If required, we also have a matching Donizetti Power Amplifier available - please just ask.\u003cbr\u003eAudio Analogue say….\u003cbr\u003eAudio Analogue was born in the beautiful corner of Tuscany between Pistoia, Lucca, and Pisa in 1995. The synergy between high-end audio experts, electronic engineers specialized in the most different fields of electronic design and commercial managers with many years of experience in different fields could only create the basis of what is Audio Analogue today: a company but above all one of the most popular brands in Italy and in the World able to satisfy the tastes of the most demanding audiophiles.\u003cbr\u003eProducts always fully MADE IN ITALY, in the heart, soul and substance, using mainly small and very qualified local industries and artisans to make the most of Italian excellence and grow the quality of our and their work. Devices completely hand-crafted, tested with first-class instrumentation, but also and above all with listening tests, always rediscovering the emotion of having created something that can in turn give emotions through listening to the favourite music.\u003cbr\u003eThe Bellini Anniversary preamplifier, the new born of Audio Analogue, designed in the Airtech laboratories, is part of the Anniversary line, re-proposing another of the historical products of Audio Analogue. The only thing in common between this new model and the previous versions of Bellini remains the name, while the project and the technical solutions used are completely new. Starting from the excellent base constituted by the preamp section of the Maestro Anniversary integrated amplifier, the novelties with respect to the latter are however multiple. The first is the power supply stage that has been completely redesigned using an inductive-capacitive filtering to minimize mains disturbs. The filter inductance has been designed and manufactured specifically for this device. The amplification stage, called SeGeSTA (Single Gain Stage Transconductance Amplifier), has been designed to make the preamplifier even quieter while keeping the structure completely balanced and without global feedback. The circuit has 4 layers and the positioning of the components has been carefully thought out to avoid crossings between the input and output signals and above all between the digital control signals and the sensitive analogue signals. The use of \"Audiograde\" components and internal wiring made with 7N OCC pure copper cables complete the picture.\u003cbr\u003eInductive power supply to reduce any type of disturb from the mains to the line stage, zero global feedback from input to output, fully differential circuit (differential input and differential output) with discrete components dual-mono configuration, digital volume control without operational amplifiers, relay input switches to minimize non-linearity, oversized military resistors to minimize thermal distortion, \"Audiograde\" capacitors based on Airtech specification, microcontroller management, Airtech internal wiring and gold plated connectors.\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003eChannels: 2\u003cbr\u003eRCA Inputs: 3\u003cbr\u003eXLR Inputs: 2\u003cbr\u003eUnbalanced Outputs: 2\u003cbr\u003eBalanced Outputs: 2\u003cbr\u003eInput Impedance: 47Kohm\u003cbr\u003eUnbalanced Output Gain: 5dB\u003cbr\u003eBalanced Output Gain: 11 dB\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response (attenuation 0.5dB): 200KHz\u003cbr\u003eUnbalanced Output Noise (Band 0 Hz - 8kHz): ≈24µV\u003cbr\u003eUnbalanced Output Noise (Band 0 Hz - 8kHz) - A weighted: ≈9µV\u003cbr\u003eBalanced Output Noise (Band 0 Hz - 8kHz): ≈37µV\u003cbr\u003eBalanced Output Noise (Band 0 Hz - 8kHz) - A weighted: ≈14µV\u003cbr\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio (0dB\/A weighted\/ref. 2Vrms) - unbalanced output: ≈107dB\u003cbr\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio (0dB\/A weighted\/ref. 2Vrms) - balanced output: ≈103dB\u003cbr\u003eStandby Power Consumption (230VAC): 0.7W\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 450 (W) x 380 (D) x 140 (H) mm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 12 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50986112352597,"sku":"7700ATH18A27","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_3076-scaled.jpg?v=1750865042"},{"product_id":"naim-nac-252-pre-amplifier-3","title":"Naim NAC 252 Pre Amplifier (2022)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn excellent example of this fantastic Naim NAC 252 Pre amplifier from 2022.

