Consistency is key. We should never accept superior resolution in one octave, only to suffer from masking effects a half-octave away and ringing artifacts two octaves from there.

Original packaging. In excellent condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf a pair of Evoke 50s in a room doesn’t say “statement of intent”, we don’t know what does. Use them in stereo. Use them as part of an Evoke multi-channel home cinema system. However you listen to them, the word ‘epic’ won’t be far from your lips.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvoke 50 is a full three-way floorstander with a 28mm soft-dome tweeter, a 15cm neodymium midrange driver and twin 18cm woofers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCome in on a high note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvoke 50 features Dynaudio’s Cerotar tweeter. It’s a ground-up design that uses key technologies from the award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter, the awesome Contour series and the all-singing, all-dancing tech-fest that is Confidence. Our engineers are very proud of it. As well they should be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust underneath the precision-coated dome sits an inner dome: the Hexis. This ingenious device is close enough to the back of the diaphragm that it stops unwanted resonant frequencies reflecting back to the rear of the playing surface. It smooths out the frequency response for clearer, cleaner, sweeter treble – meaning more detail, and more of those “hey, I don’t remember there being a triangle in this piece of music!” moments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cerotar is powered by a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system. That gives it more sensitivity, which, in musical terms, translates simply to ‘honesty’. You’ll hear just what you’re supposed to hear. And because it’s so smooth and natural, you can listen for hours without getting tired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBig bottom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDown at the bottom are two 18cm Esotec+ woofers. Like the Cerotar tweeter, they use trickle-down technology from the Contour and Confidence families to bring as much of that high-end DNA to Evoke as possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe woofers are made from our own proprietary material, MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer). We’ve been using it in our cones for decades – and we’ve yet to find anything that gives a better balance of lightness, stiffness and damping. If it ain’t broke…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut while the Evoke 20 standmount speaker uses aluminium in its 18cm woofer, Evoke 50 uses copper. That’s because these are pure bass drivers – they don’t need the fleet-footed agility of a dedicated midrange unit, so we were able to give them more moving mass. The 0.4mm diaphragm is the same, though, as is the Ferrite+ ceramic magnet. That means power and detail. It’s just one of the solutions arrived at through extensive analysis and simulation in our Jupiter measuring facility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach speaker cone is crafted from a single piece of MSP. This makes them exactly the right amount of rigid – and means far less physical distortion when they’re playing. It also gives a super-solid physical connection to the glass-fibre voice-coil former on the back (it’s glued directly under the Balance Ribs you’ll see around the centre), which means more of the coil’s motion energy is transferred to the diaphragm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAramid fibre spiders keep everything centred and moving the way it should, while the Contour-derived surround allows a longer throw ratio for greater punch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd, for extra versatility – if you rearrange your room or move house, for example – the rear-firing bass ports have two-part foam plugs. They offer three levels of tuning: fully open, half-open and fully closed, so you can tailor the speakers’ bass performance to their position and your room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDedicated midrange\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvoke 50 is the only speaker in the family to have a dedicated midrange driver, so the engineers in Dynaudio Labs decided to make it a little bit special. The 15cm unit they chose is derived directly from the high-end Contour range – which means a powerful neodymium magnet, a 0.4mm-thin diaphragm and a glass-fibre voice-coil former with a trademark Dynaudio aluminium voice-coil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy neodymium and not the Ferrite+ of the woofers? Because it’s light, and it’s powerful. Why aluminium and not copper? Again, because it’s light (and lets us put more windings in the voice-coil for a given weight). That’s a combination that gives our team amazing control over how the driver responds – they were able to fine-tune it to integrate perfectly with the woofers and tweeter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, the Evoke team did such a good job that you essentially are getting Contour-level performance out of this midrange driver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimple, honest style\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreating a speaker this large without making it seem bulky and boxy is no mean feat – but lead designer Louise Dalgaard met the challenge head on.

The device amplifies the low-level signal from MC cartridges to moving-magnet (MM) levels passively, without requiring AC power. Priced at $2295, the MC4 is known for its neutral, musical, and powerful sound quality, offering rich timbral colors, tonal weight, and rhythmic tightness.

