“…if you want to hear the important musical detail presented in a coherent, clear-cut fashion this pairing has remarkably little competition in the two box arena. There are a few integrated amps which give them a run for their money in one respect or another but nothing comes to mind which seems like a better overall package.” Jason Kennedy Hi Fi+ No75.

Ayon AURIS II “Reference” preamp
Ayon AURIS II “Reference” preamp
Since its market launch in 2014 the Auris has gained an excellent reputation worldwide and it is one of the rare tube preamps capable of transferring its fabulous tonal characteristics to the best advantage to the rest of the installation or respectively co-impress it. All this caused us to further consequently fine-tune it in the background to make this preamp even more exceptional and put it to the utmost in every detail. We have reworked the output stage, the power supply, the phono stage (new phono re-design) and the quality of the components has been readjusted on the decisive points,
The low Output Impedance purist parallel Single-ended 6H30 circuit topology is using zero dB negative feedback. The Line Gain is customer Switchable, 0dB or +6dB. Therefore, the Auris II preamplifier is also very flexible in combination with any type of power amplifier. Of course, we have retained and even intensified the modular and upgradeable concept. Options unbalanced or fully balanced, Signature version and Phono MM/MC-H, MC option for all varieties. All existing Auris I version preamps can be retrofitted to the newest version II.
This “Reference” preamp represents the highest standard of preamp based on 6H30 design achievement. Excellence in engineering, a special tube rectified power supply and superior premium components provides a special magic to the reproduction of music. The performance of the new Auris II is outstanding, very musical and neutral, transparent and vivid in its presentation. There is a huge space of the recording environment reproduced with uncanny realism. It offers a holographic soundstage previously unavailable at this price class.
OPTIONS

Ayon Conquistador – Linestage
Ayon Conquistador – Linestage
“State of the Art & Cost – no – Object”
Timeless beauty – elegant, pure and full of innovative technology
This preamp is inimitable with a unique character. With the Conquistador everything started with a blank sheet of paper. Developing and designing a new project you must think unlimited and scrutinize everything. This way the Conquistador was created and it is a highlight in design and engineering art.
Four AA45 Mesh-triodes of our own proprietary production coupled with the unique quadruple VTC volume control, a special circuit design with four separate tube grid bias drivers, and the shortest thinkable signal path underline this absolutely exceptional concept in the world of preamps.
It’s extremely light-footed and joyful reproduction paired with a big soundstage and full of aura incarnate a very special way of sound deployment. This preamplifier shapes and impresses its magical character on the whole chain of reproduction to an extent that never existed before, a magic putting all listeners under its spell. Exactly those are the subtle differences between the so-called super pre-amps and the Conquistador, a pre-amp turning over a new leaf in the story of preamplifiers. We are convinced that the Conquistador will contribute to the way how the Ayon brand will be perceived in the future.
