They have 6 inputs, Coax,BNC,AES and Optical capable of PCM 24\/192 and USB and I2S through HDMI connector capable of PCM 24\/384. The USB can accept also DSD music files from a computer or server up to DSD256 and convert them natively without converting to PCM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PCM converter is made in house with discrete fast logic and resistors that comprise the R2R network.

It was observed that when active RIAA equalisation is used, a feedback loop exists and the RIAA network is in this feedback loop. RIAA equaliser circuits are commonly implemented with capacitors and resistors (CR networks) but this presents further challenges. Capacitors by their very nature exhibit ‘dielectric absorption’ characteristics. Energy is stored in the dielectric material and then is added to the signal with a small delay, which produces a ‘ringing’ characteristic in fundamental notes. These ringing sonic artefacts can be noticed especially in piano notes and result in a slight smearing effect. In the past an alternative way of implementing a RIAA equalizer the LCR (Inductance-capacitance-resistance) circuit was proposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA long time ago, TANGO transformers from Japan used to produce such a circuit working in 600Ohms. A few manufacturers are using LCR based phono stages using variations of the original TANGO LCR circuit. The challenge with 600 ohm LCR EQ is to drive the network properly; having no more than 2 gain stages with enough overall gain and low enough output impedance. The best way of driving the LCR network is by using a transformer. Ypsilon design and build the transformers using a special amorphous c-core material. Winding insulation is paper. A properly implemented LCR RIAA sounds much more natural, musical and open with better defined macro and micro dynamics in comparison to CR networks. The LCR networks most commonly used are based in double T-filter networks. One T-filter forms the 50-500Hz poles and the second T-filter forms the 2,123Hz pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the VPS-100 design, Ypsilon took this approach to another level. The 2,123Hz pole is formed by an air core inductor with practically no stray capacitance at the first gain stage and the 50-500Hz poles are formed at a high signal level directly at the output of the second gain stage. This unique topology is a split RIAA design using two gain stages based on the SIEMENS C3g tube. These tubes are very reliable as they are specified for over 10,000 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power supply uses the 6CA4 rectifier tube and a choke filter. The heaters for the tubes are AC in the second stage and DC passive regulated for the first stage. The construction uses no printed circuit boards and is point to point silver wired using Ypsilon’s own extruded and annealed to spec silver wire. Special attention is paid to mechanically de-couple the first gain stage and 2123 pole coils using a specially designed decoupling system. The rest of the construction is mounted on an aluminium sub-chassis that forms together with the aluminium bottom plate a very rigid platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn late 2023, Ypsilon released the Mk2 version of the VPS-100.

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.

It uses a specially designed S-E mosfet output stage directly coupled at the output using a double C-core amorphous choke as the DC current path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith only 2 gain stages in the signal path, the level of immediacy and transparency is unequalled by designs using more than 2 gain stages. Having no overall feedback, the distortion is kept comparably low while the output impedance is sufficient enough to drive real-world loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first stage uses a high transconductance triode, the SIEMENS EC8010 selected for its sonic capabilities and reliability. It is powered by a separate power supply with tube rectification and choke regulation. This stage is transformer coupled with the output stage. This inter-stage transformer is a state-of-the-art component which uses a proprietary double c-core material and an optimized unique winding design. Sonically it is an invisible component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power supply is designed as a system paying attention to every smallest detail that could affect the sound quality. A low noise E-I power transformer, a big size power supply choke and 4 pole electrolytic capacitors are used in this design. It is also hard wired with silver wire. Mechanical, magnetic and electrical noise is extremely low which contributes to the quiet operation of the system. The low noise floor is extraordinary. The output stage and all internal wiring are hard wired with silver wire extruded to Ypsilon’s specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany experienced audiophiles believe that the perfect amplifier would have the immediacy, delicacy, tone and realism of a SET along with the power and drive capability of a large solid-state amplifier. Achieving those attributes in the one amplifier has been thought of as being impossible so the ‘perfect amplifier’ remains a dream. Until Now!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SET 100 is an amplifier that produces music in its true natural scale, but above all it brings you as close as possible to the musical event or artist’s message, to feel the music rather than hear it, to be touched and overwhelmed by a deeper, more intimate feeling. Compared with conventional amplifiers, the SET100 it is more direct sounding, more musical, with more instrument body, more ‘chest’ in the voice, a lower frequency extension, frightening dynamics and most of all magically three dimensional. These sets of qualities place the SET100 at the pinnacle of amplifier design and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wAXcoXopAFo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDagogo, Constantine Soo, 2009\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is no longer of any consequence whether you are a SET aficionado or not, or if your beloved loudspeakers are efficient enough for SET amplification.

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.
