Integrated amplifiers — Trafomatic Audio Elegance Evolution

The Elegance Evolution is a tube integrated amplifier from Trafomatic Audio, sharing the brand's considered Serbian engineering philosophy in a single-chassis format without the EOS's separate power supply. The Elegance Evolution brings Trafomatic's considered engineering to a substantial single-chassis tube integrated format.

Key specs that matter

Four single-ended inputs are provided. Input sensitivity is 800mV, with input impedance at a substantial 100,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is 2 x 50W into 8 ohms - more modest than the EOS's 2 x 100W. Frequency response spans 10Hz to 45,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 84dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.03%. At 450 x 320 x 195mm and 22kg, the Elegance Evolution maintains a manageable single-chassis tube integrated amplifier design.

Sound and use context

Expect the rich, harmonically resonant character tube-based amplification is broadly celebrated for, consistent with Trafomatic's broader considered Serbian philosophy, in a convenient single-chassis format.

Pairing

The modest 2 x 50W output pairs best with notably efficient loudspeakers.

Alternatives

Trafomatic's own EOS offers a more powerful dual-chassis alternative with built-in headphone amplifier within the same broader catalogue.
