This is an entry amplifier produced by Bakun Products in Kumamoto for the purpose of supporting the reconstruction of last year's Kumamoto earthquake.
Limited to 100 units, the amount is for donations, so it is offered at ¥ 130,000, which is the cheapest among the company's products.
We will handle it at our shop, but since there is almost no profit setting in the amount for the purpose of donation, we will only pay by bank transfer, although it is very arbitrary.
In addition, please note that if the final number of reservations is less than 100 units and production begins, additional charges will be incurred.
If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
The following is an excerpt from Bakun Products.
In order to reduce the price, we did not dare to use the expensive SATRI-IC, but covered the latest circuits of the SATRI circuit, and designed a new bias circuit that is not affected by fluctuations in the power supply voltage to stabilize the bias current to the utmost limit, and we have devised a review of the output stage that separates the signal current and the bias current.
The specifications are as follows.
○ Input 1 of AMP-KUMAMOTO is the RCA connector on the back, and input 2 is the mini jack on the front. By connecting the minijack to a smartphone, you can use this unit as a music player for smartphones and other devices.
○ Speakers are available from 4 Ω to 8 Ω. At 4 ohms, you can get up to 20 W of power output. It can also be used as a headphone amplifier and has a minijack. The maximum output is 18W + 18W (8Ω), which is a little small, but I think it is enough for listening to music on a daily basis.
○ The weight is about 5 kg. It is portable. The case is made of aluminum and is designed by the painter Tomoko Katayama (Audio Dojo Master) with the motif of Higo inlay.
Due to the number of lots, if the final number of reservations falls below 100 units and production begins, it is inevitable that the product price will be revised.
In addition, when AMP-KUMAMOTO is discontinued, the production version of the SCA-7500 will be announced. (According to the current plan, the SCA-7500 JAPAN is expected to be about 1.3 times the price of AMP-KUMAMOTO, and the SCA-7500 KOREA is also expected to be about 1.6 times the price.) The basic circuit is the same, but the accuracy and components used are slightly different, so detailed materials will be announced at a later date.
[Kazuma Nishino's first impression of AMP-KUMAMOTO]
Mr. Nagai.
Well, I listened to the new amp right away. Hmm ~ It sounds better than ever.
It's a sound that sets it apart from previous SATRI. It's okay. In fact.
Last night, I connected to Old Stirling on the second floor and listened to a lot of things, and I'm sure there are other amps that have such a lot of focus and are beautiful, and there are other amps that put a lot of effort into energy and power, but the beauty of the sound is wonderful. When I listen to it, I don't feel tired at all, and I feel relaxed both mentally and physically.
With JBL's horn, it is a way to be that suits the characteristics of JBL, and in Sterling, it is enough to bring out the characteristics of this SP.
The new amp is now playing in the office. I'd like to bring the device to my parents' house in the afternoon and ring it again tomorrow. After all, you can hold it with one hand, and it's this sound, so it's magic (laughs).
Anyway, this small new amp sounds like a jewel, as if Old Stirling is playing it with a well-made 300B amp, and if you use two of these amps and play it in a mono configuration, it will be irresistible (laughs). I'd like to use this amp to play a good SP from Tannoy.
