Copland CTA 501 Integrated Amplifier – Black

Here we have a fine CTA 501 valve power amplifier from Danish hi-fi specialists Copland. It also features a single direct line level input and volume control which would make for a nice simple Compact Disc system, or it can be connected in the more usual way to a pre-amplifier for a more conventional multi-source system. This versatile unit is in good condition with original packaging, mains cable and our standard three month warranty.
Copland Say….
The CTA 501 power amplifier is based on the design and composition, which already has proven its outstanding performance in the CTA 401 integrated amplifier.
All components are carefully selected. The audio stages are composed exclusively of polypropylene capacitors and metal film resistors. The vacuum tubes, chosen for the low level section are the E82CC and E83CC, which is a superior and highly reliable professional version, of the more common used ECC82/83 tubes.
The high input sensitivity of the CTA 501 allows a CD player, to be connected directly through a selector on the front panel to the level control in the first stage of the amplifier. In order to ensure maximum performance from the CD media, we highly recommend this feature, which eliminates any coloration in sound introduced by a preamplifier.
Copland CTA 501 reveals great openness over the entire frequency range. The sound stage is spacious with depth of image. There is an excellent definition of the individual instruments.
