Предусилители — Ayon Audio Ayon Spheris EVO

The Spheris EVO is a flagship preamplifier from Ayon Audio, built with an exceptionally high input impedance and extraordinarily wide rated bandwidth. This model represents Ayon Audio's most ambitious preamplifier engineering, offering measured figures that place it among the more capable designs available within the brand's broader tube-focused catalogue.

Key specs that matter

Two balanced and four single-ended inputs are provided, with two balanced and one single-ended output. Input impedance is an exceptionally high 1,000,000 ohms for both connections, minimising loading effects on source components considerably more than a conventional preamplifier design. Output impedance is 30 ohms for both connections. Rated bandwidth is an extraordinary 0.5 Hz to 500 000 Hz. Signal-to-noise is 98 dB with distortion under 0.01%. At 500 x 430 x 110 mm and 43 kg it is a substantial, heavy chassis, consistent with Ayon Audio's flagship-tier tube-based engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect an exceptionally wide-bandwidth presentation with the extremely high input impedance minimising loading effects on source components - a reference-level performer reflecting Ayon Audio's characteristic tube engineering ambition taken to its flagship-tier conclusion.

Pairing

Both balanced and single-ended outputs allow it to partner with either type of power amplifier without adapters, and the exceptionally high input impedance suits virtually any source component without loading concerns.

Alternatives

Ayon Audio's Conquistador Evo Mono forms a natural partner power amplifier for a system built around this flagship preamplifier, worth pairing together for a coherently voiced, brand-consistent tube-based signal chain given the considerable investment either component represents. Given the considerable price and ambition this flagship preamplifier represents, a dealer demonstration alongside a matching Ayon Audio power amplifier is strongly worthwhile before committing, since the brand engineering philosophy likely shines most clearly in a fully matched system. Ayon Audio relatively specialist dealer network worldwide means sourcing a specialist familiar with the brand tube-based engineering is well worth the research effort at this level. Overall this remains an uncompromising flagship choice reflecting Ayon Audio absolute best tube engineering. A dealer visit remains the simplest way to compare current pricing across Ayon Audio preamplifier catalogue.
