Our long journey evaluating nearly all available technologies and components, passive or active, in our quest to push the limits of musical reproduction, led us to the development and integration of transformers in amplification circuits. We realized that by using high quality transformers as coupling devices it was possible to overcome the performance boundaries in an amplification stage, whether it’s a solid stage or valve design. After studying the theory and gained experience from the past in transformer winding art, we are now building our own transformers tailored to the specific needs in a given design. This way we are able to optimize the end result and integrate the transformer with the active devices tubes or solid state, achieving results unobtainable without their use.
We implement the simplest possible design for a given task and we believe that single –ended class A operation offers the most transparent and musically complete sound performance.
