Hand-built in Italy from steel, hardwood and stainless-steel shielding, it pairs one of the sweetest single-ended Class A tube stages on the market with looks that have quietly inspired a whole design trend.

Class A designs like this run on high current and stay in their sweet spot at all times, so what reaches your speakers is rich, dimensional and free of the crossover hardness that plagues lesser designs. The rated 12 watts per channel sounds modest on paper, but with real-world speakers this amplifier drives them with surprising authority and effortless flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Be Lived With\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of steel and wood isn't only about looks — it does double duty as electromagnetic shielding and vibration damping.

Seven selectable digital filters let you fine-tune the sound to taste, while USB handles hi-res audio up to 384 kHz and DSD256. On the analogue side, the transparent preamplifier borrows circuitry from Cyrus's flagship Pre-XR — a relay-based input selector and a short, high-performance signal path — and a wideband power stage flat from DC to beyond 100 kHz keeps the audible band free of phase distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVinyl Ready, Properly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpin records?
