TRINNOV’S HIGH-END STEREO FLAGSHIP. STEP INTO A WORLD OF ACOUSTIC FIDELITY
Our products deliver an unrivaled level of accuracy regarding processing to maintain the highest possible audio quality throughout the signal path. While regular DSP-based platform would immediately down-sample high-resolution audio material, our platform process audio up to 192 kHz.
Furthermore, our 64 bits floating point processing section increases the accuracy of all calculation spectacularly to guarantee true signal integrity with a resolution greater than 320dB. This processing headroom also allows us to perform digital volume control without any loss of resolution.
Description
The Amethyst includes an 11-source preamplifier with built-in Speaker/Room Optimizer, Trinnov’s innovative HybriD Phono Preamp, a Network Renderer, a 24 bit/192kHz DA Converter and a 2-way intelligent, active crossover engine. It also features built-in Wifi connectivity for simplified operations making it the perfect centerpiece of any traditional or modern Hifi Installation.
STRAIGHTFORWARD AUTOMATED PROCESS
The Amethyst includes a calibration wizard that guides you step by step to achieve initial optimization and generate five settings in minutes. An extensive set of parameters then allows you to fine-tune the settings of the system to achieve the best results and adjust the
sound to your liking. You can save up to 29 presets of custom settings
MORE THAN 2 CHANNELS
The Amethyst can drive 4 channels simultaneously and features active crossovers as well as bass management to support a variety of systems such as 2.0, bi-amp, 2.1 or 2.2.
WHY ROOM CORRECTION MATTERS
The Amethyst delivers an outstanding transparent sound and provides a versatile set of features as well as rich connectivity, but it stands out with its built-in state-of-the-art room correction system to ensure true-to-source sound reproduction in your listening environment.

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. All transformers and chokes are encapsulated and installed separately on the amplifier to avoid and lower the disturbance between each other.
Audio Grade of components for LM-88IA: Japanese ALPS volume potentiometer, Multicap coupling Capacitors, American MIT Coupling Capacitors, German MCAP Coupling Capacitors, etc.

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.

Its transformers output are of EI type, specially designed for power supply. The LM-211IA delivers dynamic, rich and natural sound.
Pathos Ethos
Pathos Ethos: Integrated amplifier (HiDac Optional)
The edged exterior of the Éthos does not provide any clues about how to control the amplifier. Like with the Logos to operate the Éthos is a hit and miss trial and error affair. Both recessed buttons on the front panel are difficult to access and they carry no marks or descriptions. The remote controller (by the way very elegant slick piece of metal) will not help a lot as it also has just anonymous buttons. Either a user looks into the amp’s manual or just presses something to see what it does. This is a kind of trade-off for the clean Italian design,
Other than that the Éthos is built with great attention to detail, the selection of parts, craftsmanship and internal layout scream with quality and care. I loved the amp’s heatsinks that are cast in the shape of Pathos’ logo.
The central part is occupied by a turquoise alphanumeric display that is dimmable. The power switch can be found at the rear panel and there is no need to power the amp off as it stays in a standby mode at idle, A ‘progress bar’ on the display will inform you that the Éthos is waking up – it takes no more than 30 seconds before all circuits are stabilized.
