Product information
Classic One is a hybrid amplifier based on tube-semiconductor technology. The preamplifier is based on a differential circuit operating in pure Class A on a Russian-made 6922 double triode. The output part is based on MOSFET field-effect transistors. Combined in one chassis, the preamplifier and final amplifier sections are completely isolated from each other and have separate power supply. All internal wiring is done with pure silver cables. Only high-quality components are used in the device. The amplifier is equipped with a motorized volume control, which is also operated by means of a MAC.
The remote control has four buttons for selecting inputs and adjusting the volume level, and it is enclosed in a solid walnut wood case. There are five RCA jacks (one of them is a recording output) and a balanced input. All input and output terminals are gold-plated.
The extraordinary design of the device deserves separate words. Its appearance reveals the interest, enthusiasm, and inspiration of the model's authors. An unexpected combination of chrome and acrylic shine with the warmth of the noble walnut wood texture, from which an expressive figured insert with the company logo is carved.
