This is a faithful reproduction of the original – the new Quad II Classic offers audiophiles the chance to recreate the spirit and atmosphere produced from one of the most famous amplifiers in audio history. Peter’s circuit, notably the design of the output transformer has become of legendary status – analysed by the finest minds in the industry.
The Quad II clasic has been recreated accurately with output valves and input valves the equivalent of those used in the original. The output valves produce around 15W per channel operating in Class A, which allow a gloriously sweet and refined sound with appropriately matched contemporary loudspeakers.

LM-845IA – Integrated Amplifier – Single Ended 845 – 2x22W
The LM-845 is a quality upgrade of the old LM-518 amplifier. It delivers twenty-two watts per channel, Single Ended design, Pure Class A Integrated Stereo Amplifier with 845 output power tubes. The drivers are 6P3P tubes, the capacitors are Multicap, American MIT Coupling Capacitors, German MCAP Coupling Capacitors,
All tube Integrated with 12AX7 input tubes for voltage amplification, EL34 driver tubes, 5AR4 rectifier tubes and 845 output tubes. Driver tubes 6P3P can also be replaced by different kinds of driver tubes and you can select which tubes you prefer judging by different sounds. Well selected and matched tubes. No matter it is the Pre-stage or power stage of tubes we select and choose the best matching ones to use on the same unit of the amplifier to get the best sound quality out of it.
Different from other inputs Pre-In offers you a possibility to connect to some other Preamplifier so that you can the LM-845IA as a power amplifier.
User bias control has been used for bias adjustment and one meter has been added to the front plate to allow you to monitor bias with ease. External Hum Balance adjustment for sound adjustment.
Specially designed Toroid transformers made of Z11 Core for power supply and two Japanese Audio grade EI types of output transformers with wide bandwidth are applied. All transformers and chokes are encapsulated and installed separately on the amplifier to avoid and lower the disturbance between each other.

Hegel H20
The Hegel H20 incorporates the latest version of the Hegel FET-technology. A practical benefit of the H20 FET-technology is a more rhythmic sound. It is simply better at re-creating a bass line. Another vital element is the removal of harmonic echoes in the higher frequencies, which result in a lot more detail and still a smoother and more natural sound.
Pathos Inpol 2
Pathos Inpol 2 – Integrated Amplifier
Is the latest creation from Pathos, so-called because in the design Pathos presents the 2nd generation of their proprietary INPOL® technology.
It is also a completely balanced dual-mono configuration – easily recognized by the styling.
INPOL®, which carries a worldwide patent and gave birth to the multi-award winning products TT and InPower, has undergone advanced evolution.
The INPOL2 is a unique amplifier in many aspects and its sound quality will simply astound.
InPol (Inseguitore Pompa Linear – 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-88IA
LM-88IA – Integrated Amplifier – Push Pull KT88 – 2x42W
Forty-two watts per channel, Class AB Integrated Stereo Amplifier with KT88 output power tubes, 6CL8A and 12BH7 input tubes. Tubes we selected for the amplifier is Electro Harmonix 12BH7, Mullard 6CL8A and JJ Electronics KT88.
Well selected and matched tubes. No matter it is the Pre-stage or power stage of tubes we select and choose the best matching ones to use on the same unit of the amplifier to get the best sound quality out of it.
LM-88IA Amplifier can operate in two different ways Auto-biased or Fixed Bias. You can select the one you prefer. Power output for Auto-bias mode is 45 watts while for fixed bias it is 30 watts per channel. Once worked in Auto-bias mode it outputs a more warmth sound and go near to the way of Class A operation.
Different from other inputs Pre-In offers you a possibility to connect to some other Preamplifier so that you can the LM-88IA as a power amplifier.
Specially designed Toroid transformers made of Z11 Core for power supply and two Japanese Audio grade EI types of output transformers with wide bandwidth are applied.
