Audia has introduced the Audia Flight Three S Integrated Amplifier!

After achieving big experience with the Flight Three and also with the Strumento line, Audia Flight is proud to introduce the Flight Three S integrated amplifier.

It’s an incredible component, where every small detail is carefully thought out for the discriminating high-end audio enthusiast, and yet, offering exceptionally high value.

To thank you the optional USB 24bit 192KHz DAC board converter and the optional MC / MM phono board, the Audia Flight Three S is an investment for years!

The headphone output will give you the chance to listen your music with your headphone! The front panel, the knob and the remote control are masterpieces crafted from solid aluminium. The input selector allows the user to choose among four unbalanced and one balanced input(s), featuring sealed relays in inert atmosphere and gold terminations.

The logic control, with an independent toroidal transformer, as in our philosophy, is independent from the analogue section and connected by photo-couplers only.

A by-pass feature, selectable by remote control, allows the user to turn the Flight Three S into a power amplifier through a specified input. You may include the amplifier in a multi-channel system as front speakers power amplifier, while using the same speakers for two channel listening with stereo sources connected to the amplifier.

Rec input, Monitor and Preamp output achieve the full flexibility for this Hi-End integrated amplifier.

Two 100Wrms amplifiers with 600VA toroidal transformer, dual mono design, current feedback and sophisticated preamp section allow the stunning sonic picture of a truly high-end system, with a deep and incredible bass control.

Eight stabilized power supplies give energy to all stages until the driver and four hi-current power supply (72000µF) for the output stages only and 13200uF total capacitors for the stabilized power supply to supply the gain stage until driver transistor

A large display will inform you about the input choice and the main sets as you select them.

More, the ALPS blue potentiometer, mute function with memory, aluminium remote control with full control and the optional, internal MC / MM phono board and internal USB 24bit 192KHz DAC board converter are only few characteristics of this amazing Hi End integrated amplifier 100% made in Italy.

Phono MC-MM

USB 24bit 192KHz DAC

Note:

The USB input has insulated to prevent any noise from the PC.

When the USB is used together with a player application such as FooBar or WinAmp (available for free on Internet), you can transfer stream music files to internal converter at 192kHz/24bits maximum frequency/resolution, avoiding undesired PC or MAC audio mixer data processing during the data transfer from hard disk to interface.

Not drives are required for MAC or LINUX. Windows only required own driver.

Durob Audio is the distributor of Audia products in the BeNeLux. For more information please check the website of Audia HERE. The retailprice of the Audia Flight Three S is 2600,- Euro.

PrimaLuna ProLogue Six “The Absolute Sound Editor’s Choice Award 2015″

TAS 2015The ProLogue Six is an EL-34 based vacuum-tube mono power amplifier, hand-made with the finest point to point wiring, using workmanship that is equal to or better than any product you can buy at any price.

The amplifier is built using finest premium parts. A toroidal transformer for the powersupply. Custom designed -in conjunction with one of the most prestigious transformer-designers in the USA- encapsulated output transformers for lowest hum, wide bandwidth for great bass and extended highs. Ceramic tube sockets. Nichicon and Realcap capacitors. Gold plated heavy duty speaker terminals and gold plated input jacks.It is enclosed inside a heavy gauge steel, fully vented chassis with five coats of finish. Each coat hand rubbed and polished.

PrimaLuna ProLogue SixThe Adaptive AutoBias™ circuit, an exclusive to PrimaLuna, monitors and smoothfully adjusts bias constantly and instantly, reducing maintenance and increasing performance because of a dramatic reduction in distortion. For extended life of tubes and switches plus a reduced chance of tube failure/shorts, the amplifier uses a soft-start circuit.

Tube plate fusing is used to protect the output stage. Other amps might need a trip to the shop if a tube fails. Not this one. Just plug in a new tube and fuse, and go

PrimaLuna ProLogue Five: The Absolute Sound Editors Choice Award 2015

TAS 2015Conclusion editor: 

The 36Wpc vacuum-tube- powered ProLogue 5 is more authorative than its rating would lead you to expect, and offers a warm, rich presentation, yet really does not sound “tubey” in any traditional sense, producing clean, deep, tight bass and grandsoundstaging. A synergistic match with the companion ProLogue 3 preamp. SR, 156

PrimaLuna DiaLogue Three: The Absolute Sound Editors’ Choice Award 2015

primaluna-dialogue-threeTAS 2015Conclusion Editor:

With its massive toroidal power transformers, this true dual-mono, point-topoint-wired preamplifier is unflappable, reproducing music effortlessly and with wonderful dimensionality even through complex, dynamically challenging musical passages. While it may make many recordings sound better than they should, you can listen to it for hours without any aural fatigue. JH, 21

Below information about the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Three from the website of PrimaLuna.

Continuing with PrimaLuna’s founding principle of offering sophisticated components with advanced features for an exceptional price, the DiaLogue Three Preamplifier is yet another winner in PrimaLuna’s string of first place finishers.

One of the first things you’ll notice about the Three is its size: the dual-mono designed preamp weighs in at a hefty 24kg… that’s some serious iron! Much of that comes from its new, heavy-duty, DiaLogue class power transformers – already recognized as a reference in the industry – that provide increased control and detail.  And in the unlikely event that one of the transformers should overheat, DiaLogue’s innovative new PTP-circuit cuts the primary power, allows the unit to cool down, and then resets itself.

The preamp also features another protective measure, a SoftStart circuit that powers it up gently and extends the life of tubes and other sensitive components.

However, unquestionably the most significant feature is DiaLogue Three’s front end, a complete re-design of the award winning ProLogue Three. Utilizing all 12AU7s, it combines with the new transformers to lower noise and increase low level resolution in ways not thought possible.
In fact, distortion levels in the first stage have dropped by a factor of five at low levels, to at least 20 at higher levels, above one volt.

The DiaLogue Three is tube rectified, utilizing two 5AR4 vacuum tubes. And it employs all premium parts, including a motorized Alps Blue Velvet potentiometer; Nichicon, Swellong and  Solen capacitors (including some tinfoils); fast-recovery diodes; ceramic tube sockets; and gold-plated, panel mounted input and output jacks that provide a more secure connection.

Further, the DiaLogue Three has five line level inputs for maximum versatility, one RCA tape out and two RCA pre outs as well as a home theater pass-thru circuit that promises to keep everyone in the family happy. Finally, it comes with a stunning, heavy-gauge, anodized aluminium remote that controls all functions of the preamp as well as those of the Prologue Eight  CD player and the DiaLogue Eight CD player (coming soon).

All these exceptional features come encased in the exquisite DiaLogue chassis, with its five- stage, hand-rubbed, high-gloss, black-sapphire finish
