SW1X Audio Design AMP V Titan

AMP V is a 3 gain stage Power Amplifier coupled with a High Quality Pre-amplifier using our in house designed and in house made stepped attenuator volume control.

It is not only extremely musical but also powerful and in the same time refined sounding Integrated Amplifier.

The Directly Heated 300B Triodes at the output need no introduction. They are driven by equally powerful 6N6P/5687/E182CC driver tubes to produce seemsless linear and balanced sound.

Available in different versions: Special and the limited Signature version with different power output transformer options (Permalloy or SHiB and UHiB) and all Copper or Copper/Silver windings.

SW1X Audio Design® Range of Integrated Amplifiers
All of our Integrated Amplifiers are Pure Class A Valve Amplification with Zero NFB and most of them are Single Ended, producing therefore super Quality 2-8 Watts of power, which sound like 20-80 Watts when paired with with High Sensitivity Speakers (min 96dB/W/1m is recommended), where damping and dynamic delivery feels like 200-800 W

Being Valve amplifiers operated in Pure Class A, Single Ended mode without any kind of feedback, the circuit design is as elegantly simple as it can get.

Therefore, the quality of amplification is almost entirely dependent on the factor of Quality of Materials & Componets employed in the circuit design.

All our Integrated Amplifiers are offered in 4 versions:

• STD, all Copper wound, orient grain M6 EI Core OPTs
• Special, all Copper wound Super HiB DC Core OPTs
• Classic, Copper/Silver Windings, Super HiB DC Core OPTs
