Phasemation EA-550 Phono Monoblocks (Pair)

£6,995.00

A pair of highly sophisticated phono monoblocks (2 units), all discreet, all-stage symmetric non-feedback circuit that draws out the music’s reality and the artist’s passion

The design brief for the EA 550 was to eliminate the smallest discrepancies by utilising a pair of semiconductor phono amplifiers. In addition, the built-in MC transformer was newly designed incorporating a special split winding structure that uses a high pure copper wire PC-TripleC as the secondary winding material.

Description

Main Features

Strong chassis structure of a 2 unit box with Lch and Rch being independent and completely monaural.

V-I / I-V conversion type all-stage symmetrical non-feedback amplifying circuit due to all discreet parts.

Three input terminals are equipped and MM/MC switching is possible for each. In addition, inputs 1 and 2 support balanced inputs due to the XLR connector.

A 2nd order CR type low cut filter with non-feedback is equipped. Plays warped phonograph records without any music deterioration and prevents the speakers (woofers) from shaking.

Three types of playing curve changeover switches are equipped. For the equalizer characteristics, along with the RIAA characteristics for the previous stereo, Mono1 (used on the DECCA label and so forth) and Mono2 (used on the Colombia label and so forth) are equipped as a particular characteristic for a monaural. This will allow higher fidelity playback than the DECCA and Columbia labels.

A “degaussed” circuit is equipped.
By choosing “degauss” with the functions and playing the record for about 30 seconds, the MC cartridge with a metal core that was magnetized is degaussed and the sound quality becomes clear.

Ex-Dem Pass Labs XP-22 Preamplifier

Original price was: £9,975.00.Current price is: £8,500.00.
The new design uses double-shielded low noise toroidal transformers in external supply The new design uses double-shielded low noise toroidal transformers in an external supply connected via aviation-grade circular connectors using silver over oxygen-free copper. The power supply is dual mono with two transformers with lower radiated and mechanical noise. Noise is the most prominent part of THD+N at low levels, so by lowering noise we get better resolution and dynamics. The gain circuitry continues to use our favorite transistors from Toshiba but has a larger, higher biased, output stage like the Xs Preamp, and includes auto bias. The larger output stage makes longer, and multiple cable runs easier to drive and gives us the advantage of simplifying our single-ended output circuitry while increasing performance. The volume control is a single stage instead of two stages and has more range; it is quieter and more accurate. This is the same volume control as used in the XP-30. Overall this makes for a quieter, more neutral, musical, and versatile control center for your system. The XP-22 measures spectacularly well — but it really stands out sonically.

First Watt F7 Power Amplifier

£4,000.00
The F7 is a very unique power amplifier.
Aa two-stage push-pull JFET/MOSFET topology with fewer parts than any First Watt amplifier to date and incorporating a very interesting balance of very low negative voltage feedback and a little bit of positive current feedback to give an astonishing measure of control over reactive loudspeaker loads.
   

First Watt SIT-4 Power Amplifier

£4,995.00
The SIT-4 is the First Watt power amplifier using the industrial grade Static Induction Transistors. It is preceded by the ground breaking SIT-1, 2, and 3 and follows their technical philosophy and construction. An important difference in the SIT-4 is the SIT device itself. The previous three designs used Silicon Carbide to make a custom vertical power Jfet with a low impedance Drain whose character nicely emulated a power Triode tube, but directly operating at the current and voltage that would drive loudspeakers without the requirement for an output transformer. SITs lend themselves to high quality audio performance with very simple Class A circuits with little or no dependence on other active circuit elements or negative feedback.

First Watt Sit-5 Power Amplifier

£4,995.00
The SIT-5 is the most recent amplifier produced by First Watt, and is the fifth to use a Static Induction Transistor (SIT) as the power amplifying device. In 2011 we introduced our first SIT amplifier using a custom Silicon Carbide (SiC) transistor part made by SemiSouth. The amplifier also used a single power device, operating without feedback in single-ended Class A Common-Source mode to deliver 10 watts of power emulating the characteristic of a Triode, but operating at voltage and currents directly needed by loudspeakers, eliminating the output transformer.