The CT5 composite triode preamp comes in good fully working condition, noting some probably age related marking to the top plate and the markings on the remote control are somewhat faded - please see photographs. It is supplied in original factory packaging along with remote control unit, manual, mains cable plus, our regular three month warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\nConrad Johnson Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the 1996 introduction of the Anniversary Reference Triode (ART), Conrad Johnson established a benchmark for line-stage preamplifier performance that reigned supreme for most of a decade. Reviewers were unanimous in their praise, proclaiming it the finest sounding preamplifier ever manufactured. In 2004, the ACT2 line stage brought new materials technology and refined power supply design to the composite triode circuit pioneered by the ART, once again elevating the state of the art. As has been our tradition at Conrad Johnson, these technological advances are now offered in a more cost effective near state of the art design, the CT5 composite triode preamplifier.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe composite triode circuit is a conceptually simple design - based on creating a single “super” triode by paralleling sections of individual tubes. In this way, the entire amplification circuit can be reduced to a single active stage, without buffers or feedback. Any active circuit element will colour the sound, whether the element is an amplifier or a buffer stage. By designing a line stage consisting of a single composite triode, we are able to reduce the circuit to the absolute minimum of a single active element. The result is an astonishing improvement in dynamics and dynamic shadings, as well as focus.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the CT5, the composite triode is comprised of two paralleled sections of ultra-high transconductance miniature twin-triode tubes. This circuit achieves a sufficiently low output impedance to drive most inter-connect\/amplifier combinations while eliminating any circuit element that might compromise its sonic purity. To realize the full potential of this amplifier stage, it is powered by a sophisticated discrete voltage regulator designed to completely isolate the audio signal from the power line.\u003cbr\u003e\nAll control functions of the CT5 operate through microprocessor-controlled relays. For the level control, the relays select combinations from a network of precision, low-noise metal foil resistors to effect loudness and balance changes in 100 steps of approximately 0.7dB per step. All switching and adjustment can be controlled by the unit’s remote control. A Theatre mode, which passes the input signal through at unity gain, makes it simple to incorporate the CT5 into a high quality home theatre system without compromising its two-channel performance.\u003cbr\u003e\nLike its bigger brother, the ACT2, the CT5 is constructed from the highest quality, carefully selected parts for unrivalled sonic performance and reliability. The same CJD Teflon capacitors that distinguish the ACT2 are used in the CT5 for output coupling and post-regulator power supply storage. All other capacitors in the audio circuits and related power supplies are polypropylene or polystyrene, and the resistors in these circuits (including the level control) are special low inductance, high-precision laser-trimmed metal foil resistors. Switches are sealed relays with gold-plated silver contacts. Input and output connectors are premium quality custom machined parts.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn our quest to recreate the glory of music without compromise, we at Conrad Johnson are dedicated to bridging the gulf between craft and art to create audio amplification components that do credit to music performances. Through meticulous engineering, careful specification of only the finest available component parts, and a painstaking attention to construction, we have created what we feel is a line-stage without rival in its class.

Born in 1945, Giovanni Maria Sacchetti devoted himself at an early age to the study and design of hi-fi systems, combining his interest in electronics with a passion for music inherited from his father, an expert pianist. After completing his studies in electronics, he devoted twenty-five years to teaching while at the same time designing and developing amplifiers for Unison Research.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first integrated amplifier he designed for Unison Research was the TRIODE20. Its successor, the SIMPLY TWO, was a key step forward in the company’s history – this legendary amplifier was instrumental in achieving great international success for Unison Research in a relatively short time.\u003cbr\u003e\nOur experience has increased over the years, along with our continuing research of high performance and high quality standards. This has led Unison Research to both historical achievements and great value when it comes to the development of our products. Best of all, we have achieved this through a completely Italian operation…from design to production.\u003cbr\u003e\nUnison Research is now recognized as the Italian leader in the production of tube amplifiers, and among the top ten in Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\nWe’ve taken what we’ve learned from designing our largest amplifiers, and applied to this small yet brilliant gem. The Simply Italy integrated amplifier builds on the legendary strengths of the Unison Research Simply Two, one of the most successful integrated amplifier designs in the world.

