Art Audio CARISSA SE
Pursuing the single end high power route our amplifier uses the 845 valve. It has muscular intensity and musical finesse with transparency and intimacy. We have sacrificed some power in this 845 design to double the current output.(less watts, more power or current delivery).
No softness here, dynamics with a light and airy soundstage and a treble that is crisp and sweet, emotionally charged and expressively satisfying.

UK SE version fitted with split bobbin mutli section output transformers.
USA version fitted with single bobbin low loss transformers.
Key Features
Hovland caps twin choke filter solid state high current rectifier.
