Audio Note P1 SE Power Amplifier
The Audio Note (UK) P1 Stereo Power Amplifier is a Pure Class A valve design, producing an outstanding level of performance and value. Available in Push-Pull and Single Ended designs.
The P1 SE has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical specification, and fulfils all Audio Note (UK) Level 2 criteria: -
Pure Class A Single Ended Pentode operation
Materials and component quality
It is a Pure Class A amplifier that uses a pair of the highly regarded EL84 valves per channel in Parallel Single Ended operation, which preserves the entire musical waveform as one whole, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the majority of current designs.
Part selection is optimised to realise the most neutral and realistic sonic reproduction.
Some of the superior quality components employed in the P1 SE include: -
Aluminium foil capacitors, used in the most critical areas.
Custom designed output transformers, manufactured by Audio Note (UK). These output transformers – one of the most critical areas of valve amplifier design – allow the P1 SE to produce impressively extended and controlled bass.