Now, VTL has significantly upgraded this preamp, using many of the technological innovations derived from the flagship TL-7.5 preamplifier. The result is a modern full-featured preamplifier that outperforms in every way, making it one of the top values of any tube preamplifier in its category.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe fundamental qualities that made the original TL-5.5 special—its all-tube design, the optional retrofittable phono stage, and its superb sonic characteristics—are unchanged. What’s new is the application of advanced audio technology sourced from VTL’s TL-7.5 Reference and TL-6.5 Signature preamplifiers. This technology uses a simple circuit topology with low negative feedback and a high current\/low impedance output stage in a low-noise microprocessor-based design. Top quality parts, fully balanced operation, and precision-regulated and shielded power supplies yield a full yet neutral sound with high resolution, transparency, speed and powerful dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e\nMuch of the engineering prowess inherent in these world-class preamps has been transferred to the new TL5.5. New fully regulated power supplies are similar to those of its bigger siblings and the unit is now fully balanced, for inputs as well as outputs. Similarly, VTL’s latest thinking from our new and acclaimed TP-6.5 Signature phono stage is now applied to the optional MC phono stage, which can be easily retrofitted internally. It offers 68dB of gain and a balanced output, with a JFET\/12AU7 high current MC stage (or high-grade stepup transformer), split-pole passive RIAA stage with a dual 12AX7 MM stage for maximum headroom voltage swing. Triple-precision power supply regulation and full gain and load setting with RIAA enhanced and rumble cut functions translate to a clean and quiet yet dynamic sound that brings vinyl to life!\u003cbr\u003e\nVTL has delivered on its goal of bringing advanced engineering and modern functionality to the new TL-5.5 Series II preamplifier. With the same highly intuitive user interface of the renowned TL-7.5 and 6.5, and a full-function remote, the new TL-5.5 is a pleasure to use. A rigid, well-shielded chassis yields quiet operation while bi-directional RS-232 serial interface allows for seamless integration into any audio system. A luxurious cosmetic makeover includes a sleek and visually striking precision-milled faceplate similar to those used on its much more expensive brethren.

Our example is in very good condition and supplied in original factory packaging along with remote control, manual, mains cable plus our normal 3 month warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\nRega Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Elicit-R is built to the highest standard and designed to deliver the best possible audio performance whilst remaining simple to use and easy to setup.\u003cbr\u003e\nOur recent development work in amplifier design circuitry has allowed us to further advance the Elicit-R performance by using new and improved power amplifier circuits (based around the hugely successful Rega Brio-R amplifier) combined with FET II discrete line pre-amplifiers and a programmable stepped attenuator volume control.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Elicit-R includes a high quality, built in, moving magnet phono stage which can be switched off by the user if so required. A simple switch on the rear panel switches to a secondary input socket at line level. This socket can be used with any line level product; however, the circuit has dedicated isolation making it ideal for an external phono stage such as the Rega Aria MM\/MC.\u003cbr\u003e\nThese features coupled with Polypropylene capacitors (used throughout the signal path), improved power supplies, increased output power to 100 Watts per channel, all housed in a brand new custom Rega designed case, combine to give the best performance Elicit to date.\u003cbr\u003e\nOur time, effort \u0026amp; money has been spent on developing the circuit and construction, utilizing the highest specification of components throughout. As part of the design, we have included useful features such as the switchable phono input, to enable the new Elicit-R amplifier to be used in a wide combination of systems and have avoided superfluous gadgets such as tone controls or a headphone socket as they can obstruct the signal path and degrade the sound quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Elicit-R amplifier further advances the performance of the Elicit II by combining the Brio-R power amplifier circuit, the Elicit II FET discrete line pre-amplifier circuit and a stepped attenuator volume control. Improvements have also been made to the Brio-R power amplifier circuit which includes better power supplies and an increase in the output power to 100Watts per channel.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Elicit-R has been built to Rega’s high standards of reliability and quality to ensure many years of musical enjoyment. The primary function of an amplifier is to boost and equalize the low level signal generated by a phono cartridge, CD player or other source component to a level that can drive the loudspeakers. It is vital that the amplifier achieves this whilst minimising distortion, as this would directly affect the music.\u003cbr\u003e\nA few extravagantly priced, exotic, high-end amplifiers have used volume controls with a few dozen switched resistors to alter volume levels. The Elicit-R uses a custom chip which contains 1024 resistors which alter volume and simultaneously retain correct input impedance. Only the resistors operate in the audio\/music circuit. The programmed control and volume encoder are entirely separate, so the analogue music quality is not affected.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe output amplifier used in the Elicit-R and Brio-R was born after extensive research by our engineers to develop a low source impedance emitter follower Class-A driver stage.