Normally, the more cost put into the cartridge, the better the sound. However, sometimes what is required is not more cost but more clever engineering, as with the Lyra Delos.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA major problem with most cartridges is that the signal coils are located so that applying normal tracking force restricts performance. The reason is that the cartridge's signal coils should have the same angle as the magnetic circuit when the tracking force for playback is applied, but are nearly always designed so that applying normal tracking force pushes the signal coils out of alignment with the magnetic circuit. This impairs the sensitivity and linearity of the coils, and reduces the quality of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delos solves this problem with a new body structure and pre-angled damping system. The pre-angled dampers work together with the angle of the body structure so that, when tracking force is applied, the signal coils are optimally aligned with the magnet circuit. The Delos also has a microridge stylus for outstanding tracking, a non-parallel solid metal body for low resonances, and nude construction for greater clarity. The result is clearly improved sound quality, particularly resolution, dynamic range, transient impact and immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile vinyl records played back with an MC cartridge can sound exceptionally good, it is a surprising fact that the design of conventional MCs restricts the sound quality that can be achieved from LPs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAn essential factor for proper operation of an MC cartridge is the angle between the magnetic circuit, signal coils and core. Performance is optimal when the angles are all aligned, but any significant difference in the angles will cause the formation of a strong and directional flux that will flow constantly from the magnetic circuit into the signal core. This directional magnetic flux will orient the core toward a specific direction and make it impossible for the core to move with equal ease in all directions, which is necessary for proper cartridge performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, conventional MC cartridges have been designed so that the angles between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core become aligned only when tracking force is not applied. The result is that during playback, the required tracking force causes the angle between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core to become misaligned. This limits the cartridge’s resolution, tracking ability and dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Lyra Delos is designed to conquer this problem. Compared to conventional cartridges, the Delos has a new body structure with an unusually shallow angle, and this has been paired with a unique asymmetrical damping system. When no tracking force is applied, the shape of the asymmetrical dampers forces the signal coils and core into a more upright angle than the magnetic circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, no tracking force applied means that the cartridge is not operating, and therefore any angular discrepancies between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core will have no effect on performance. When tracking force is applied, however, the force of the stylus pushing on the LP causes the asymmetrical dampers to be deformed into a symmetrical shape, and when this happens the angular discrepancies between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core all disappear. Since tracking force applied means that the cartridge is now operating, it should be clear that the design of the Delos is able to keep the angles between the magnetic circuit, signal coils and core aligned during playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping the proper angular alignment prevents the formation of any strong and directional flux that could otherwise flow constantly from the magnetic circuit into the signal core, and enables the Delos’ core to move with equal ease in all directions, for optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delos also has a microridge stylus on a boron cantilever for outstanding tracking, a non-parallel solid machined metal body for low resonances, and 6-N high-purity copper coils and nude construction for greater clarity.

