Burn-In Time |
A period of approximately
1 week
is required for the circuit to "break-in", after which
it is advisable to leave the product on. After
disconnection from the power they will require a further
few days break-in period to return to full performance.
BURN-IN TIME is the period the circuit requires to be
left powered-on from new for the entire circuit to
stabilize. Until then performance will not be as
advertised. |

The power supply circuits do not
employ switch-mode or DC-DC conversion. The RF produced by such devices gets
into the signal path and modulates the signal, producing a set of pseudo
frequencies that sing along with the music. This may make a stage sound rich,
luscious and zingy, but it's not music. |

|
Design & Technology |
The complete lack of flywheel effect or hysterisis of
transformers and correct cartridge matching, combine
with the fast low noise video bandwidth of the EXP to
provide an award winning performance.
Transformless, wide-bandwidth |
|
Burn-In Time |
A period of approximately 3-4 weeks
is required for the circuit to "break-in", after which
it is advisable to leave the product on. After
disconnection from the power they will require a further
few days break-in period to return to full performance.
BURN-IN TIME is the period the circuit requires to be
left powered-on from new for the entire circuit to
stabilize. Until then performance will not be as
advertised. |

| Power Supply |
PSU1-24 power supply
The power supply circuits do not
employ switch-mode or DC-DC conversion. The RF produced by such devices gets
into the signal path and modulates the signal, producing a set of pseudo
frequencies that sing along with the music. This may make a stage sound rich,
luscious and zingy, but it's not music. DC coupling is used
throughout each Elevator step-up transformer-less head amplifier. The zero
volt rail is internally generated providing an absolutely clean ground. This
allows the use of a single sided supply, and a simple 24 volt battery supply
can therefore be substituted by the user for extremely critical listening. |
|
Components |
Components used in the
Elevator are to the highest professional standards, including FR4 epoxy
resin single and double sided plated through hole printed circuit boards,
C&K gold plated contact switches, Analogue Devices semiconductors, tantalum
capacitors, Elna audio grade capacitors, Wima low inductance high speed
polypropylene and silver/mica capacitors. Connections are by heavy gold
plated, Teflon insulated deluxe phono jacks, and an additional arm earth is
provided for convenience. |
