These linear supplies are usually unregulated and the capacitors help to remove ripple produced by the audio and by the AC line. In contrast, the AHB2 uses a tightly regulated resonant switching power supply that includes a very fast control loop. This control loop responds to audio-frequency load changes and keeps the supply voltage constant without the use of a large bank of capacitors. This active regulation is much more effective than capacitive energy-storage. Consequently, the peak power output of the AHB2 does not vary with line voltage or audio loading.

Tellurium Q plays it close to the vest when it comes to technical information, but as far as sonics go, I was greatly impressed by their performance. I spent a lot of time crawling around between my speakers and amps, swapping them in and out and back in because I could not believe how well they performed.

Edgar Villchur and Henry Kloss worked together to bring the original AR-1, and several later models, including the well-known AR-3, to market. Several brands, including KLH, would adopt the acoustic suspension principle and use it in their loudspeakers designs for many years to come. This design principle dominated the speaker market well into the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an acoustic suspension design, the volume of air inside the enclosure serves as a cushion of air, or air spring, to provide a restoring force for the woofer cone. The air inside the enclosure essentially becomes the dominant part of the woofer’s suspension. Since the volume of air inside the enclosure is more linear than the mechanical parts of the woofer’s suspension, this enables the woofer’s diaphragm to move more linearly. This enables the driver to operate at higher excursions with less distortion than more traditional bass-reflex-type systems. Acoustic suspension systems are regarded all over the world for their greater accuracy, tighter bass transients, and exceptional bass resolution and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDedicated Midrange Driver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KLH Model Five is a 3-way design featuring a dedicated midrange driver housed in its own internal enclosure. It’s the midrange driver’s responsibility to handle the most significant, middle part, of the audio spectrum. This portion of the audio band contains the vocal and musical instrument fundamentals which are most familiar to the human ear; and where accuracy, or inaccuracies, are most easily detected. In a three-way design, having a dedicated midrange means the driver can be optimized for this specific use since it doesn’t have the additional burden of reproducing lower \u0026amp; higher frequencies in the audio band. This results in truly remarkable clarity of vocals \u0026amp; instruments with less distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 42Hz - 20,000Hz +\/- 3dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Frequency Extension: -10dB @ 32Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-Room Sensitivity: 90.5dB @ 2.83V \/ 1M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree-field Sensitivity: 87.5dB @ 2.83V \/ 1M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Handling: 200 Watts \/ 800 Watts Peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Amplification: 200 Watts to 200 Watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-Room Maximum SPL: 112.3dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 6 Ohms (3.5 ohm minimum @ 140 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal Dispersion: 140° \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures: Three-Position Acoustic Balance Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover Frequency:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMF: 380Hz (2nd Order Electro-Acoustic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHF: 2,850Hz (2nd Order Electro-Acoustic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-Frequency Driver: 1\" Aluminum Dome with Soft Rubber Suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-Frequency Driver: 4\" Pulp-Paper Cone with Reverse Roll Rubber Suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-Frequency Driver: 10\" Pulp-Paper Cone with Reverse Roll Rubber Suspension, 2\" Diameter Flat-Wire Voice Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosure Material: Structurally Reinforced 3\/4\" Medium Density Fiberboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: Five-Way Gold-Plated Binding Posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith Riser Base: 13.75\" x 34.25\" x 13\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithout Riser Base: 13.75\" x 26\" x 11.5\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith Riser Base: 44lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithout Riser Base: 52lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: 5º Slant Riser Base\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"578\" width=\"1027\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vggRusbYa20\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctmpopup style=\"top: 2889px; left: 295.75px;\"\u003e\u003ctmpopupcolor style=\"background: #dd99ff;\" id=\"tmpopupcolor--1\"\u003e\u003c\/tmpopupcolor\u003e\u003ctmpopupcolor style=\"background: #66bbff;\" id=\"tmpopupcolor--2\"\u003e\u003c\/tmpopupcolor\u003e\u003ctmpopupcolor style=\"background: #55ff55;\" id=\"tmpopupcolor--3\"\u003e\u003c\/tmpopupcolor\u003e\u003ctmpopupcolor style=\"background: #ff6666;\" id=\"tmpopupcolor--4\"\u003e\u003c\/tmpopupcolor\u003e\u003ctmpopupcolor style=\"background: #ffcc00;\" id=\"tmpopupcolor--5\"\u003e\u003c\/tmpopupcolor\u003e\u003ctmpopupcolor style=\"background: #ffee00;\" id=\"tmpopupcolor--m\"\u003e\u003c\/tmpopupcolor\u003e\u003c\/tmpopup\u003e","brand":"KLH","offers":[{"title":"West African Mahogany with Old World Linen Grille","offer_id":40626538479766,"sku":"KLH-F00060","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"English Walnut with Stonewash Linen Grille","offer_id":40626538512534,"sku":"KLH-F00071","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nordic Noir with Medici Grey Linen Grille","offer_id":42994596905203,"sku":"KLH-F00078","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/products\/nsO0URro_2x_12a6cce5-3091-4058-a240-d6a05b47ef6e.jpg?v=1709946841"},{"product_id":"rega-planar-8-turntable","title":"Rega Planar 8 Turntable","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/files\/planar_8_hero_03__2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1625457383\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003ePlanar 8\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Planar 8 was inspired by the ultimate Rega turntable, the ‘Naiad’.