The Etna is nothing short of excellent!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLyra again turns the analog world on its ear with the introduction of\r\n the Etna λ Lambda phono cartridge. Sharing its name with Sicily’s \r\nmajestic Mount Etna, Etna λ Lambda the cartridge is an impressive \r\nmonument in its own right, one that melds tried and true Lyra design \r\ntenets with designer Jonathan Carr’s very latest thinking on phono \r\ncartridges.\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda was designed with a strong emphasis on engineering \r\nefficiency, so that its performance would be as far beyond the sum of \r\nits parts as possible. For this reason, although it shares some of its \r\ndesign philosophy with Atlas λ Lambda, the concepts are executed rather \r\ndifferently.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda employs a solid titanium core structure machined \r\nwith non-parallel surfaces to inhibit internal reflections whenever \r\npossible, but unlike Atlas (and Titan i before it), this is mated to a \r\nslightly undersized, asymmetric, mirror-black anodized duralumin outer \r\nbody that locks over the core like a very tightly-fitting jigsaw puzzle.\r\n The core and body are augmented with bronze and stainless-steel \r\nresonance control rods, then pressure-fit together into a pre-stressed, \r\nsolid, void-free structure which is comprised of multiple materials and \r\ncomplex internal shapes. The constrained-layer nature of this \r\nconstruction dramatically reduces the resonant signature of each \r\nmaterial and creates a far more neutral-sounding body structure than \r\notherwise possible, while the high body stiffness benefits transients, \r\ndynamics and resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda uses a yokeless dual magnet system, diamond-coated \r\nboron rod cantilever and Lyra-designed variable-radius line-contact \r\nstylus. Lyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the \r\ncantilever directly into the cartridge body to create a rigid, seamless \r\nconnection between the cantilever assembly and tonearm headshell. Why? \r\nLinear transducers such as phono cartridges are inherently inefficient \r\ndevices, on the order of 5 -10%. In other words, of the vibrational \r\nenergy that enters a cartridge from the LP groove, only 5-10% will be \r\nconverted into electrical signal. The cartridge’s internal damping \r\nsystem will dissipate some of the remaining 90 to 95%, but much of the \r\nexcess vibrational energy will reflect inside the cartridge, creating \r\ninternal echoes and a general diminishing of fidelity. It is quite easy \r\nto hear this with many cartridges- play a highly modulated LP with the \r\npower amp turned off, and bring your ear close to the cartridge. The \r\n“needle talk” that you hear is excess vibrational energy which isn’t \r\nbeing controlled properly. Etna λ Lambda’s direct-mounted cantilever \r\nhelps conduct this excess vibrational energy into the headshell, where \r\nit is safely dissipated within the greater mass of the tonearm and \r\nturntable plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda utilizes the asymmetric design concept first seen in\r\n the flagship Atlas, but moves the screw\/screwhole all the way to the \r\nfront of the cartridge and interposes a bronze damping barrier between \r\nit and the mechanical path linking the cantilever assembly to the \r\ntonearm headshell. Freed of all obstructions and voids, the rigid, \r\ndirect path established between cantilever and headshell is highly \r\neffective at draining away vibrations once they have been converted into\r\n electrical signals, effectively suppressing induced resonances and \r\ninternal reflections that would otherwise manifest as sonic colorations.\r\n A narrowed mounting area couples Etna λ Lambda more tightly to the \r\nheadshell and facilitates the transfer of vibrational energy into the \r\ntonearm, giving even better control over spurious resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eAnother design strength is Etna λ Lambda high-efficiency X-shaped \r\nsignal coils, another attribute it shares with the flagship Atlas. \r\nCompared to traditional square coil formers the X-shape allows each \r\nchannel to operate with greater independence from one another, giving \r\nbetter tracking, tighter channel matching, improved separation, and \r\nlower crosstalk-induced distortion. Although there are and have been \r\nother X-coil cartridges, their benefits have been accompanied by poor \r\nefficiency (in converting mechanical work into electrical output), \r\neither requiring high internal impedance (the larger coils add \r\nconsiderable moving mass and increase noise) and\/or having low output \r\nvoltage (which stresses the phono stage).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eTo overcome this weakness, Lyra conducted a careful investigation \r\nof X-core coils, using a combination of mathematical analysis and \r\nhands-on experimentation. The outcome of the analysis program was a very\r\n specific X-core shape and dimensions that not only had higher \r\nefficiency than any previous X-core cartridge, but also surpassed the \r\nefficiency of Lyra’s earlier square-coil cartridge designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/lyraanalog.com\/lyra-new-angle.html\"\u003eLyra’s New Angle technology\u003c\/a\u003e\r\n mechanically pre-biases the signal coils so they are perfectly aligned \r\nto the front and rear magnets during LP playback, which allows the coils\r\n to move optimally in all directions for superior, distortion-free \r\nplayback.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eA seldom-mentioned yet key factor in defining the performance and \r\nsound of a phono cartridge is the suspension and damper system. A \r\ncantilever’s materials, dimensions and constructions all affect the \r\nsound in unique ways, and unless the dampers and suspension are \r\nengineered to be a suitable match to the cantilever chosen, the sound \r\nand performance will not be optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eFor Lyra’s post-2008 New Angle models (Delos, Kleos, Etna, Atlas) \r\nwe developed tapered dampers to pre-load the cantilever downwards when \r\nit is in the rest position, so that the application of vertical tracking\r\n force (VTF) will bring the coil angle into alignment with the magnets \r\nwhen the cartridge is in the playing position. Our continued research \r\ninto dampers and suspension systems has now led to the next level up - \r\nLambda.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eLambda separates the tapered dampers of the New Angle cartridges \r\ninto flat elastomer discs (for damping) and an additional support \r\n“pillow” to serve as the cantilever pre-loading element. This division \r\nallows the use of more specialized materials that are better suited to \r\ntheir individual tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eThe Lambda Atlas and Etna thereby continue the New Angle benefits \r\n(coil and magnet angles become aligned when the cartridge is in the \r\nplaying position), but stability and sonic performance are significantly\r\n improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eThe Lambda improvements apply to both the single coil layer models\r\n (Atlas SL, Etna SL) and the standard double coil layer models (Atlas, \r\nEtna).

