it, how silent it is at rest — determines more about how an amplifier sounds than any other single design choice. For half a century, the high-end audio industry has approached this with passive supplies: large linear transformers feeding banks of electrolytic capacitors. The approach works. It also imposes real limitations. The transformer is the slowest element in the amplifier's signal path. The capacitors store charge but cannot return it without ripple. The rectifier introduces switching noise every time it transitions. And the entire arrangement is sized for a peak demand it will almost never actually see.\u003cbr\u003eThe M800 is built on a state-of-the-art active power supply that delivers performance benefits no traditional transformer-based passive supply can match. Instant transient response with no rectifier-induced noise. A vanishingly low residual noise floor. Total grip on the speaker at any output level. Full continuous output without sag. The active supply is the M800's foundation — silent, fast, and capable of delivering everything the output stage asks for the moment it asks for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe PMG disappears into the Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNegative feedback is the most powerful tool an amplifier designer has — and the most easily abused. Applied in large amounts, it can drive measured distortion on a steady-state test tone almost to zero. It looks spectacular on a spec sheet. But feedback works by continuously comparing the output to the input and correcting the difference, and that correction is never quite instantaneous. With music — which is nothing but transients, never a steady tone — heavy feedback always arrives a fraction late. The amplifier spends its life chasing the signal rather than following it. Transients lose their edge. Immediacy fades. The performance begins to feel like a recording of a performance.\u003cbr\u003eThe M800 is built on the opposite philosophy: strikingly low overall feedback. Because its output stage is already extraordinarily linear on its own — running deep in pure Class A, where correction is barely needed — the M800 does not have to lean on a heavy feedback loop to clean up after itself. Distortion stays uniformly low across the entire audible band not by aggressive correction, but because there was little to correct in the first place.\u003cbr\u003eWhat this produces is the M800's defining quality, and the hardest to put into words: it disappears. The electronics stop announcing themselves. The speakers and the source seem to dissolve, and what remains is the performance — present, immediate, and whole. Eight hundred watts of authority, delivered with the openness of a far smaller amplifier. The M800 gives you both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cheader\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBench measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndependently verified across the tests that separate good amplifiers from great ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/S200_THD_N_vs_Frequency.jpg?v=1785048789\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion vs. Frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistortion vs. Frequency — This measurement tracks total harmonic distortion across the entire audio band, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, under four conditions: no load, 8 ohms, 4 ohms, and a punishing 2 ohms. The traces do vary — distortion climbs gently with frequency, and the hardest 2-ohm load runs highest — but the takeaway is simple. Even at its worst, the PMG's distortion stays a tiny fraction of one percent, far below the level of audability. Linearity held this tight, across every load, and achieved without adding negative feedback, is something perhaps one amplifier in a hundred can claim — which means distortion simply stops being part of the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/pmg-twin-tone-imd.jpg?v=1785048788\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwin tone Intermodulation results\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwin tone Intermodulation results — Here the amplifier is fed two tones at once — 19 kHz and 20 kHz — and we look for everything it adds that shouldn't be there.

Those added tones are precisely what the ear registers as harshness, grain, and listening fatigue. The PMG produces almost none — the spectrum is essentially just the two original tones and silence.

We had been using well known expensive amps in all of our listening rooms and were quite happy with them, until we heard your mono blocks. These are the first amplifiers that we've ever used that we couldn't hear. It's amazing to listen to classical music and not notice that there's an amplifier working in the audio path. Power, clarity and frequency response are simply not an issue anymore. All of our clients who've worked in these listening rooms are equally amazed at the quality of the reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the M15's arrived they allowed us to economically equip another listening room with Bricasti amps by using the M15's for the rear channels in each room thus freeing up M28's for use in the front of the second room.

They are extremely transparent… all music emerges out of a completely black and quiet sonic background, thereby enhancing low-level detail. Further, these amps are very powerful, easily getting the best performance from my inefficient Magnepan 20.7s without any strain or sense of compression… Over time it became apparent that these amplifiers do not impose any particular sonic signature upon the music and, far more often than not, reveal air, space, and detail lost on lesser gear. Moreover, in the low frequencies the Eclipse amps seem to exceed the performance of many tube amplifiers in that they exhibit the power and tight control of high-power solid-state amplification, yet without dryness or loss of instrumental texture.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theabsolutesound.com\/articles\/aesthetix-atlas-eclipse-power-amplifier\"\u003eRead Review\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe HiFi Specialist, David Denyer, 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Eclipse amps also excelled at retrieving the passion of the performance… they show-cased the sheer exuberance of the performers; they were clearly having a great time and, as a listener, the fun was contagious.

Thus, surpassing any off-the-shelf solution in timing accuracy, jitter and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll these are brought up to life by exclusive to the S100 operating system and driver software, that ensures the smooth operation of the system as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything in this custom hardware design is powered by discrete, all linear regulators driven by in-house wound transformer and filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the operation of the S100, a mobile application has been developed that allows easy playback software selection and control of the functions of the device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect memory architecture, setting the benchmark in time accurate, noise and jitter free playback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-house engineered operating system, bringing the hardware into life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom-built computing hardware, all powered by discrete, linear regulators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive to S100 power supply with in-house wound transformer and choke filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompanion remote control application for iOS and Android platforms, enabling the listener to choose their favorite playback software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI2S (HDMI)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePCM up to 768k\/32bit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOAX\/AES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePCM up to 192k\/32bit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePCM up to 768k\/32bit, DSD up to DSD512 native\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNETWORK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGigabit Ethernet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOWER CONSUMPTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum 40 W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e400 × 135 × 330 mm (W × H × D)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15 Kgr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ypsilon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52191523045697,"sku":"YPS-S100","price":37000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/s100-photos-03-1536x1536.jpg?v=1788997400"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.magentaaudio.com.au\/collections\/power-amplifiers.oembed","provider":"Magenta Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
