Tamesis - integrated amplifier
The Single Ended Ultralinear integrated amplifier, mounted on anti-vibration spikes, operates in the proprietary BonaWatt topologyParabolic Power Bias™, combining a tube analog section with digital control. The KT77 power tubes in class A are continuously managed by discrete circuits, ensuring optimal use of instantaneous power. Tamesis is a proposition for lovers of delicate sound without excessive rounding. Thanks to PPB™, it controls the bass even when combined with demanding speakers with an efficiency of 85dB/1W/1m. This is the best choice for acoustic, vocal and electronic music. The remote control functions of the accessory RC2 remote control are coherent with the knob-button on the front panel, giving full control over the device. Built-in auto bias, preheating and cooling functions after switching off carefully take care of safety and minimize the possibility of damaging the system.