Atlas has a very refined, \r\nelegant and voluptuous sound while Etna λ Lambda personality is more \r\noutgoing. We truly believe that choosing between these two exceptional \r\nperformers will come down to one’s tastes and the system in which it \r\nwill live.

However, it is also possible to connect the two \r\nmono channels in series for additional output when used in a pure mono \r\nsystem. Use a short cartridge headshell lead wire with female \r\npin-connectors to connect either the Etna λ Lambda Mono's upper right \r\npin with the lower left pin, or alternatively the upper left pin with \r\nthe lower right pin. Then use the two remaining unused pins for \r\nconnection to your single amp RIAA input (alternatively a transformer \r\ninput).

It was called, aquatic naming theme continuing, The Steelhead®, as it is an \"upstream\" device and has a very clever MC variable load auto tranny that \u003ca href=\"#\"\u003eMitch Margolis\u003c\/a\u003e (on-staff Manley hifi designer) designed and our very own Manley Magnetics department executed (which makes the MC stage so very clever).\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIron=transformer=\"steel\" makes sense to me...\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIt has two Moving Coil inputs with selectable impedance load 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 Ohms via Mr. Clever \"Steelhead\" transformer\/autoformer. It also has variable and selectable Moving Magnet input impedances too 25, 50, 100, 200 Ohms and 47 kOhms. Very nifty is the selectable-dial-able-in-able-from-the-faceplate-able capacitive loading for all three of the MM \u0026amp; MC inputs 0 to 1100 picofarads in 10 picofarad steps. Very cool! Equalize baby! TEN picofard steps! Wow! Now you can really dial this in for perfect cartridge matching with ZERO penalty. None of this switching detracts from the sound quality or adds any extra anything to the signal path. Rest assured.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIt's got six tubes. 2 x 6922 plus 4 x 7044 or 5687. It's got a big honkin' volume control. It can drive an amplifier directly if you want, if you don't \"do\" digital. Hey and if you happen to have three turntables set up, we give you 2 x MC and 1 x MM selectable inputs! It's got variable and fixed volume outputs. And All-tube really low Z tube buffered outputs. Like inherently 20 Ohms plus the little 47 Ohm \"OK drive those high capacitance audiophile cables why doncha\" resistor, so it's real output impedance is only 67 Ohms. No wanky cathode follower (oh bor-ing) output here like the other guys. We got your real low impedance all-tube outputs right here! It will drive anything and everything. Long cables, no problem.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIt's got selectable gain 50, 55, 60, 65dB on a switch that even auto-mutes as you change it so no nasty bangs. Gain switch markings are referred to from the input of the 1st active electronics at 1 kHz to the fixed output @ 10k load, regardless of whether source is MM or XFMR stepped-up MC. It is not really practical to include MC step-up gain on the front panel markings due to the variable SOURCE impedances of the MC cartridges and the variable LOADING that the input XFMR will have on any given cartridge. All of this total MC gain variability should be confined to about 3 to 12 dB of range though. XFMR step-up gain plateaus as the load Z on a given MC cartridge is optimised...producing no VOLTAGE gain but in fact a bit more POWER gain... All this means you should set a load Z which sounds best with your particular MC cartridge and adjust gain to suit your system's operating level. Whatever you like. You will not blow anything up.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t(Bottom line: there is plenty of gain... enough to do justice to your fave lo-output MC cartridges).\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIt's got a mute switch. It's got a \"just turn it down while I cue up so I don't throw my woofer cones across the room but I still want the same volume I was listening at before I flipped the side\" DIM switch. And what goes with DIM better than SUM which would be the MONO button... It has a killer hyper-regulated outboard power supply that plugs in on the huge-est connector you ever saw. And you can just hit the \"standby\" button to keep everybody off while you take a small holiday to Tahiti.