Their rigidity enables to strongly reproduce each impact while leaving space for the vocal range, thus keeping an airy sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/files\/hifi_awards_commended_190_2020-720x720_1_100x100.jpg?v=1643201222\" width=\"100x100\" height=\"100x100\" data-mce-style=\"float: none;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/files\/hifi_awards_commended_190_2020-720x720_1_100x100.jpg?v=1643201222\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Unlike quite a few price-comparablerivals, the BR03s don’t confuse excitement with shouting... their emphasis on drive, vigour, punch and all aspects of music- making can turn every tune into a…\" -December 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trianglehifi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201203_HIFI190_AWARDS_Borea_BR03-EN.pdf\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.trianglehifi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201203_HIFI190_AWARDS_Borea_BR03-EN.pdf\"\u003eREAD THE REVIEW\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/files\/logo-award_highly_recommended-720x515_100x100.jpg?v=1643201228\" alt=\"\" style=\"float: none;\" data-mce-style=\"float: none;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/files\/logo-award_highly_recommended-720x515_100x100.jpg?v=1643201228\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The BR03 is vicelessly and sensationally good.

Every so often there is an opportunity to do some ‘design splicing’. All of that valuable knowledge and experience is combined into the TZ VIBE.”\u003cbr\u003eRon Sutherland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRon Sutherland has been making phono preamps for a very long time. By focusing almost exclusively on phono preamps, his design and circuitry has benefited from continued refinement and improvement over the years. All of those designs were based upon voltage amplification. The cartridge delivers a small voltage to the phono preamp input. This voltage is then multiplied to create a larger output voltage (along with RIAA EQ). A typical voltage multiplier of 1,000 can also be expressed as 60dB. One millivolt in → one volt out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent times you may have noticed a new kind of phono preamp design, usually referred to as ‘current input’ or ‘trans-impedance’. Until recently, that approach has been very much in the background. However, many audiophiles are now switching over to this style of phono preamplification because it offers some serious benefits. The first trans-impedance phono preamp released by Sutherland Engineering was the PHONO LOCO, which is an ‘all-out’ very high-performance design. Following the immediate success of the PHONO LOCO, there naturally followed a challenge to bring a big measure of that performance to a lower priced model. Sutherland launched the LITTLE LOCO but in recent times, Ron responded to a call to create a trans-impedance phono preamp at an even more accessible price point – the TZ VIBE! The design has combined elements from two of their well established and highly regarded products. The KC VIBE provides the foundation and second gain stage. The little LOCO Mk2 provides the transimpedance (TZ) input gain stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to a rapidly growing number of music lovers around the world, these new ‘current input’ or ‘trans-impedance’ design phono preamplifiers are attracting a lot of attention and respect because they have a unique ability to ‘dig deep into the music’ and ‘bring it to life’. They are dead quiet and very dynamic. The TZ VIBE has most of the magic that has made the LITTLE LOCO an instant classic but at a much -reduced pricing level. As long as you use exclusively MC phono cartridges, the TZ VIBE will not only enthral you… it is a true giant killer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Current Input?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, the input signal comes from the current flowing through the cartridge, NOT the voltage from the cartridge. That current information is the input for a transimpedance gain stage (the input signal is current and the output signal is voltage). The connections on the back panel of the TZ VIBE appear to be totally conventional. There is a ground screw for grounding the turntable, two RCA jacks for the input signal from the turntable and two RCA jacks deliver an output signal to your line-level preamp. There is, however, a requirement that both coil connections float with respect to ground. Turntable grounds and cable shields need to go to a separate ground wire. There must be no direct connection from either coil side to chassis ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSystem Considerations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TZ VIBE presents a virtual short as the cartridge load. Instead of voltage being the input parameter, it is the current generated by the cartridge that conveys musical content. The endless worry about finding the ‘best’ load value is obviated. The cartridge must be the moving coil type. Those with low output will be embraced. \u003cu\u003eNot compatible with moving magnet or moving iron or step-up transformers\u003c\/u\u003e. Thanks