Rather than changing
a good design, we have built on its strengths through our component
investigation program (thanks in part to the strict new European RoHS
requirements). We're now building the Gram Amp 2 Special Edition with
made-to-order niche audio components from manufacturers known for their high
standards.
By making it fixed gain for Moving Magnet and High Output Moving Coil cartridges
it doesn't suffer the MM versus MC equalisation conflicts that very often leads
to compromise in a one-box-does-all design at this price level.
It shares the fast RIAA EQ network components we use in the
Era Gold V, plus
the low frequency stabilisation techniques we use throughout the phono
preamplifier range.

It holds on tight to the music's tempo and has a seamless and accurate frequency
range.
Dynamically (with a range of 90dB plus) it can effortlessly jump between the
extremes of loud and soft passages while maintaining a believable stereo image
and the full timbre of voices and instruments.
Like the lower cost Gram Amp 2 Communicator, the upgrade to a PSU1-24 from the
supplied plug-top power supply is noticeable as the stage then focuses in on
exciting new detail.
It will last through numerous system upgrades, delivering something new with
each improvement. |
