Canor Audio

The Canor Virtus A3 hybrid integrated amplifier provides an output power of 100 watts per channel when operating on a load with a nominal resistance of 8 ohms and 150 watts for a load of 4 ohms. The power amplifier uses differential feedback, which reads the audio output at both the positive and negative speaker terminals to ensure maximum linearity.

The device is housed in a massive aluminum case and operates in pure class A. The 10 mm panels placed inside separate the volume control unit and the lamp stages from other elements of the amplifier. Another purpose of the panels is to protect components from vibrations. According to the developers, there is no negative feedback at all.

Mono tube power amplifier in pure Class A, the top model of Canor Audio. The massive one-piece aluminum housing and special damping platforms for the lamp panels protect the lamp circuit from vibrations. It is made according to a symmetrical scheme that suppresses common-mode interference.

An integrated tube amplifier with an innovative pure class A circuit with automatic current offset of the output stage, which is implemented on KT88 lamps with the ability to quickly switch the "triode-ultralinear" modes. A pair of amplifiers can be used in a bridge connection as monoblocks with double the power.

A transistor integrated amplifier in pure class A with an output power of 50 Watts with the possibility of bridging to implement the monoblock mode of 100 watts each without an additional pre-amplifier. The volume is controlled using resistive attenuators with relay switching (separate for each channel). In the monoblock mode, the volume controls are synchronized according to the Master-Slave principle.

KT88 tube integrated amplifier in pure class A with operational switching of output stage modes (triode – ultralinear). The offset of the output stage is automatic. There is a possibility of bridging to implement the monoblock mode without an additional pre-amplifier. The volume is controlled using resistive attenuators with relay switching (separate for each channel). In the monoblock mode, the volume controls are synchronized according to the Master-Slave principle.

Hybrid integrated amplifier 2 x 150 W with a tube pre-stage and a discrete volume control based on resistive arrays and relay switching. The output stage is transistor, operating in Class D with analog power supply.

Digital-to-analog converter with lamp output. Conversion on Sabre ESS9038Q2M chips to include dual mono. In addition to the traditional S/PDIF (RCA) and AES/EBU (XLR) digital inputs, the Toslink device is equipped with a USB 2.0 input (asynchronous mode, DSD DoP up to DSD512 and PCM up to 24 bit/ 768 kHz).

The MM/MC tube phono corrector is of the highest category with unbalanced and balanced inputs and outputs, a circuit without general negative feedback on 8 carefully selected lamps, fully differentially balanced, a rectifier on a cenotron. Simultaneous connection of the MM and MC pickups is allowed due to the presence of separate corresponding inputs.

MM/MC tube phono corrector with a cenotron rectifier in the power supply (anode voltage). A 9-lamp circuit without a common OOS, all lamps and passive components are carefully selected according to parameters. The transition capacitors are high-grade polypropylene. The MS input is equipped with a Lundahl boost transformer. The MM and MS inputs can be connected to the signal sources simultaneously without mutual influence.

The amplification stages of the model are made on a pair of 12AX7 dual triodes and a pair of 12AT7 dual triodes without common feedback. RIAA correction is performed by a fully passive circuit using only high-quality polystyrene and polypropylene capacitors.

CD player, USB digital-to-analog converter with tube analog stage. The bearing tray mechanism ensures silent and smooth loading of the disc. The conversion takes place in 24/192 format. The USB 2.0 input can supply PCM streams up to 194 kHz and DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256. In addition to the unbalanced analog outputs, there are also balanced outputs.

CD player is a digital-to-analog USB converter with a tube analog stage. The conversion is performed using 32-bit Asahi Kasei AK4490 chips. The bearing tray mechanism ensures silent and smooth loading of the disc. Analog filters with a high slope are implemented on a fully symmetrical tube circuit. The coaxial digital input is equipped with an isolating pulse transformer.