to the new little LOCO Mk2 circuit, the shell of the RCA input jack is now at ground. There are no special TT cable requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLoad Settings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no loading adjustments in the TZ VIBE. Your cartridge will see a load of zero Ohms. The input signal will be the current your cartridge produces into that virtual short. No need to worry about or fuss around with loading choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGain Settings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour TZ VIBE is factory-set to medium gain. That should work very well in most situations. The usual concerns about cartridge output voltage do not apply here. Cartridges of varied output voltage specs tend to supply about the same level of drive current into a short. i.e. higher output voltages usually have an associated higher internal resistance. Lower output voltages usually have an associated lower internal resistance.\u003cbr\u003eIf your particular situation would benefit from a gain adjustment, you can change it. Inside, on the red circuit board, you will see movable shunts for gain setting. From the factory, they are set to MED GAIN. You can boost the output voltage by 6dB when the shunts are moved to HIGH GAIN. You can reduce the output voltage by 6dB when the shunts are moved to LOW GAIN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDESIGN PHILOSOPHY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTZ VIBE\u003c\/strong\u003e design has combined elements from two of our well established and highly regarded products.

When designing a tube amplifier, most designers create a circuit, then try to find a tube that best fits the application. Air Tight choose a tube which has wonderful musical attributes, then designs a circuit to best serve that tube. This is one of the reasons that Air Tight amplifiers sound so pure and alive – cohesive design, synergistic selection of components and heirloom quality execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e38 years ago, Air Tight’s first amplifier was the ATM-1, which used the EL-34 tube in a push-pull configuration. This was followed years later by the legendary ATM-1S which was made right up until 2023. The ATM-1 2024 edition (also known as the ATM-1E) is a brand new design of the ATM-1 concept released in 2024 and draws on the culmination of almost 4 decades of experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork on the ATM-1E started in 2022 with the view of modernising the ATM concept. The output transformer \u0026amp; choke coil was designed and supplied from Tamura, and internally, the new amplifier has a completely redesigned circuit. Another difference from the original ATM-1 is the bias adjustment. The ATM-1E is equipped with a new accurate bias meter and independent bias ampere volume controls on top of the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Air Tight philosophy dictates that to build a great amplifier takes time. Time to really understand the nature of that valve, time to experiment, adjust, listen, hone, evolve and refine the design so that it is a pure expression of that valve’s best capabilities. This philosophy informs as to what to expect from the ATM-1S. This is not just a stereo amplifier of the highest quality. It is also the company’s statement of the ultimate evolution of this type of amplifier partnering with these valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompare this design philosophy and hand-made ‘coachbuilding’ attention to detail to your typical mass-produced amplifier available at most hi-fi shops. It is so rare to have this traditional approach applied to anything today, let alone a power amplifier at this level of cost. The ATM-1E is a beautiful, bespoke amplifier that combines heritage, brand credibility, audiophile performance with a touch of nostalgia. It has an uncanny ability to produce music with a natural tone, an inner glow that infuses every note, every lyric and passage. When you’re no longer interested in the intellectual critique, when all you want to do is listen to music and simply enjoy… the ATM-1E is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrthodox circuitry composed of a Mullard phase inverter with NFb under UL connection reproduces the sublime treble with second-to-none musicality inherent in the acclaimed EL34 valve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHefty headroom in output capability achieved by a newly developed transformer boasting of 60W handling capacity ensures stable operation for long term use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBias adjustment facilities (meter, switch \u0026amp; pots) provided for easy service-accessibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetained unchanged are those outstanding features such as point-to-point wiring without PCB, OFC wiring, etc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCD-direct input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper-plated chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHiFi News, Ken Kessler, 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith that attitude, there’d be no more mechanical Rolexes, only throwaway watches.

