Dear Audiophile,

To celebrate the first century from the invention of the tube, Audio Analogue presents Primo Cento VT: an equipment that establish the new reference in the category of stereo products characterized by an amazing quality and versatility.

In fact it combines no-compromise circuit solutions with functional characteristics good to satisfy also the most particular end-user.

An integrated amplifier with an output power of 100W per channel, with line inputs and phono stage. It is realised with an high performance circuit: wide bandwidth, low feedback, mostly dual-mono construction, analogue power supply with high power toroidal transformer and six separate stabilization sections, one of them made of discrete components, high quality passive components, integrated resistors network volume control with no buffer for the best sound transparency. The tube preamp section is immediately after the input selection circuit: it allows making the most of the tube and highlighting its sound quality(in fact the tube is the first amplification stage found by the signal during its course)

All of these solutions and characteristics make the Primo Cento VT a unique equipment and a valuable and durable investment.

Caro Audioflo,

Per celebrare il centenario della invenzione della valvola Audio Analogue propone il Primo Cento VT: un apparecchio che stabilisce il nuovo riferimento nella categoria di prodotti stereo caratterizzati da una eccezionale qualità e versatilità. Associa infatti soluzioni circuitali senza compromessi con caratteristiche funzionali tali da soddisfare anche l’utente più esigente. Un amplificatore integrato da 100Watt per canale con ingressi linea e ingresso phono opzionale. E’ realizzato con circuitazioni ad elevate prestazioni con ampia banda passante e bassa controreazione, presenta sezioni circuitali divise per canale, alimentazione analogica lineare realizzata con un trasformatore toroidale e sei sezioni distinte di stabilizzazione una delle quali a componenti discreti, componenti passivi di elevatissima qualità, controlli di volume a rete di resistenze integrate senza buffer per la massima trasparenza del suono. Il circuito di preamplificazione dell’apparecchio è valvolare e si trova subito a valle del circuito per la selezione dell’ingresso, in questo modo si riescono a sfruttare al massimo le qualità della valvola e a evidenziarne le caratteristiche sonore (infatti la valvola è lo stadio di amplificazione che il segnale incontra per primo lungo il suo percorso).

Le soluzioni adottate rendono il Primo Cento VT un apparecchio unico e un investimento di pregio durevole nel tempo.
