The new A1 is designed to give superlative sound. All aspects of its circuitry and layout have been designed to this end. Conceptually the circuit elements are similar to our revered kW Series. The only difference is that the A1 has less power (more about his later) and is a compact package.

Within its power range the sound quality of the A1 is equal to anything from anywhere. All it lacks is dynamic headroom. Our idea is that you start with an A1 paired with a relatively modest pair of loudspeakers and get exquisite sound. When you’re ready to upgrade you do not have to throw away the A1, all you need is more headroom. This is easily done by putting either a 550K Supercharger or 750K Supercharge in the system. Then you have created an extraordinary amplification system with none of the usual massive financial losses which are the norm for hi-fi upgrading.

We have a two step plan.

Step one: get an A1 and have beautiful exquisite sound.

Step two: add a supercharger. Now you have a system which makes the most exquisite sound and has no limits in dynamic range.

Our only observation is that the hi-fi dealer won’t like this as you won’t be taking part in the financially ruinous “upgrade waltz”. Sounds good to us and, hopefully, good for you.

The A1 has a wide range of inputs, phono, USB, four line inputs (one with home theatre bypass) and a fully configured tape loop.

Class A bias	Sweet, accurate and fluid sound quality
High quality, quiet phono input	Great phono performance
USB input	You can connect your computer or any other USB audio to the A1