The AirTight is as serious an EL34 amplifier as I’ve heard, offering texture, colour, poise, and musical drive and rightness, all in good proportion to one another.

The Moonriver Model 404 Reference achieves even better performance over the Standard Model, while retaining a sensible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like the Standard Model 404, the 404 Reference amplifier will extract hidden elements, and render textures from within any audio format; but with the capability to drive any speaker on the market – despite its moderate power. Only the source, speakers and room will set the performance limit. Its culture will suit all music, as the Model 404 is by design, set to define the faintest nuances of which tonal integrity is composed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power supply section has been improved to the maximum. The 404 standard uses a total of 57000uf capacitance. The 404 Reference lifts the capacitance to a spectacular 107000uf of which 21000 of them are reserved for the preamp only. This enormous increment expands the driving behaviour; the dynamic character; digs out more detail; low level information; a deeper and more articulate soundtstage; space between instruments is vast, while the bass has greater authority and is more confident than ever before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture of each individual instrument is exposed exponentially in comparison with the Standard version. A fully discrete preamp section serves to provide acute dynamic awareness, while a high output stage that is custom-optimised for bandwidth and distortion, gives neutral character and transient fidelity. A sophisticated selection of components fuses the design against tonal traits, therefore preserving naturalness throughout the shortest feasible signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, an integrated phono stage, USB DAC, (two) preamp outputs and a tape monitor loop expand functionality to form an ideally flexible integrated amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Ergonomics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe had a very clear vision when conceiving the Model 404 Reference amplifier: Classic design with a modern touch; high-quality materials such as over-sized aluminum controls, solid walnut cheeks, sturdy chassis and an ergonomic user interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no ‘for show’ aesthetics here, no display with complicated serial menus and hidden functions, nor a single multi-function knob for ‘minimalistic’ purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Model 404 is pure and minimal, but the interface is user-oriented and easy to operate by anyone in seconds, with no need to resort to the user manual.