The technical and sonic improvement gained by the use of low impedance drivers is well known, however, it can feature high standing currents in the driver stage when using standard transistor configurations. By combining the low impedance driver with the Sanken Darlington transistors (with their imbedded thermal bias network running at a lower standing current), this combination forms a complementary emitter follower emulating Class-A conditions with good thermal stability and lower standing currents in the driver stage.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nPower output: 105 watts per channel into 8 Ω (stereo)\u003cbr\u003e\nFrequency response: 10 Hz to 85 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\nTotal harmonic distortion: 0.01%\u003cbr\u003e\nInput sensitivity: 2 mV (MM), 196 mV (line)\u003cbr\u003e\nOutput: 196 mV (line), 0.76 V (Pre out)\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeaker load impedance: 4 Ω (minimum)\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 432 (W) x 340 (D) x 82 (H) mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 13.0 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50986484105557,"sku":"00456","price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_3839-scaled.jpg?v=1750872162"},{"product_id":"atc-ca2-pre-amplifier","title":"ATC CA2 Pre Amplifier","description":"\u003cp\u003eA few years ago, highly regarded British speaker manufacturer ATC decided to branch out into building electronic equipment, or did they? Well, no not really! They’d been putting full amplification into their speakers from the mid-eighties, but it wasn’t until the nineties that they decided to build standalone units. The CA2 Pre-Amplifier, an example of which we have here, has MM Phono stage fitted, and is in very good condition.

At that time few preamplifiers were capable of driving the long lengths of cable often necessary to link electronics to active loudspeakers. In its ongoing quest for ultimate performance and value ATC’s solution was to develop a preamplifier that could! The result was the SCA2 – a true hi-fi preamplifier offering unparalleled audio performance, transparency and current drive ability.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe CA2 – a simpler design yet still offering exceptional performance – is derived from the ‘high-end’ SCA2 and maintains its exceptional performance, but with fewer features. It is equally adept at driving active loudspeakers or paired with one of ATC’s power amplifiers and a wide range of inputs and outputs ensure outstanding compatibility with a very wide range of partnering equipment.\u003cbr\u003e\nToday, ATC’s portfolio of high-end audio electronic products continues to expand… from the breathtaking CA2 preamplifier to the exquisite P2 power amplifier.\u003cbr\u003e\nThese outstanding components offer music lovers an exceptional combination of performance and functionality.

In our view many commonly accepted parameters have little to do with loss of information and in some instances, such as the pursuit of large bandwidths or low distortion, unqualified acceptance of them can actually lead to the creation of mechanisms that bring such losses about. Dynamic output impedance, open loop bandwidth, slew rate, propagation delay and stability margins are only some of the many factors to which we attach Importance, and which must all be brought into positive balance.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith this balance in view, our amplifiers not only achieve low harmonic distortion, low noise and wide power bandwidth, but also have a constant dynamic output impedance over the whole audio bandwidth. They are able to drive reactive loads without any appreciable change in distortion and are not sensitive to the absolute impedance of the load.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe frequency response of our amplifiers at the bass end is dependent on the gain decoupling capacitor, and the half power bandwidth extends to below 5Hz. At the top end the response is controlled by a passive single pole filter and is 3dB down at 40kHz. The amplifiers do not slew rate limit within this frequency bandwidth.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe amplifiers will tolerate any load from 0 ohms to infinity without damage or instability, the output stages being protected by circuitry that measures the power dissipated. Prolonged running al high dissipation will cause the NAP 135 to become quite warm and should the heatsink temperature exceed 70°C the mains supply will be interrupted until the amplifier has cooled down.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe cases of the power amplifiers are all constructed in a similar way, using a heavy aluminium extrusion, which acts as a heatsink, to form the outer cover for an inner chassis inside which the entire amplifier is assembled.

It is a step forward in sound quality of ‘Lingo’ proportions. Its name, a Scottish word for a marker placed at the summit of a mountain reflects its performance – and not just with turntables. It is equally impressive with CD, Tuner, TV, or any other source.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Kairn develops innovative ideas introduced with the LK1 pre-amp, including solid state switching (which avoids noise introduced by mechanical control) microprocessor control and remote-control operation.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith 7 source inputs the Kairn allows users to keep their options open for the future. The preamp is equipped to deal with distributed and multi-room systems, and the 3-line outputs avoid the need for special adapters with multi-amplifier systems. (A number of advanced user features are also incorporated which allow the owner to programme the Kairn to suit their personal preferences.)\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Kairn is designed to be operated principally by remote control and indeed the front panel controls are concealed by a door. The handset with dedicated buttons for all operations makes it extremely easy to use. The remote-control receiver in the pre-amp is very sensitive so the handset can control the Kairn from virtually anywhere in the room. This handset also controls the Linn Kremlin tuner, and as it uses the RC5 standard it will also control most European CD players.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Linn Kairn represents a new generation in preamplifiers.

