with polyethylene outer barrels to minimise conductor mass. All tube
sockets are pure teflon with gold plated copper contacts.
The Absolare Integrated Amplifier is a hybrid design with a tube
preamplifier section and solid-state dual mono power amplifier section.
The tube preamplifier section is configured in pure Single Ended Triode
architecture. It is a mu-follower design like the Absolare Preamplifier,
with a minimum number of components to preserve sonic purity. All
internal cabling uses Echole’s proprietary alloys.
The power amplifier section uses separate power transformers and large
very low ESR capacitor banks for each channel. 12 active output
components provide 200W continuous power per channel into 8ohm
loads. They are individually hand tuned for perfect symmetry. A massive
CNC carved aluminium heat sink dissipates excess energy providing
overheat and overload protection for the output stage. A power-on timer
circuit protects the speakers from transient signals that may occur
before the tubes are heated to optimal operational temperature levels.
Balanced models employ input transformers for balanced operation.
One of the key design goals of the Absolare Integrated Amplifier is that
the sonic envelope not be correlated to the sound of solidstate
amplification. To achieve this goal, Absolare utilized an advanced
implementation of dual-mono, individually powered solid state
amplification architecture with tube pre amplification. We believe that
the Absolare Integrated Amplifier has the musical and emotional
involvement of a tube amplifier with an inaudible sonic signature.
Further, the design insures the realism of tonal balance, extraordinary
transparency and a three-dimensional soundstage without boundaries
and limitations.
Shortly, the Absolare Integrated Amplifier will breathe
life into your music.
