[ROGOZ AUDIO ANTI-VIBRATION PLATFORM 6T2R1/BBS for TAD Reference One]
February 5, 2014[ fs : YAMAMOTO CA -03 L preamplifier ]
February 7, 2014We have a great pleasure to announce that about what we secretly knew, but we couldn’t say so ;] ,until now. Ladies and Gentleman we are happy to introduce the latest new born from Encore 7th, their NEW Egg-Shell Prestige 10WKT amplifier !
As all amplifiers from Prestige range this one also shares company’s innovative woodwind enclosure, which not only looks lovely DECO, but also helps to vent a room effectively to keep the valves happy. As all Egg Shells this also employs valves in V type, engine like layout to distinguish it from the crowd. And what is most important it also uses simplest possible signal path design for the full sonic bloom ;]
What is new here is a remote, something you can not see on the picture right now, but it soon will be presented in the full glory. Prestige 10WKT amplifier is company’s first model into which this feature had been incorporated. Of course manual bypass is there to stay, as well as for the purists who are not bothered about remote or any kind of convenience, dedicated purely to sonic landscape – Classic, purely manual Egg -Shell amps will still be always available for less over entire production range.
Few ” face-lifting” features had been launched on the same occasion.You can now see that the quality of the inputs used for the build as well as the speaker terminals had been replaced with the higher quality sort ones. All the process doesn’t change the retail price and it also extends to entire product range in an offer.
All Egg-Shell Prestige amplifiers are using Pentode valves, however they are connected to work in a Triode circuit ( EL 34 amps ) or Tetrode ( KT 88 amp ).This is the only way to hear how such valves are really capable to sound like if are not forced to do the team work in Push -Pull circuits. If you are thinking that you know very well how EL34 or KT 88 valves are sounding like – then think again and listen to the soloist , as it doesn’t come in the same way as it does in the choir.
Please have a look at the technical specification of the new, Kt 88 valves based Egg-Shell Prestige 10WKT amplifier.
