With the final darTZeel NHB-458, it sets a new standard: after nine years of constant research and continuous development, this amplifier, not only it owns all the qualities of the NHB-108, already acclaimed by the whole audiophile world, but it goes further in revealing a very special machine in every respect.

The 800 series of amplifiers from EAR has received widespread and consistent acclaim from users and reviewers the world over. However, feedback from some quarters suggested that there was a need for an amplifier with similar sonic prowess but just a little more power.

Tim de Paravicini designed the EAR 509s with industrial grade components for reliability and performance. Built to handle the demands of professional audio environments, we added the option for it to be equipped with balanced inputs for those -professional applications.

The JA80 is a power amplifier working in pure class A. It is the first amplifier created by the JADIS in 1983; it has been upgraded several times but remains the flagship of the brand.

These amplifiers work in "push-pull" configuration, triples load and autobias.
They can work with various types of penthodes: KT120, KT90, KT88, 6550, 6CA7 or EL34.

A balanced version is also available.

Based on the same general design as the JA80, this masterpiece of equipment offers the same sound quality with an unbelievable capability to drive the most difficult existing loads.

Capable of 160 watts per channel in pure Class A and 200W with the KT150, its unique power capability and dynamic behaviour are combined for the first time in vacuum-tube amplifier history, with the ultra low distortion and transparency of the best low-power exotic Class A designs.

Duo 300 2 Channel Power Amplifier 300 Watt Amplifier Featuring Krell iBias Technology Krell iBias Class A amplifiers are the first to deliver the rich musicality of Class A amplifiers, the uncompromised dynamics of classic Krell amplifiers, and the efficiency and low power consumption of Class G and H amplifiers.

Solo 575 Mono Power Amplifier 575 Watt Amplifier Featuring Krell iBias Technology Mono Amplifiers Krell iBias Class A amplifiers are the first to deliver the rich musicality of Class A amplifiers, the uncompromised dynamics of classic Krell amplifiers, and the efficiency and low power consumption of Class G and H amplifiers.

Is this a miracle? Is this a unique situation where a company just happens to stumble upon a perfect design and execution? No. It’s another PrimaLuna. And our fifth product in a row to earn a coveted Stereophile Class A rating. No other company has ever had five products listed Class A simultaneously.

DUAL TOROIDAL POWER TRANSFORMERS

Power transformers generate two types of noise, magnetic and acoustic. That's why toroidal power transformers are used in the very best audio products. Compared to standard transformers, toroids radiate about 1/10 the magnetic field thatpollutes music and obscures detail. Additionally, the absence of an air gap typically means toroids have an 8:1 reduction of acoustic noise. As transformers are the most expensive components in any audio product, manufacturers will even house cheaper C-core and EI-core transformers in an outboard power supply box with an umbilical cable rather than upgrade to an expensive toroid. The increased cost is significant, but PrimaLuna doesn’t cut corners. All PrimaLuna products use massive, potted toroidal transformers. PrimaLuna transformers are enclosed in a metal housing and then potted in a non-microphonic resin to further reduce noise and to protect the windings from moisture and deterioration forever. They are massive, resulting in a preamp weighing a substantial 39.6 pounds.
