Amplifiers

The M500 features a discrete design with a Class A input stage with matched impedance. The result is a product with minimized signal reflections, input noise and distortion, as well as maximum power transmission and dynamic range in a zero negative feedback design. With special low-noise, high-current toroidal transformers and a robust high-current output buffer, the M500 delivers transparent, holographic, fatigue-free sound. All components have been carefully selected for their sound characteristics and durability, which ensures that your amplifier will last a long time.

The amplifier has a fully modular design. Radiators are made from solid pieces of aluminum, the thickness of the fins varies to smooth out mechanical resonances. Several grounding options for the circuit and housing allow you to avoid the occurrence of network loops and ground wire leads in a particular system.

The model is ideally suited for reference DACs. Each unit received its own high-current toroidal transformer. They make almost the entire mass of the monoblock — 41 kilograms. The input and output are based on balanced schemes. The entrance works in class A, the exit in AB. The company said that the new M205 circuit has zero negative feedback.

The S202 stereo amplifier embodies the solutions on the basis of which the S500 stereo amplifier was created, but in a more compact form factor. MSB has managed to create an amplifier that transmits an accurate and truthful picture of sound with all harmonic components, having one of the models of MSB digital-to-analog converters in front of it as a source.

The Esoteric F01 is the best Class A integrated amplifier using Grandioso X Edition amplifier technology. The F-01/02 Dual mono balanced amplifier has been significantly upgraded from the previous F series in terms of functionality and sound quality, including a number of new technologies developed in the flagship Grandioso C1X preamp.

The Grandioso F1 amplifier uses all the advantages of modern amplification technologies. He possesses sound expression, symphonic beauty, artistic passion, a spatial sense of the scale of a concert hall, and is able to convey even the emotions of the audience.

The C1X is Esoteric's flagship preamp model. It bears the proud Esoteric trademark "Grandioso". The Grandioso C1X is a next-generation benchmark featuring a carefully designed dual balanced circuit, a complete dual mono configuration, a powerful buffer amplifier and power supply circuit for controlling power amplifiers, as well as an analog ES-Link current transmission that defies the limits of quality. This is the flagship preamp that combines all the wisdom of Esoteric and numerous technological innovations.

The Esoteric Grandioso C1X solo preamp. The most important role of the preamplifier is to act as the command center of the audio system, bringing the performance of each device that makes up the system to the highest level and providing the listener with an exceptional listening experience that makes them forget about the existence of the audio system.

Esoteric S-02 power amplifier. The unique feeling of space that occurs only when the sound is flowing freely and widely, as well as the impression of a truly live performance of music, occurs only when the amplifier has a generous supply of power for proper control of acoustic systems. To meet these requirements, Esoteric amplifiers use only the very best components and massive power supplies.

The Esoteric S-05 model operates in Class A and is fully focused on transmitting the unique tonal qualities of music, but in a more compact stereo configuration, while maintaining the Grandioso M1X philosophy of "minimum circuit – maximum power".

The Esoteric Grandioso S1X is the flagship in the perfect class of Class A stereo power amplifiers. The Esoteric Grandioso S1X is a Class A stereo amplifier that perfectly repeats the signature sound of the M1X monoblock: "a sense of dynamism that reveals the full power of music" and "a sense of grand scale." In exchange for the pure power of 50 watts/8 ohms Class-A), the S1X offers a half-size form factor and the transparent and detailed expressiveness that only Class A can provide. This is an iconic model that embodies Esoteric's ideals in the field of Class A stereo amplifiers.

The ESOTERIC Grandioso M1 monoblock is equipped with two separate toroidal power transformers for powering voltage and current amplification cascades. Specially designed storage capacitors for powering current cascades have a total capacity of 60,000 UF, and each transformer is designed for a capacity of more than 3,000 VA. A separate power supply is provided for the amplifier control circuits.

The Voyage I20 operates in a modified AB gain class, the G class. It allows the powerful i20 circuits to fit into a thin case without overheating. The I20 monitors input and output signals, and the smart MOSFET circuit instantly switches to a higher voltage if needed. The analog preamp uses a high-quality resistor on the MUSES ladder attenuator, which provides accurate volume with extremely low distortion.

The Creek 4040A is equipped with a DAC unit based on the Sabre ES9023 chip from ESS Technology. The device can receive digital content not only via optical and coaxial digital inputs, but also via the USB-B interface. There is also a Bluetooth adapter version 5.0 with support for the aptX HD codec.

The Yamaha A-S201 integrated amplifier is an affordable, modern model that will meet the needs of many music lovers. The device is made in a solid case with a strict front panel, the placement of controls on which is well thought out. The user-friendly display provides a convenient indication of the selected input and the main operating modes. The device is equipped with a remote control.

The Yamaha A-S501 Silver integrated amplifier has certain visual similarities with the A-S301 model, as it combines the elegance of the aluminum front panel and the smoothness of the volume control. Using the coaxial input, the signal can be received from the Blu-ray player.

The Yamaha A-S701 integrated amplifier differs from its analogues by increased workloads on its components and the introduction of high-end sound circuits. The elegant metal construction, which has high anti-resonance properties, is able to protect the internal elements from damage. The model is characterized by the ability to connect digital devices, due to the presence of optical and coaxial connectors.

The Yamaha AS 2200 uses fully balanced circuitry and uses the highest-end components. There is also balanced switching, as well as a built-in phono corrector for both movable magnet (MM) and movable coil (MC) heads. Developing up to 160 Watts in each channel when operating on a load with a nominal resistance of 4 ohms, the amplifier demonstrates a damping coefficient exceeding 250.

The output power of the Yamaha A-S3200 is 100 Watts per channel for an 8 ohm load, the dumping factor is 250 units, and the device weighs 24.7 kilograms. The model also has a built-in phono corrector for MM and MS heads.

The Yamaha M-5000 uses a fully balanced circuit and symmetrical MOSFET transistor design with isolated right and left sides of the power supply. Another feature of the device is the Rigid Frame Structure case with Mechanical Ground Concept decoupling.
