Fantastisk flott integrert forsterker som låter helt fantastisk på det aller meste. Dønn tyst på AG Trio og står ikke langt tilbake for mine MYE dyrere saker.
Følger med ett ekstra sett rør av typen ECC83.
Tim mener selv at ett rørsett holder til 20 år med normal musikkavspilling.
The V20 is the latest brain child of Tim de Paravicini; it is a completely new concept in valve amplifier design. Forget all other more conventional designs, the V20 is a totally ?clean sheet of paper? design. The output valves are the indirectly heated ECC83 twin triode type, 10 per channel, operated in a parallel push pull class ?A? circuit featuring Enhanced Triode Mode; as used in both the EAR859 Single Ended Triode Amplifier, and EAR 861 push pull triode amplifier. This circuit provides superb linearity, and very low distortion. In addition, the V20 uses Tim?s highly developed Balanced Bridge Mode ultra wide bandwidth output transformer, and no overall feedback.
The key design parameters were to extend frequency response at both ends of the spectrum, improve low level detail, and provide perfect loudspeaker coupling. All of these points have been successfully achieved in the V20, with superb reliability from the low priced triode output valves. The name V20 was inspired by Tim?s passion for the motor car, and in particular, the famous V12 Jaguar engine.
Comparisons to the best motor car engine in the world are very valid, for this amplifier is so very smooth & sophisticated. There is very little to give this amplifier away as a valve amplifier, openness, speed & authority, are three good words to describe it.
Gi Bud!
