Audio Note Empress power amplifier. ( 2x 2A3 ) Level 3; 8 Watts in Class A; single-stroke, feedback-free mono power amplifiers with parallel connection of a pair of 2A3 output triodes, a lamp-rectified power supply and a smoothing choke. Audio Note Neiro monoblocks have always occupied a special place among Audio Note (UK) amplifiers. Audio Note Neiro creates 8 of the most melodic, most emotional Watts imaginable, through the use of a pair of legendary 2A3 lamps per channel and our own very special copper/silver output transformers. Accordingly, the voice of these amplifiers is deeply respected by audiophiles all over the world.

  • Ginrei

    Power amplifiers mono

    Audio Note Ginrei

    Audio Note Ginrei, a pair of single-stroke monoblock amplifiers with parallel output lights, operate in pure Class A and use a pair of highly valued 211 triodes per case, representing a performance level radically superior to most modern analogues.

  • Ankoru/II

    Power amplifiers mono

    Audio Note Ankoru/II

    Operating in pure Class A, the single-stroke monaural amplifier with parallel lamps, using a pair of highly prized 211 triodes in each case, represents a level of performance radically superior to the vast majority of modern analogues. They use a similar scheme and topology to the legendary Audio Note (UK) Gaku-On.

  • Gaku-On

    Power amplifiers mono

    Audio Note Gaku-On

    The Audio Note Gaku-On amplifier is the pinnacle of our monaural amplifiers, and we did not consider any costs during their development and production. The most sophisticated components are used, including a variety of Black Gate™ capacitors, our own Audio Note (UK) silver foil capacitors and tantalum resistors, silver wire and the finest metals for all transformers, as well as silver wiring for the entire signal circuit.

  • Kassai

    Power amplifiers mono

    Audio Note Kassai

    Monoblock single-stroke amplifiers of the 4th level. Power 22 W, class A, without feedback with parallel activation of the output triodes 300B. Double C-cores made of Ultra HiB plates with copper primary and silver secondary windings, signal capacitors made of copper foil Audio Note™, 1 W tantalum resistors, Silmic and Black Gate decoupling capacitors. all internal wiring is with a silver Audio Note™ cable; a set of lamps for two Kassai monoblocks: 4x 300B, 2x NOS 6SN7, 2 x NOS 5U4GB.

  • Shinri

    Power amplifiers mono

    Audio Note Shinri

    Audio Note Shinri power amplifier. ( 1x 300B ) Level 4; 10 Watts in Class A; single-stroke, feedback-free mono power amplifiers on a single 300B output lamp. Operating in pure Class A, the single-stroke tube amplifier, which uses one 300V direct-channel triode in each channel, represents a performance level radically superior to most modern analogues. The Audio Note Shinri was specifically designed for music playback, not a technical specification, and meets the Audio Note Level 4 criteria.