The USB DAC may also be upgraded with a newer version to meet future needs and technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBalance Control\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may find this feature to be vanishingly scarce in audiophile products as a result of today’s ‘minimalist’ design mentality and the various myths accompanying it. However, balance control addresses a common problem: speakers that are positioned in asymmetry, in a non-balanced room environment. It therefore provides the simplest tweak towards achieving a proper soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiving rooms and house furniture are meant to serve everyday life and may not be positioned in an ideal listening spot, evenly distanced from each speaker to form an equilateral triangle. It is also not uncommon for one speaker to have to be placed nearer room boundaries than the other, having various frequencies boosted in a more or less predictable pattern. More often than not, balance control is incredibly useful as it drastically helps overcome volume level unevenness and in some cases, even reclaiming the stereo effect and the resulting focused sound stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is to be expected, the way the balance control is implemented on the Moonriver 404 Reference amplifier – in parallel, will not degrade or affect the signal in any way that is determinable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDiscovering the layout\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel 404 Reference, like the standard model, incorporates no less than 5 separate power supplies, each featuring overload protection. The power amplifier specifically runs on a dual mono configuration, beginning from separate windings on the toroidal transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWBT nextgenTM speaker terminals ensure the massive flow of current from the amplifier’s output stage, is able to drive even “difficult to drive” speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignal switches are implemented via relays, while volume attenuation is trusted on the legendary blue ALPS pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft start circuit based on a 30A relay ensures that even the on\/off switch is thought out to work with virtually no burden or wear for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 404 Reference chassis reduces unwanted resonant vibrations even further with absorbent materials, and better integral mechanical support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComponents are carefully selected for both suitability and reliability. We make no use of surface-mount in analog circuits, despite the fact that through-hole production costs more, and requires advanced space management \u0026amp; layout strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach element utilised has to be of proven stability and sustained higher performance – proficient implementation provided, before making it into our analog paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for the sound, we are not to say whether Model 404 Reference is virtually transparent or inherently forgiving. Voicing it to appreciate the playlist and respect the user at all times has been the sum of all of our effort; \u003cem\u003ea sincere effort to achieve effortlessness.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Importance of Tape Monitor Loop\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of today’s manufacturers probably reject the idea of their product featuring a tape loop. At Moonriver Audio, it has been concluded that the tape monitor loop is essential. Not only does it add the option of monitoring the difference between recorded and source material in real-time, it also, and most importantly, makes possible to insert to the chain – at will – a digital or analogue room correction processor, a buffer, a noise reduction system or any other line device available to improve the sound of a connected source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStereo\/Mono Switch\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pristine era of analogue recording being long gone, features like the stereo\/mono switch have been gradually chased out into obsolescence. Who wants to go back to one when they have two channels? “Less is more” and “more is better”. Well…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the resurgence and interest in vinyl, whether the current rage; fashion or a real movement, countless monaural pressings emerge out there, often along with their digital… image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToo many of them, among others waiting to be rediscovered, have currently become collector’s items, 78 rpm direct-cut gems being no exception. This is not unreasonable, as what happened between say the 30s and the 80s in terms of both musical interpretation and recording technique is by many considered to be “most of the music” – this sentence doing perhaps no justice to stunning actual developments in creation and reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stereo\/mono switch gives you the chance to enjoy recording art milestones with respect to how they were initially intended to please; in genuine mono, 2-channel, doing away with artificial phase discrepancies induced by a mandatory stereo mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, ‘less’ may well be ‘more’, but ‘better’ is to have a choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOptional Phono Stage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel 404 Reference comes with two options in the phono stage department; one is MM only and the other is MM\/MC selectable. Both follow the exact quality principles that Model 404 Reference is built on. Quality components and massive power supplies are also employed here, to efficiently accommodate very low noise, high performance op-amps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/files\/Screenshot_2025-02-27_at_06-24-22_The_404_Reference_integrated_amplifier_Moonriver_Audio_1024x1024.png?v=1740610318\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gain in the MM\/MC phono can be adjusted, simply by changing the dip switches position.

The SPDIF supports PCM streams up to 192kHz\/24bit due to the limitation of the SPDIF (coaxial) specifications. There are 3 separated power supplies with very low noise regulators, 2 for the ESS dac board and 1 for the analog circuit. The capacitor bank is massive and it uses 42000uF (in case of 404 Reference) from the power amplifier’s power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecially care has been given to the voicing of the analog output stage to match the dynamic and natural character of Moonriver sound.

