Model ISx Reference INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

Model ISx Reference Red edition (optional)

ONE STEP AHEAD The Model ISx Reference is a direct evolution of the Model ISx, and thanks to its additional features, it "gives more than an idea" of what our legendary Model IT, is capable of. Its exacting circuits and power supply receive special upgrades in order to further allow the fantastic potential of our low memory technology to come to fruition. The power output remains the same as for the Model ISx, but micro-dynamics and resolution are increased to allow greater expression of the feeling and intention of the music. Thus also the sound stage is wider, detail is sharper and the presentation is more mature, even if the sound balance remains respectfully neutral as with the Model ISx. Its extreme transparency, over the full bandwidth is in contrast with midband focused transparency of the best tube amplifiers.Its micro dynamics, never aggressive, clumsy or confused is in contrast with almost all transistor and digital amplifiers. Never has an amplifier done so much at such an affordable price, for music and for the pleasure of the listener.

JULLY 2018 High Fidelity POLAND test of MODEL ISx REFERENCE driving the Harbeth 40.1 : the perfect math This device has a "soul", playing with emotional involvement, we can even say "spiritual".It has beautiful colors and is incredibly fast. It has a warm sound and very full bass. It's the rhythm that's fantastic, the pulse, the sequence of events at precisely defined time intervals. The amplifier is extremely "singing" - it's something that strikes you right from the start of the listening session. By "singing" I mean the supremacy of the melody of the rhythm of the color on the control of the whole. But "singing" is also a perfect combination with something more, which allows music to circulate without restrictions or inhibitions, allowing us to build a broad, dense and powerful message in front of us.
