This amp is the work product of Dr. Viet Nguyen (Lead Engineer), Jean-Paul Sweitzer, Darko Marinkovic and Anthony Tuttle – all under License from Hugh Dean, Aspen Amplifiers PLC.
This initial offering (along with a matching Preamp coming soon) will absolutely create a paradigm shift as to just what can be had, and at what price… all in the name of superb musical and operational performance.
A chassis CNC machined from thick aerospace grade aluminum and finished in a satin and luxuriously rich anodized texture. Large heatsink radiator fins and hidden handles in the corner structures provide clean lines but maintain practicality. Large analog VU meters provide information on amplifier power and operation at a glance.
Details like premium Viborg solid copper 5 way binding posts provide yet another tactile sense of luxurious feel when used. Gold plated premium RCA jacks round off the suite of quality components used throughout.
The heart of the amplifier is a 40W true Class A amp (never operates outside of Class A) designed by Hugh Dean. based on the Alpha Nirvana amp topology, which provides a beautiful harmonic profile, clean and clear sound with low distortion, slamming bass from low negative feedback circuit, and a background that is absolutely quiet and noise free for the blackest of black notes. Most of all though, the Alpha Nirvana topology makes your toes want to tap, and your heart race, and your brain feel like it has fallen in love with your music collection all over again.
