Please read below some of the startling technical specifications for two of the products from Germany-based Einstein Audio which we currently feature in our own audio demonstrations, and for which we are most proud to be an authorized distributor.
'The Absolute Tune' Dual Mono Integrated Amplifier
This fully-integrated unit represents an absolute innovation in amplifier technology. Fully balanced PPP circuitry prevents the typical THD signature of transistors while the complete absence of power supply ripple resolves even the smallest of signals. There is no noise voltage to mask the music signal. The sonic signature is determined solely by the tube input stage with two double triodes to be entirely independent of playback levels.
The Absolute Tune's persuasiveness rests squarely on explosive speeds, finely nuanced microdynamics and unmitigated transparency.
Specifications:
- S/N ratio better than 95dB
- Transistor Harmonic Distortion less than 0.02%
- Channel Separation better than 80db
- Damping factor better than 200/8 ohms
- Output power 50 watts into 8 ohms / 85 watts into 4 ohms
- Input sensitivity 2V for full rated power
- Tube complement: 4 x E88CC/6922 dual triodes
- Weight approx. 18 kg.
'The Last Record Player' Tube-Driven CD Player
To quote the engineers themselves: “This CD player is accompanied by a long list of notable technical details but to adequately hint at its sonic qualities, one single comment shall suffice: The EINSTEIN CD Player is ‘The Last Record Player.’”
And true to its name, The Last Record Player's pristine and absolutely distortion-free output will put any and all other digital players out of thought for the uncompromising audiophile looking to maximize a pristine playback. Especially when used in conjunction with Einstein’s amplification units (see above), this unit really will be the last CD player anyone should ever need.
Specifications:
- High-current tube output stage
- Ultra-low output impedance
- Separate power supplies for analog and digital sections
- Passive custom analog filter
- Mechanically robust top-loading system w/ magnetic disc hold
- S/N ratio better than 99dB (A rated)
- Transistor harmonic distortion less than 0.05%
- Output impedance 50 ohms
- D/A converter with 24-bit resolution
- Tube complement: 4 x E88CC/6922 dual triode
- Weight approx. 17 kg
