Fezz Audio Olympia – a New Line of Tube Amplifiers
15.01.2025 06:56 | ~1 minute read
Fezz Audio has introduced the Fezz Olympia Mono Power Amplifier and the Fezz Olympia Dual Mono Amplifier. The models are based on KT88 tubes and offer high output power.
Fezz Olympia Mono Power Amplifier is a pair of monoblock power amplifiers that offers 150 W. The model is based on 4 x KT88 + 1 x 12AX7 + 1 x 12AU7 tubes (parallel push-pull configuration) and has a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.1% up to 100 W or 1% at full power. With a damping factor of 30, the devices can work even with complex loudspeakers.

Fezz Olympia Dual Mono Amplifier is an integrated amplifier with a slot for future upgrade to a Bluetooth streamer, DAC or phono preamplifier. 8 x KT88 + 2 x 12AX7 + 2 x 12AU7 tubes provide 2 x 100 W of power, and the dual mono configuration allows easily control the speakers. The model also has a convenient standby function and a 2-minute pre-heating cycle before starting the equipment, allowing the tubes to reach optimal operating modes, a new automatic bias adjustment system, and an electronic tube protection fuse.