When the orchestra gets loud and complex, or the band really starts to rock it out, most power amplifiers get out of their comfort zone and we hear their stress and strain as compression. The M1200 was designed to play any music into any loudspeaker with zero compression. Rated at 600 Watts into 8Ω and a whopping 1200 Watts into 4Ω, the M1200 combines the best of two worlds: ultra-linear, high-current, ICE Edge Class D technology for the output stage; and a discrete, Class-A vacuum tube for the all-important input stage. The M1200’s rich, warm, and beautifully nuanced reproduction of music comes first from the zero feedback, class A vacuum tube input stage. Here nothing is lost in its hand-selected 12AU7 vacuum tube, fed from its own analog power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTHE VACUUM TUBE INPUT\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/files\/Technology_1_Square-768x768-1.jpg?v=1712925276\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power amplifier is technology always present in stereo systems. Yet, despite the fact everyone uses them, few appreciate the power amp’s critical role in preserving music’s nuanced details because most amplifiers fail to preserve them. Overtones from plucked instruments, subtle cues defining placement, depth, soundstage width, and transient decays are often lost in the power amplifier. The M1200 loses nothing because of its vacuum tube input stage. In the M1200 a zero feedback class A vacuum tube input stage captures every whisper of music while preserving intact the most dynamic crescendos and quick rise time transients with zero loss. The listening experience with the M1200 is nothing short of a revelation. Where most amplifiers do their best to preserve dynamics, they fail to present them as if they were live.

The design blends the best of both FET and BJT technologies, combining the finesse and linearity of FETs with the dynamic control and drive of BJTs. Fully complementary from input to output, the gain stage maintains perfect symmetry and balance, operating in pure Class A, direct-coupled and servo-controlled for absolute signal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this stage apart is its innovative take on the folded cascode topology. Traditional cascodes use stacked transistors to improve gain and bandwidth, but the folded version \"bends\" the signal path, allowing high voltage swing, low noise, and wide bandwidth without the instability or harshness of conventional designs.

Now, after decades of innovation, we proudly unveil the PMG Signature 512 DAC. At its core is the PureStream DSD512 engine, converting any form of digital audio into a pure 8X DSD stream—no PCM, no decimation, no compromise. That stream feeds our SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer, lowering noise and distortion while perfectly time-aligning the signal. From there, it flows into a state-of-the-art, direct-coupled analog output stage. The result is breathtaking—fluid, natural, and as analog as it gets. With a built-in high-end streamer for seamless access to your music, the 512 is our best DAC ever. For the first time in PS Audio’s history, our founder’s name graces a DAC. Yes, it’s that good. And this time, it’s personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDesign\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigning the PMG Signature 512 DAC was never about meeting expectations—it was about redefining what a digital source could be. This is a radical departure not only from traditional PCM-based architectures but also from conventional DSD implementations and off-the-shelf chip solutions. At its core is our all-new PureStream DSD512 engine, a proprietary design that upsamples every input—PCM or DSD—to a native 8X DSD stream. That stream is then refined by our SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer, a precision digital filter engineered to eliminate jitter, reduce noise, and preserve every nuance of the music. The result is pure sonic truth, passed into a fully balanced, direct-coupled analog output stage. With galvanically isolated inputs, a built-in high-performance streamer, and precision analog volume control, the PMG 512 is not just a DAC—it’s the heart of a no-compromise reference system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eApplication\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PMG Signature 512 DAC is as versatile as it is revolutionary—and a major step above even the finest DACs we’ve ever built. Use it as a standalone directly into your power amplifier, thanks to its ultra-precise analog volume control, and experience purity, dynamics, and realism like never before. At its heart is PS Audio’s latest high-definition streaming module, fully galvanically isolated to eliminate noise and preserve absolute musical integrity. Whether paired with the PMG Signature Preamplifier for the ultimate reference system or run solo into your amp, the 512 delivers sound that is breathtakingly clear, natural, and alive. This isn’t just high-end performance. This is a whole new benchmark. The PMG Signature 512 DAC is music, uncompromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOverview\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of the PMG Signature 512 DAC as the ultimate destination in digital audio—a no-compromise centerpiece for the most revealing high-performance systems.

