Extremely rare sut made in England for highend step up MC cartridge. Wonderful sound. From my highend collection. The AN-S2 is a passive device, designed to convert the mainly current output of your Moving Coil cartridge (MC) to a higher voltage, low current signal of sufficient strength to allow a Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage to amplify it to a suitable level. The internal transformers used in the AN-S2 are manufactured by Audio Note (UK) exclusively, use the very best core materials and winding technology available at the price, and are housed in mumetal screening canisters to minimise noise and interference. The AN-S2 can be supplied in two versions; the AN-S2/L (low impedance) and the AN-S2/H (high impedance). The ‘L’ version has a switchable input impedance of 3 Ohms and 12 Ohms; the ‘H’ version, 15 Ohms and 60 Ohms. The 3 Ohm input of the ‘L’ version has been primarily designed to partner the Audio Note IO Moving Coil cartridges, and the 12 Ohm input is intended to be used with cartridges with an internal impedance of around 3 to 4 Ohms. The 15 Ohm input of the ‘H’ version is designed to partner cartridges with an internal impedance of around 4 to 5 Ohms; the 60 Ohm input is designed for cartridges with internal impedance in the region of 15 to 20 Ohms. It is possible to use our transformers with cartridges that have greater internal impedances, or values that are outside the preferred ranges of the switchable inputs, however, it is important to realise that an input impedance in the region of three to four times the internal impedance of your cartridge will usually provide the best results.

XS Design The unique design of our flagship speaker is based on ultra-rigid, curved and modular panels. These panel are exclusively hand crafted in Italy by the most skilled wood-maker. The high-dampened cabinet is reinforced with a double internal structure and with external wooden multilayer panels to control resonances and improve the audio performance. The cabinets conveniently separate the basses and the mid/highs for a perfect tuning and are coupled with a 3mm aluminium board to increase even further the rigidity of the entire structure. The woofers are installed in a vented cabinet while the mid/highs are housed in sealed chambers in the upper cabinet.The upper cabinet also features a second open chamber with a massive grille made of solid aluminium to maximise rigidity and reduce internal reflections at the same time. The loudspeaker features an integrated heavy-duty stand made of steel with our innovative hidden adjustable spikes. Tweeter, Midranges & Woofers For this loudspeaker we developed a 28 mm ultra-linear tweeter with and extra-thin and soft silk dome powered by a neodymium magnet featuring an aluminium dampening elliptical rear chamber. The upper cabinet houses two 150mm ultra-linear drivers that feature high mass phase plugs and Nextel treated paper cones to reach high rigidity and fast natural audio response. Adaptive rubber surround provides an ideal match to the cone over the total frequency range. The extra large magnet system with long and lightweight CCAW voice coil allows perfect coil excursion and low distortion due to excellent transient response. Solid copper rings are mounted above and below the T-shaped pole piece to reduce non-linear and modulation distortions and to increase the overload margin. The driver is completed by an extremely stiff and stable skeleton in aluminium/magnesium to avoid airflow noises and to increase rigidity and lightness. Two 220mm ultra-linear slightly horn loaded, light drivers with 18gm mass with Nextel treated paper producing a fast natural audio response in low frequencies Bass drivers feature large magnet design with bumped back-plate: the large and dampened platform at the back improves stiffness while the extra-long and light weight CCAW voice coil, allows extreme coil excursion, low distortion and excellent transient response Giant copper rings mounted above and below the T-shaped pole piece reduce distortion for better overload margin High mass phase plug reduces compression due to temperature variations in the voice coil Long-term power handling is increased to eliminate resonances from cavity inside the voice coil former. Crossover The passive Crossover Low-High Dual-Slop with cuts at 200Hz & 2200Hz is a resistive design that enables ultra-linear load to handle any sort of amplification without stressing the power supply, even at a nominal impedance of 4?. The sophisticated triple crossover network, with summing midrange multi-slope design, integrates perfectly the drivers of the array and with anti-resonance thick glass-fibre boards rewards the listener with a close field natural audio experience. Air winding, hand-made coils and selected audio grade capacitors and exclusive graphite custom GN resistors complete one of the best crossover available today. - McIntosh MA352 The MA352 Integrated Amplifier is a hybrid design that combines the finest of vacuum tube and solid state audio design principles. The result is an eye-catching amplifier that enjoys the best of these two opposing audio philosophies all while reproducing music at the highest quality level. All Analog Design The MA352 has a vacuum tube preamplifier section that is powered by a pair of 12AX7A and a pair of 12AT7 vacuum tubes; its output stage is a direct coupled solid state amplifier that outputs 200 Watts per channel into 8 Ohm speakers or 320 Watts per channel into 4 Ohm speakers – enough power to properly drive virtually any set of loudspeakers. Dual scale blue Watt meters give an accurate readout of power output for both speaker impedances.McIntosh MA352 Integrated Amplifier The MA352 has 2 balanced and 3 unbalanced inputs plus 1 Moving Magnet phono input with adjustable loading for connecting a turntable. It has gold-plated speaker binding posts to help prevent corrosion and ensure a quality signal is sent over your speaker cables to your speakers. A stereo preamplifier output is available for connecting a higher-powered amplifier; it can also be used to connect 1 or 2 powered subwoofers for added low frequency performance. Packed with McIntosh technology Patented Power Guard® technology that monitors the output signal for over driving and makes real time micro adjustments to the input signal to prevent harsh sounding clipping that could potentially damage your speakersFuse-less short-circuit protection circuit Sentry Monitor™ that will disengage the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normalMcIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ which are connected to advanced high current output transistors that minimize thermal equilibrium lag (or warm-up) timeHigh Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®)A 5-band analog tone control allows for manual adjustment of your favorite recordings (each band adjustable by ± 12dB)Home Theater Pass Through lets it be seamlessly integrated into a home theater systemPower Control to send power on/off signals to connected McIntosh components for easy system power up and shutdownData Ports to send remote control commands to connected source components Classic McIntosh Design The unit sits on a stainless steel chassis polished to a mirror finish; vintage McIntosh-styled die cast aluminum name badges are affixed to each side. Blue output meters, control knobs, an illuminated logo, and a black glass front panel with direct LED backlighting complete the unit. It can be paired with an assortment of CD players, turntables, tuners, media streamers and speakers to complete your home audio system.