And as always, don’t forget this product, like many from Cyrus, can be upgraded with a PSX-R power supply, please check for availability?\u003cbr\u003e\nCyrus Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Cyrus 7 is a powerful integrated amp and system controller. Upgradeable in many directions this flexible unit will form the cornerstone of your system and provide access into our AV and multiroom systems. A simple MC BUS™ connection to other Cyrus products in the system allows complex system switching (even large systems including AV and multiroom) to be operated simply and without fuss. PSX-R upgradeable.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Cyrus 7 was the latest evolution in a line of respected amplifiers from the Cyrus marque at the time. This amplifier builds on the traditional Cyrus benefits of superb sound quality, technical excellence, and system flexibility as the core of a quality audio system. With a selection of partnering Cyrus source components and system extensions for multi-room or audio-visual applications, the Cyrus 7 is a welcome addition to the versatile Cyrus range.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith access to the latest Computer Aided Design tools and electronic modelling techniques the Cyrus team crossed new boundaries in establishing new circuit topologies for inclusion in the Cyrus 7. Traditional Cyrus technical standards such as short-path signal routing techniques and the use of micro-miniature SMD components are upheld and further refined for this design. At the completion of the design phase is an extensive program of listening trials to fine tune the sound of the amplifier. For these rigorous tests all styles of music are used with a wide selection of high quality ancillary components.\u003cbr\u003e\nA new high-efficiency power amplifier circuit which packs 60W of stereo power into the stylish Cyrus case. The power amplifier employs single substrate input transistors for consistent operating conditions and a new fast-bias output stage to deliver consistently low crossover distortion and minimise transient thermal distortions. A speaker compensation network optimises the interface between the amplifier and loudspeaker. Twin terminals are included for convenient bi-wiring connection.\u003cbr\u003e\nA dedicated high current headphone amplifier drives a full size ¼” jack socket located on the rear panel of the unit. A separate front panel control to select headphone listening and mute the loudspeakers allows headphones to be permanently connected to the Cyrus 7. The intelligent control system monitors the connection of headphones to the socket at all times and will restore sound through the loudspeakers if the headphones are disconnected.\u003cbr\u003e\nA sophisticated 180VA toroidal power transformer forms the essential part of the Cyrus 7 advanced linear Power supply system. The “zero-mechanical-noise” core design of this transformer ensures high performance within an unusually wide AC mains voltage.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Cyrus 7 includes a smart electronic management system which enables the use of a full function remote control handset and provides many other useful benefits such as the MC-BUS™ system, fast acting overload protection and control of a PSX-R, the optional intelligent power supply. A fully electronic silent standby mode reduces standby consumption power to a minimum when not in use.\u003cbr\u003e\nA natural upgrade path for the Cyrus 7 owner is the acquisition of an optional PSX-R external DC Power supply. This unique and intelligent component allows the Cyrus 7 to tap into a massive reserve of highly regulated DC energy source. Separating signal from control supplies, the PSX-R totally eliminates mains borne and charging spike imprints onto the sensitive sections of the amplifier. This, of course, translates into an even smoother mid and top end with faster and weightier bass response, essential for a large-scale system.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe unique MC-BUS connectivity of the Cyrus 7 is in keeping with the total system approach of the Cyrus range of products. This facility enhances ergonomic operation of the unit in a system context. Total automation of the factory test phase of Cyrus 7 is facilitated via the MC-Bus during its manufacturing process, eliminating potential human error.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe quality lightweight die-cast enclosure of the Cyrus 7 has a myriad of advantages both electrically and mechanically. The non-resonant nature of the alloy minimises microphonic effects, while its nonferrous composition provides an effective shield from external electro-magnetic disturbances.

