Integrated
AMPLIFIERS
Unlike the majority of integrated amplifiers, which are
technically compromised in order to meet their price
target, an Audio Note integrated amplifier is a full
pre-power amplifier combination, complete with independent
power supplies, in a single box. Therefore, rather than
being a compromise, it is an advantage. Single box
construction provides a shorter signal path and more ideal
interstage matching giving obvious sonic benefits. The
Meishu takes this principle several steps further and
provides separate valve rectified choke smoothed power
supplies for each amplification stage.

It
is important to understand that sonically it is desirable
to have as much gain available in the circuit as possible,
as the wider the dynamic gain window is the better the
amplifier/system handles wide dynamic signal levels
(contrary to popular belief, dynamics have NOTHING to do
with power, it is a function of how much each stage in a
circuit’s gain window limits the dynamic peaks), having
very high gain and therefore sensitivity in a power
amplifier creates problems with background noise levels.
All
Audio Note™ power amplifiers have heavily silver plated RCA
input and speaker terminals with 4 & 8Ohm output
impedance.
Despite
the low power output of all out power amplifiers, their
ability to drive speakers with even quite low efficiency,
there is naturally a limit to how loud it is possible to
play, however, even 86dB efficient loudspeakers can be used
in smaller rooms.