At the end of the cadenza, the orchestra re-enters, and generally finishes off the movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the 19th century, composers began to write cadenzas out in full.

Servo current is reduced with the turntable by correcting disc warping and distortion and improving the relative optical axis precision of the pickup and disc pit side. This realizes reduced disc reading errors and outstanding audio quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge section supports the VRDS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the bridge that supports the turntable, we carefully selected lightweight materials that are very rigid and do not transmit vibration. By naturally settling vibrations quickly, we have realized a wide, dynamic sound. The bridge, which has a torus structure made of resin, is only fixed on one side, and propagation of vibration from the CD mechanism to the opposite side through the bridge is suppressed, so the entire mechanism minimizes unwanted sympathetic vibrations.\u003cbr\u003eSemi-floating mounting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe entire CD mechanism is mounted on the sub-chassis in a semi-floating state. By controlling the transmission of vibrations between the CD mechanism and the chassis, the impact of sympathetic vibrations is abated, and natural playback sound is realized throughout the frequency range. By isolating motor vibrations from the main chassis, sympathetic vibrations within the chassis are prevented. At the same time, the CD mechanism is also isolated from external vibrations. Reading precision is also increased by isolating the CD mechanism from external vibrations.\u003cbr\u003eEnhanced digital output\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy eliminating the DAC function, the internal circuitry has been optimized for digital output. We have pursued higher audio quality by, for example, using larger components that did not fit in more limited space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMQA CDs can be played back using the built-in MQA core decoder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe VRDS-701T has a built-in MQA core decoder and can digitally output MQA CDs at 88.2 kHz . Moreover, when used together with a DAC that has an MQA rendering function, playback using MQA full decoding is also possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10MHz external clock input\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 10MHz clock input allows synchronization with an external clock.

With speakers this is difficult to achive as the left channel goes to the left and the right ear. But with some clever signal processing of the speaker channels is is possible to suppress the crosstalk, i.e. the audio going from the left speaker to the right ear and vice versa. If that works properly then the recording sounds as if one would be in the space where the recording has taken place.

