Quality Components, hand matched:
- Inductors. Jensen air cored copper foil inductors are manufactured
in Denmark. Foil inductors have better 'skin' properties than wire wound
coils, ensuring your low frequency sounds arrive in much better shape and
depth. They are air cored to avoid any distortion from the ferrite cores
found in most inductor coils. Insulation is by natural waxed paper to eliminate
all dielectric effects. Finally the inductors are mounted using special
lathed wooden bobbins to minimise vibration. These inductors are large,
typically measuring 8cm in diameter by 3cm high.
- Capacitors. All our capacitors have a high voltage capability, this
means better signal transmission, which is critical for audio usage. We
have specified Polypropylene metallised film Audyn capacitors manufactured
in Germany. The Audiophile board has MKP Q4s rated at 400vdc with 5% tolerance. The Audiophile Plus board has Plus Caps rated at 800vdc with 2% tolerance, featuring induction free windings and an enhanced internal connection system.
- Resistors. All our resistors are inductance free to prevent
degradation of high frequency signals. The Audiophile board has German made
Intertechnik MOX resistors rated at 10W, The Audiophile Plus board has American
Caddock MV311 power film resistors featuring a patented inductance free
technology, rated at 10W. Both offer a large upgrade against the treble graining wire wound ceramic types used in crossovers.
- Printed Circuit Board. After one year of development we have now released
a high performance PCB for the Plus version. This board features a simplified
track design which has increased performance further. This is based on the
wide signal track board of the Audiophile version. Both feature heavy duty
4mm fibreglass PCB.
Housing. The housing plays an integral part of the units overall performance.
- All Aluminium case
- Foam insert to dampen airborne vibration inside the housing
- Sorbothane® circuit board mounting to eliminate vibration from the main circuit board. (Plus version only)
- Wooden 'cone' feet to minimise transmission of vibration to the housing. (Plus version only)
- Dimensions 430 x 410 x 130 mm (wdh)
- Weight 7.5kg
Connectors and internal wiring
- Low mass high current 4mm banana sockets on all inputs
- Neutrik Speakon lockable bridges with silver cable (optional use as inputs)
- Heavy duty, high purity copper internal wiring, silver plated on the Audiophile Plus version
