SW1x AMP II “Electra” Integrated Amplifier

SW1X Audio Design™ AMP II "Electra"

Performance Level 2/3

Integrated Amplifier

AMP II is a Pure Class A, Single Ended Integrated Amplifier. It is essentially a 2 gain stage Power Amplifier coupled with a high quality Pre-amplifier.

It therefore is not only extremely transparent but also very musical and powerful sounding Integrated Amplifier.

The Triode Connected 6V6G Power Valves offer the same level of scale and holography as the Directly Heated Triodes without being DHT.

Available in different versions: Special and the Classic version with different power output transformer options (Permalloy or SHiB and UHiB) and all Copper or Copper/Silver windings