There is also a user adjustable Headphone Overload Protection System which declares maximum output level to protect precious headphones and your ears!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd you know how maddening it is to try to listen to a mono LP record on headphones - which is why we have provided a MONO switch! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn case your source needs some correction or if your own ears do not hear equally, we have included a Balance Control which can swing the signal up to 72dB either way. In its center detent position, this special balance control is completely out of the circuit. Also to be able to execute some sonic authority over what is handed to you in a given recording or to just make your headphones sound nicer (to you!) we have provided historically proven pleasing and gentle Tone Controls - and these Baxandall Bass and Treble equalizers can be completely bypassed at the push of a button. Try them! We think you really will enjoy having the choice to enliven and enrich your sonic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong those lines, the Variable Feedback control allows you to control the amount of overall negative feedback applied to the amplifier from 0dB, or no Global Negative Feedback, to 10dB of NFB. Negative Feedback in electronics is when a small portion of the output signal is re-introduced back to the input signal to provide a more stable and beneficial corrective result. This control is very useful when determining how \"tight\" you want your amplifier to sound. For example, a simple female vocal with minimal percussion can sound more intimate with very little feedback, but a complicated symphony orchestra passage may sound better positioned with more feedback. Applying different amounts of negative feedback can also affect the slew rate and apparent \"speed\" of the sonic character. Other aspects for which to listen include placement, forward or relaxed, darker vs shimmering, or punchy vs mellow. Feel free to play with this knob and listen for the not-so-subtle diversity that altering the amount of feedback provides. It's one of our favorite circuit tricks and we've been pulling this one for decades!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAh! And our other coolest tonal trick: Switching Topology!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe're pretty sure we originated this concept in the audiophile world back with the Manley SE\/PP 300B power amplifiers and it's only because we have our own in-house magnetics department that we are able to devise such complaisant output transformers that can accommodate such radical demands. The Absolute Headphone amplifier features custom hand-wound air-gapped dual-mode MANLEY IRON® output transformers, designed and manufactured at the Manley Labs factory in California. Interestingly, the output tube stage can be switched on-the-fly between all-triode Push-Pull to Single-Ended topology. This completely alters the harmonic structure from odd-order to even-order and basically halves the output power again providing yet another spicy ingredient to flavor the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, with a push of a button, these transformers cycle through three ranges of output loads accommodating headphones from 12 to 600 Ohms or greater. Choose between three sets of outputs: the expected ¼\"� TRS Headphone Jack, a 4-pin XLR Balanced Stereo Output for your high-end balanced headphones, and a set of stereo RCA outputs to use this component as your line-level preamplifier in your existing hifi system. The Bypass Thru Mode sends RCA Input 1 directly to the RCA Outputs, when in STANDBY mode. Useful, as your main audio system sources can drive either playback system without having to change upstream cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Absolute Headphone amplifier incorporates our own innovative purpose-designed-for-audio High Voltage switched-mode power supply. All super-low impedance DC rails are fully regulated and worlds quieter than any linear supply we have ever encountered. The resulting sound is fast and dynamic with a deep punchy bass, deadly-quiet inky blacks, and superior headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6AQ5 or EL90 is the vacuum tube used in the output stage of the Absolute Headphone amplifier. It is well suited for our purposes in a headphone amplifier. The tube is configured as a triode due to the low power requirements needed for headphone use. This tube is widely available from well-known manufacturers such as RCA and GE. The tubes can be ordered as a matched quad and for ease of use the tubes do not require biasing. Simply plug them in and forget 'em!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWe offer the solid billet chassis for the Manley Absolute Headphone Amplifier in three color options: Black, Copper, and Silver.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmplifier Topology:\u003cbr\u003eTriode Vacuum Tube Output Stage, Switchable Topology Single-Ended or Push-Pull\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVacuum Tubes:\u003cbr\u003e2 x 12AT7 (ECC81), 4 x 6AQ5A (EL90)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInputs:\u003cbr\u003e2 x RCA (Input 1 \u0026amp; Preamp Output = Pass-Thru when amplifier is in Standby or Off)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput Impedance:\u003cbr\u003e50 kOhms (Pass-Thru= 300 kOhms)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum Input Level:\u003cbr\u003e7.7 VAC RMS (+20 dBu)\u003cbr\u003e(Conditions: XLR output, PP mode, 16 ohm load, VOLUME max, EQ out, 1kHz sine wave)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGain:\u003cbr\u003eLoad 16 ohm: 12 dB (Min FB), 3 dB (Max FB)\u003cbr\u003eLoad 62 ohm: 17 dB (Min FB), 8 dB (Max FB)\u003cbr\u003eLoad 200 ohm: 22 dB (Min FB), 13 dB (Max FB)\u003cbr\u003e(Conditions: XLR output, PP mode, VOLUME Max, EQ out, 1kHz sine wave)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput Sensitivity:\u003cbr\u003e600 mV AC RMS for an output of 100 mW\u003cbr\u003e1.9 VAC RMS for an output of 1W\u003cbr\u003e(Conditions: XLR output, PP mode, FB 12:00 o'clock, 16 ohm load, 1kHz sine wave, VOLUME max, EQ out)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolume Control:\u003cbr\u003e- Precision Stepped Relay Attenuator 0.5dB per step\u003cbr\u003e- 63dB total attenuation -
