CEC - AMP6300The AMP6300 is a pure A class single ended amplifier offering high power coupled with excellent linearity and efficiency. The entire circuitry is fully balanced, from input signal entry to where the output meets the speaker terminal. This enables a radical reduction in noise and distortion, and a major improvement in sound quality. Furthermore, the left and right signals are processed through independent, dedicated circuitries to achieve channel separation and high-quality stereo imaging. Similarly to other existing CEC amplifiers, takes a minimalist approach by featuring only an input selector and gain management control, and omitting the preamp section. Its DIGM (Digital Intelligent Gain Management) system adjusts volume digitally by switching metal-film resistors with a unique array of bipolar class-A switches. It digitally recalibrates the amplifier gain in 66 steps, without dividing and downgrading the input signal. This DIGM volume control enables digital adjustment of the left and right output balance, with no dilution to the input signal and without extending the signal path, in 1dB increments up to +10dB. State-of-the-art LEF circuitry, free of negative feedback circuitries that affect the sound signal, achieves high output and high quality audio reproduction unaffected by characteristic faults on the transistor side. The newest version of the LEF further improves stability and sound quality. Read more |

Clearaudio - Ceramic Magnetic BearingThe Clearaudio CMB (Ceramic Magnetic Bearing) is a result of long-term research and development and is based on a Clearaudio patent. Two aligned opposing magnetic fields are perfectly aligned one on top of the other, thereby rejecting each other. The magnetic fields are completely shielded from the outside through the careful application of very sophisticated materials. A high precision ceramic vertical axle fits perfectly into a bronze bearing. This perfect fit is essential and can only be achieved through the highest precision hand polishing. High-performance synthetic oil is used for lubrication. The combination of these carefully selected components produces the effect of the platter floating by itself on an air cushion, and not on a ball bearing or bearing point. The results of this magnetic bearing are one of the lowest frictions in turntable bearing design and until now, un-reached rumble measurements, and an unbeatable new standard in speed accuracy.

Gryphon - Colosseum“Gryphon’s mission is to offer our customers the best of both worlds, superb musical performance allied with a rarefied design aesthetic,” Gryphon founder Flemming E. Rasmussen explains. “Gryphon styling, technology and sound quality make an uncompromising statement that the proud Gryphon owner instinctively respects and appreciates.” The majestic oval-shaped 70 cm tall high rise tower of the Gryphon Colosseum features end plates machined from solid blocks of 40 mm black polyvinylmethacrylate. The amplifier is suspended between the curved, de-coupled panels in a unique configuration that provides optimal layout and operating conditions for all components. The dual transformers are isolated and effectively shielded to prevent unwanted interaction with other components. As pioneered with the Gryphon loudspeakers, the Colosseum side panels can be customized to offer any finish, matching decor and depth of pocket. This is a first in audio and is the natural consequence of the philosophy that at this price point, the owner deserves not only sound quality that lives up to the highest audiophile standards, but also a design statement to please the eye on a daily basis. While the Colosseum continues the striking Gryphon luxury oriented design trend, details such as 2 x 160 Watts Pure Class A output power, 48 High-current bipolar output transistors, a 440,000 microFarad power capacitor bank and flat frequency response extending beyond 350 kHz reaffirm the brand’s ongoing commitment to continue delivering uncompromising sound quality to the most hardcore Audiophile. The 80 kg powerhouse comes in a dedicated flightcase for maximum protection. Read more |

Martin Logan - PurityPurity marks an exciting new direction for electrostatic loudspeaker design. Internally powered with a high-resolution 200-watt switching amplifier, Purity allows an unprecedented level of system connection flexibility. Equipped with a standard line-level input, Purity is able to connect directly to devices such as digital music players, flat screen televisions or even computers. Additional speaker level inputs also allow Purity to function in a more traditional receiver or pre-amp equipped 2-channel or home theater system. Purity incorporates proprietary AirFrame™ technology and MartinLogan's advanced MicroPerf Generation 2 diaphragm electrostatic transducer to cover the audible acoustic range with unprecedented high-frequency accuracy and low-level sonic detail. ClearSpar™ spacers suspend the Generation 2 diaphragm within the electrostatic transducer, enhancing Purity's transparent look and increasing both efficiency and dynamics. Perfectly integrated MartinLogan engineered dual high-resolution 6.5-inch aluminum cone woofers supply an authoritative bass performance that will give most stand-alone subwoofers a run for their money. State-of-the-art audio transformer and custom crossover engineering ensure a transparent link between the electrostatic panel and woofer. Purity's crossover employs a proprietary Vojtko™ topology for vanishingly low distortion and seamless driver integration. This precision-tuned network preserves miniscule sonic nuances while handling the full dynamics of any source with unparalleled purity, precision, clarity, and openness. Read more |
