A British company specializing in the “reissues” of classic amplifiers from the 50s and 60s of the last century has introduced its inaugural power amplifier – the Mullard 3-3. This stereo single-ended circuit is constructed based on the 60s model EL84 3.5W with EL84 output pentodes. The incorporation of direct communication between the preliminary and […] More
The Mark Levinson No. 5802 is identical to the No. 5805 in every respect, including preamp, power amplifier, and built-in D/A converter. However, there are also very significant differences. In particular, the new Mark Levinson No. 5802 is designed to work exclusively with digital sources. For this reason, it completely lacks analog inputs and a built-in phono stage. Instead, […] More
With the A-3, the Japanese high-end manufacturer Soulnote is launching a new reference integrated amplifier that combines the technologies of the Soulnote flagship models P-3 (preamplifier) and M-3 (mono power amplifier) in one housing. Soulnote A-3: Symmetrical structure and mechanical special features The Soulnote A-3 is a pure analog high-level amplifier, so apart from the […] More