In short, the sense of being there with the performers.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe P20 comes with a high-quality system remote control, milled out of one solid piece of aluminium. It has the same bead blasted and anodized surface finish as the preamplifier itself. You can really feel the quality of each part of the P20; not only hear it. There is a total of 5 regular inputs. Both balanced and unbalanced. In addition, a special Home Theatre input allows integration in Home Theatre systems. Finally, there are both balanced and unbalanced outputs as well as a fixed line-level output.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe idea behind the P20 was, as mentioned, to offer a more affordable entry into our line of separates. But most of all, it was to set a new standard of price and performance in preamplifiers. Something we think we have achieved. The preamplifier is perhaps the most delicate unit in a sound system. Because the signal levels are so low, even the tiniest levels of noise or distortion smear the image and mask the small details that enliven the music.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn designing the P20, we achieved the highest quality of sound at such a low price point by using brand new technologies, such as Silicon Germanium transistors. In addition, we implemented high-frequency components that were not originally designed for audio, and use them in ways that had never been done before. The result is an open and natural sounding preamplifier at a very competitive price.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\nInputs: 1 x XLR balanced, 4 x RCA unbalanced and Home Theatre inputs\u003cbr\u003e\nOutputs: 1 x XLR balanced, 1 x RCA unbalanced and 1 x RCA recording outputs\u003cbr\u003e\nSignal to noise ratio: More than 130 dB balanced mode\u003cbr\u003e\nCrosstalk: Less than -100 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nDistortion: Less than 0.005%\u003cbr\u003e\nIntermodulation: Less than 0.01% (19 kHz + 20 kHz)\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Black\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 430 (W) x 300 (D) x 80 (H) mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight 10.0 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50986699751765,"sku":"P20-43A306","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_7444-scaled.jpg?v=1750877261"},{"product_id":"cyrus-i7-xr-integrated-amplifier-phantom-black","title":"Cyrus i7-XR Integrated Amplifier - Phantom Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere we have a nice example of the i7-XR amplifier from British brand Cyrus.

It has an understated elegance which lies beneath its smooth curves and lustrous finish, referencing the time when vacuum tubes ruled the electronics industry and Peter Walker was considered by many to be the master of audiophile design.\u003cbr\u003e\nAll QUAD products are expected to last a lifetime – even longer. Many QUAD customers still derive immense pleasure listening to products built only fifty years ago. The new QUAD II Classic Integrated amplifier is no exception, and with periodic servicing and a caring hand, you can expect its performance to continue for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a faithful reproduction of the original mono amplifier – the new QUAD II Classic offers audiophiles the chance to recreate the spirit and atmosphere produced by one of the most famous amplifiers in audio history. Peter’s circuit, notably the design of the output transformer has become of legendary status – analysed by the finest minds in the industry.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe QUAD II classic has been recreated accurately with output valves and input valves the equivalent of those used in the original.

It is fitted with 323\/5 moving coil phono boards and comes professionally packaged with our usual three month warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\nNaim Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nThe preamplifier has a whole series of complex and vital tasks. Input circuitry must accept the entire output of the source without being overloaded. Frequency response and level of input signals must be normalised. The signal then needs further conditioning ensuring that the power amplifier is never driven outside its correct operating parameters. Our phono circuit has a linear first stage with relatively low gain, after which RIAA equalisation is split into two parts. The simplicity of the solutions then available allows an unusually wide open loop bandwidth together with perfect stability under every operating condition possible. Exceptional overload capability is maintained over the whole audio bandwidth. We do not fit switched filters, tone, or loudness controls. Design at this level makes them superfluous. They can never improve the quality of the signal, and there is a sharp penalty for their use in terms of loss of musical information.\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you have precious but scratched records our preamplification will bring them to life again without degrading the music. The magnetic field radiated by a transformer interferes with sensitive circuits, so our preamplifiers use a remote power supply to ensure faultless performance. Correct earthing is a further advantage. BNC sockets are used for interconnection with pick-up cartridges. We choose them in preference to the more commonly used RCA socket because their impedance is better suited to the majority of arm cables. The precision engineered volume control gives a very large range with both channels closely matched even at the lowest settings. Cermet tracks and precious metal wipers help to ensure a long and trouble free life. Special circuitry delays output until normal operating conditions are reached after switch-on. Our preamplifiers have a frequency response to within 1 dB between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. All distortions will remain below one-thousandth part of the required signal.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 72 is our most advanced preamplifier with full facilities – two tape inputs, tape monitor, tuner, and two fully convertible inputs for phono, CD, or other ancillary equipment.
