Description
SA10
In any amplifier, the signal path is at the mercy of anything that creates noise within the unit. Thus, we spare no expense in using only the most high-quality components, even if it means the cost of our power supplies overtaking that of everything else.
The result, of course, is worth every penny.
A singer’s sharp intake of breath before hitting the chorus, a guitarist’s fingers sliding against the strings – it’s those seemingly minor details that can bring music to life. Fish out one of your all-time favourite albums and play it through a Bluetooth speaker, and guess what? Its sounds like a Bluetooth speaker. Play it through the SA10, and it’s as close to hearing the artist’s performance as you’re likely to get. There’s always joy in digging out an old recording you haven’t heard in years. With the HDA range, it’ll feel like hearing it forthe first time.

Pathos Ampli D
Pathos Ampli D – Power Stereo Amplifier
AmpliD is the first of a new line of digital amplifiers from Pathos. Completely balanced in D Class, it features a 70 Watt output power on each channel at 8 Ohm, and 130 Watt on each channel at 4 Ohm; it has 2 kinds of inputs (1 as stereo balanced XLR and 1 as stereo unbalanced RCA line).
Despite small dimensions, AmpliD provides great power and high sound quality. It reached state-of-the-art among all those digital amplifiers, that cannot be underestimated in terms of technological innovation.

Pathos Inpol Remix MKII
Pathos Inpol Remix MKII – Integrated Amplifier
InPolRemix MkII is a fully-balanced pure Class A integrated amplifier using the latest generation double-InPol circuitry.
The digital bias/gain set technology with intelligent control is entrusted to the same microprocessor which regulates the volume, thus guaranteeing the performance of the amplifier itself and its ability to drive the loudspeakers efficiently.
Thanks to the (optional) HiDac Mk2 converter, music lovers who want the best from the latest digital sources will find their demands fully met.
InPol (Inseguitore Pompa Lineare – Linear Pump Follower) is a system patented by Pathos Acoustics which has enjoyed great success and won many awards.
Inpol devices have a special sonic personality obtainable only by means of this particular circuit design – fully balanced in Class A using a single solid state component in follower configuration, with high current gain and with voltage gain together. The valve amplifier amplifies the input signal voltage and InPol supplies the current to drive the loudspeakers without any further amplification. In this way the signal is entrusted to the valves and becomes a true copy of the original, with all the quality, purity and harmonic content of the original.
This technology allows an increase in the theoretical output in pure Class A of between 25% and 50% together with a low output impedance which is fundamental for the damping factor, and further improved by the double InPol.

LINE MAGNETIC LM-211IA
LM-211IA- Integrated Amplifier – Push Pull EL34 – 2x32W
The Line Magnetic integrated amplifier LM-211IA is a push-pull amplifier with 4x EL34 tubes in Class AB amplification and delivers 2x15W in triode mode and 2x32W in ultra-linear mode. It has 4 balanced line inputs and 4/8Ω output groups.
The rear-illuminated front panel meter is used to adjust polarization of the tubes. The use of high-quality components (Realcap capacitors, ALPS potentiometer) wired in the air, for the most part, is the guarantee of exemplary reliability. Its transformers output are of EI type, specially designed for power supply. The LM-211IA delivers dynamic, rich and natural sound.
LINE MAGNETIC LM-845 Premium
LM-845 Premium – Integrated Amplifier – Single Ended 845 – 2x30W
The LM-845 Premium is the result of many years of research on the 845 triodes Single Ended design. Thanks to its exceptional design and manufacturing quality, it is fast becoming the absolute reference in the high-end amplifiers world. With a power output of 2x30W, it can be used with most of the existing reference speakers.
The LM-845 Premium is a combination of two units: One is the amplifier unit and the other is Outputs unit. In the amplifier unit the main amplifier and power supply parts are included while in the outputs unit output transformer and speaker outputs parts are included.
Amplifier unit and outputs unit are connected with two separate well-built connectors and cables for which you can put up and down or left and right.
All tube Integrated with 12AX7 input tubes, 310A signal amplification stage, 300B driver tubes and 845 output tubes. Well selected and matched tubes. Tubes we chose are Shuguang 12AX7, Line Magnetic 310A, Shuguang 300B and Shuguang 845.
Two user bias controls for 300B and 845 have been used for bias adjustment and two meters has been added to the front plate to allow you to monitor bias with ease.
Negative Feedback switch is on the front plate that you can choose between two levels of NFB to enjoy the different sound outputs.
In LM-845 Premium it includes eight transformers. Two pieces of power transformers, two output transformers, two coupling driver transformers, two chokes. In order to have a stable and better power supply, we have designed two pieces of specially designed Toroid power transformers in Balance. EI type of output transformers is installed in the outputs unit separately to lower interfere from the external radio frequency.

Pathos Cinema X
Pathos Cinema X – 5+1 Integrated Amplifier
There is a section of the audiophile community who is gradually turning towards home cinema and five-channel sound.
However, this move often includes several compromises on the stereo sound or requires even two different systems. With their new integrated amplifier, Pathos dares to prove that it is possible to integrate high-performance stereo and surround sound in one product.
Music lovers now have the possibility of watching movies using one only amplifier without sonic compromise.
Equally, those buying the Cinema-X just for listening to music will not be disappointed either!
