Ypsilon Amplifiers
HYPERION
Hyperion is a high power hybrid monoblock amplifier. It takes to the extreme the technologies we developed over the years in our amplifiers.
Hyperion combines high power output with no overall feedback and a simple and pure signal path of only two gain stages . It outputs more than 370 W@8 ohms and 1200@ 2 ohms.
The first gain stage uses a low impedance double triode coupled to the output stage with a wide bandwidth silver interstage transformer. The input is transformer coupled with a specially made silver interstage transformer that provides a perfectly balanced input.
Its unique ‘balanced-single-ended’ output stage biased in Class A for 100W@8ohms achieves an unmatched blend of effortless drive and dynamics with the refinement and transparency of a puresingle-ended design.
All internal wiring is with our own production silver wire with Teflon insulation.
Hyperion amplifiers offer a level of effortless drive and dynamics with transparency and refinement that will bring you closer to the musical performance.
Aelius II Monoblock
Aelius II is a push-pull hybrid monoblock power amplifier using only two gain stages with no overall feedback providing power to drive real world speakers with unmatched transparency and musical involvement.
The first gain stage is implemented with a valve, operated in single-ended class A , transformer coupled to the output stage. By using a transformer we avoid using an additional gain stage, so transparency and purity of the signal is preserved.
For this purpose a wide bandwidth (10-75 KHz) transformer is made, developed under extensive listening tests and measurements. The bandwidth of the transformer defines also that of the amplifier.
The output stage uses components of the same polarity (N-channel), working in the same topology. The output of the amplifier is symmetrical so both output connectors, plus, minus, carry signal in opposite phase.
Great attention was paid also in the power supply design. It uses high current inductors for smooth and quiet filtering.
set 100 ultimate
SET 100 ULTIMATE is a 120W single-ended class A hybrid amplifier.
It has the magic midrange of a small S.E.T amplifier with the scale, authority, macro and micro detail that no amplifier has ever achieved until now. It uses a specially designed s-e mosfet output stage direct coupled at the output using as the dc current path a double c-core amorphous choke.
SET 100 has power and drive with transparency, musical involvement and above all with music sounding naturally.
With only 2 gain stages in the signal path, the level of immediacy, transparency is unequaled by designs using more than 2 gain stages. Having no overall feedback, the distortion is kept comparably low while the output impedance is sufficient enough to drive real world loudspeakers.
The output stage and all internal wiring are hard wired with silver wire extruded to our specifications. SET 100 is an amplifier that produces music in its true natural scale, but above all it brings you as close as possible to the music event, to feel the music rather than hear it, to be touched and overwhelmed by the deeper feeling, with music emerging and not only sounding in a clear undistorted way.

PHAETHON
Phaethon integrated amplifier is a unique product in many aspects. It uses many of the technical solutions developed in our Aelius monoblock amplifier and PST100mk2 preamplifier in a compact and elegant design.
Phaethon is a hybrid line level amplifier utilizing only three active gain stages two of them with low noise valves operating in single-ended class A fashion, for the input and driver stage. It uses a transformer attenuator build in-house, embedded in the preamplifier section in a novel post attenuation technique.
The tube driver stage is coupled to the output stage with a wide bandwidth inter-stage transformer that provides perfect phase splitting for the output stage.
The output stage combined by same polarity semiconductors for both phases in a “balanced single-ended architecture” offers the flavor of pure single-ended designs with the power of push-pull designs.
All functions are remote controlled and are visible through a high quality LCD display with large characters so it can be read from across the room.
