The Soprano is a beautiful sounding valve amplifier from Synthesis. Luigi's latest design brings technology and valves together for a sophisticated sound at entry level pricing.
The Soprano provides a minimum of 12 Watts per channel, power output from a pair of EL84's in Ultra-Linear (UL) - push/pull operation and features a newly designed custom output transformer resulting in a rich sound stage but with an authority that belies its 12Wpc.
FEATURES
- Phono stage: Hi quality Phono stage for MM cartridges.
- SPDIF inputs (Coax and Optical) Built around a AKM chip. 24 Bit 192KHz Hi Quality DAC for an extraordinary sound result.
- USB: DAC on board 24bit for a extraordinary listening experience from computer’s file.
- The Output transformer uses a Hi-Grade iron-Silicon for superb frequency reproduction & width. This newly designed custom output transformer. unique to the Soprano achieves a highly delicate & precise sound reproduction faithful to the original recording.
- The power supply & output transformers are held by an extremely rigid structure that keeps the unit free from unwanted vibrations which further helps reduce unwanted noise to the tubes.
- Gold plated professional binding posts along with Ceramic sockets for continued oxidization free connection, further improving sound refinement.
