What about inside? The transformer depends on the specifications, but the main ones are made by Hashimoto Electric, and the higher-end models use Astro Electronics custom specifications.
And carefully selected internal parts, such as self-bias capacitors, are generally 200-300 microns,ASTORuses an 8000 micro capacitor, which is an order of magnitude larger.
This ensures that the sound is clearly expressed even at low volumes without becoming thin. We carefully wire these parts one by one using single oxygen-free copper wire.
Beautiful circuits wired in a two-tiered structure with heat dissipation, vibration suppression, and noise countermeasures.ASTORThe wiring is undisturbed and is simply beautiful.
It's a structure that gives you a sense of the craftsman's reach.
A foot base carved from oxygen-free copper or aluminum alloy block is used to support this chassis. Further vibration damping is achieved by inserting young cow leather between the foot base and the chassis.
ActuallyASTORThe amplifier is equipped with a circuit breaker that can be detected from the outside, and a blue (or green) LED under the amplifier body lights up if there is an abnormality.
With this, when a problem occurs, you can easily determine whether the cause is the amplifier or an external factor, so it is a surprisingly useful function in an emergency.
Rounding out the amplifiers is a 10mm thick anodized aluminum front panel and knobs made from an aluminum alloy block.
The smooth texture is very comfortable and easy to handle.
This time, we mainly introduced high-grade models with stainless steel bodies, but cheaper aluminum alloy chassis amplifiers are basically the same in construction.
Made of an aluminum alloy commonly known as 52S, it is rust-proof, high-strength, and especially strong and fatigue-resistant.
How was it? even a littleASTORI hope that you understand our products. Of course, the most important thing is the sound!
In one word, it would be "highly transparent." It's a straight, pleasant sound without any coloring.
If you just look at the price, it's a little expensive, but considering the content and production process, I don't think it's expensive at all.