Built around our PureStream DSD512 engine and SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer, and featuring a fully balanced, direct-coupled analog output stage, the PMG 512 delivers sound with breathtaking realism, depth, and musicality. It supports I²S for a perfect connection to our top transport, and includes a world-class galvanically isolated streamer. Replace your DAC, your streamer—or even your preamplifier—and prepare to be stunned by the transformation. Rich. Pure. Effortless. The PMG Signature 512 DAC is the product of over fifty years of innovation and the first to carry the name of our founder. It’s not just the best DAC we’ve ever built—it’s the best DAC we know how to imagine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePurestream DSD512 Engine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the PMG Signature 512 DAC is a breakthrough in digital audio: our PureStream DSD512 engine. Running at a blazing 22MHz, PureStream upsamples any incoming PCM or DSD signal to a native 8X DSD stream—far beyond standard formats and completely free from PCM conversion or decimation. This ultra-high-resolution DSD stream is then passed through our SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer, which time-aligns and refines the signal with surgical precision, lowering noise and distortion while preserving every musical nuance. From there, it flows directly into a simple, elegant analog low-pass filter—no complex conversion stages, just pure music.\u003cbr\u003eThe 512 doesn’t rely on off-the-shelf DAC chips. This is a custom-designed platform built from the ground up to achieve what no other DAC has: sonic transparency with SINAD better than -100dB and vanishingly low output noise. Multiple ultra-stable reclocking circuits, galvanic isolation between all digital inputs, and full separation between digital and analog sections ensure jitter-free, noise-immune performance.\u003cbr\u003eAnd yes, the PMG Signature 512 also features our renowned Digital Lens technology, ensuring that incoming digital data is perfectly reorganized and reclocked before ever reaching the PureStream engine. Every effort in its design—from input to output—is focused on preserving imaging, tonal richness, and musical truth. One listen, and you’ll know: this is unlike anything you’ve heard before. The PMG Signature 512 DAC is not just a component—it’s a revolution in digital audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAn Inside Look\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer is a groundbreaking solution within the PMG Signature 512 DAC, unlike anything used in traditional digital filters. Engineered as a fully discrete, patent-pending FIR architecture, SpectraWave operates at the same extreme 22MHz sample rate as our PureStream DSD512 engine. Designed from the ground up to handle ultra-high-speed data streams, its 64 precisely tuned taps work in real time to align musical transients with absolute accuracy, ensuring perfect phase coherence and eliminating timing smear.\u003cbr\u003eWhere typical filters introduce artifacts like pre-ringing or harmonic distortion, SpectraWave maintains the purity of the signal without compromise. It preserves the natural shape and timing of every note, creating a spacious, uncolored soundstage with lifelike presence. Instruments bloom into three-dimensional space. Transients arrive exactly when they should. Nothing is exaggerated. Nothing is lost.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the sequencer, the signal flows seamlessly into the PMG Signature’s fully balanced, direct-coupled analog output stage. This minimal-feedback circuit is designed for speed, transparency, and control. With ultra-low output impedance and high current drive, it effortlessly powers even the most demanding downstream components. There are no transformers, no coloration, and no filters to blur the truth—just a clean, open window into the soul of the music.\u003cbr\u003eThis isn’t just a better DAC. It’s a complete rethinking of what digital audio can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCLASS A BALANCED ANALOG OUTPUT STAGE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFULL FUNCTION DAC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFIXED OR VARIABLE DAC MODE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eANALOG VOLUME CONTROL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBALANCED XLR OUTPUT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIGITAL LENS TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePURESTREAM DSD 8X ENGINE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECTRAWAVE 64-TAP SEQUENCER\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHIGH-CURRENT OVERSIZED ANALOG POWER SUPPLY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSINAD EXCEEDING -100DB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNO TRANSFORMER IN OUTPUT SIGNAL PATH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQUAD RATE DSD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDSD DIRECT THROUGH I2S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVideo Review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"582\" height=\"291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1fU0LmqexpI\" title=\"Are DSD Audiophile DACs a SCAM?
