Puresound A10 Integrated Amplifier

Here we have a classically styled class A, A10 integrated amplifier from Puresound. Limited to just two inputs (CD and Aux) and only 10 Watts of power this is as simple as an amplifier gets, but it is designed to produce superb audio performance. Our example is in good fully working condition and will be supplied in its original factory packaging. Also provided is a copy of the manual, a mains cable and our standard three month warranty.
Puresound Say….
The Pure Sound A10 was developed to meet a need for a compact and relatively affordable Class A amplifier that would be compatible with high quality, high sensitivity loudspeakers. The A10 is a line level integrated design that allows for the selection of 2 different source components and control of the volume via a high quality film
potentiometer. Class A operation was chosen because it gives lower distortion and a more relaxing, natural sound.
The amplifier uses the 6P14 output valves (an equivalent of the EL84/6BQ5) in an Ultra Linear push pull configuration. This arrangement gives a combination of power and clarity that is difficult to beat. There is a charming quality about the way this family of pentodes reproduce music. The amplifier uses an Auto Bias system, which means that replacement output valves should be fitted as matched pairs. There will be no need to reset or monitor bias conditions.
Very high quality components are used throughout including selected carbon film resistors and polypropylene signal coupling capacitors. All of the input sockets and speaker terminals are gold plated to ensure good quality electrical contact in the long term.
The output can be configured for use with 4 or 8 Ohm loudspeakers.
The A10 may also be used as a very high quality stereo power amplifier if the volume control is turned up fully.
