Accustic Arts Integrated Amplifier POWER III Digital + Phono black/gold edition

Power lll is a redesigned product, and its performance and sound are superior to the previous model. The power supply and power amplification circuitry have been improved. The German-made toroidal transformer has been increased by 10% over the previous generation, reaching 600 VA; the preamp portion and the power amplifier portion are powered by independent windings, and the redundant filter capacitor reaches 80000 µF. By providing a more stable and quieter power supply it was possible to increase the output power.

Audio circuit customization and component selection are the most challenging. The electronic circuit technology continues the design of the reference series. Due to the strict selection of electronic components during assembly and testing in the German factory, engineers pay attention to the high degree of reproduction of sound details and the balance of musicality. So as to obtain the best level of sound quality. The redesigned power amplifier circuit consists of 12 carefully selected high quality bipolar power transistors, providing 230W × 2 (8 ohms) and 370W × 2 (4 ohms) output power, a significant improvement over the previous generation. The damping ratio reaches 200, which makes it easy to drive most Hi-End speakers on the market. What is particularly commendable is that while the output power of the power amplifier is significantly increased, the amplifier also provides a higher level of sound quality. Each "Top" series equipment is designed and manufactured to the highest Hi-End standards, provides continuous operation for two consecutive weeks, and will only be packed and shipped after rigorous testing.
