Description

Synthesis Roma 510 AC Valve Amplifier

There has never been an entry-level integrated amplifier with the build quality, finish, and sound of the ROMA 510AC. At first glance, this stunning amplifier simply takes your breath away. This high-performance amplifier brings out the very best in the other components of the system. Created by those obsessed with great sound and for those who love great music. The result is 80 watts per channel of pure pentode power, built around a 12AX7 dual triode at the input stage and a 12BH7 tube as the phase splitter, along with a pair of KT88/6550 power tubes in push-pull configuration, delivering a detailed, delicate, and dynamic sound.

FEATURES

• DC-powered tube heaters

All tubes, except the KT88, feature DC-stabilized heater circuits to reduce hum noise to an almost inaudible minimum.

• Output transformer

The output transformer uses high-grade iron-silicon material for superb frequency reproduction and bandwidth. With this newly designed custom output transformer, we are able to achieve highly delicate and precise sound reproduction, faithful to the original recording.

• Mechanical chassis construction

The power supply and output transformers are supported by an extremely rigid structure that keeps the unit free from unwanted vibrations, further helping to reduce noise affecting the tubes.

• Remote control

It features a soft-touch button design, perfectly matching the aesthetics of the “ROMA” series. It controls volume, mute, and source selection.

• Feet

Four aluminum feet with high-strength rubber inserts. The rubber has been chosen to minimize amplifier vibrations by isolating it from its surroundings.

• Binding posts

Gold-plated professional binding posts ensure a continuous oxidation-free connection and further enhance sound refinement.

• Sockets

Gold-plated ceramic sockets provide a continuous oxidation-free connection, contributing to greater sonic refinement.

• Components

Components for the Roma 510AC have been selected with great care throughout. Only the best available components are considered, and each must undergo an exhaustive analysis of its sonic influence prior to final selection.

• Selected tubes

All tubes are selected after a two-stage warm-up process. A fully computer-monitored system controls the procedure and, at the end, selects the perfect tubes, which are then matched to ensure ideal balance.

Lector Audio ZAX-70 - 2 × 70 Watt Solid-State Integrated Amplifier

The ZAX design project marks a new era for amplifiers, introducing new concepts aimed at creating an amplifier capable of driving any load under any input-signal condition. The ZAX design is based on a high-voltage (120 V DC), high-current (±20 A) circuit. To achieve this ambitious goal, our engineers required custom-made components:

• Special high-current, high-voltage transistors capable of handling low-amplitude signals.
• Special output devices featuring transistors capable of handling high currents and equipped with integrated temperature compensation.
• A special high-energy, low-flux-loss AC mains power transformer.

The result is the ZAX design! The ZAX delivers extraordinary sound quality: the FET stage provides a smooth and fluid soundstage, while the high-energy power transistors ensure excellent performance, with detailed high frequencies and authoritative, well-defined bass.

The electronic circuit is based exclusively on discrete components, transistors and FETs (input device), with no integrated circuits used in the signal path! (ICs cannot deliver high current!)

The amplifier features 5 high-level line inputs, an output for the loudspeaker system, and a tape-recording output.

The ZAX-70 replaces the ZAX-60 model. The new integrated amplifier offers increased power of 70 W per channel into 8 ohms and a chassis design that harmonizes with the other models in the range (CDP-603 CD player and Digitube). The ZAX-70 represents the evolution of the ZAX-60 for the “R” series of transistor electronics, characterized by a chassis with rounded sides. The shape is not merely an aesthetic evolution, but also ensures greater chassis rigidity, improved mechanical behavior of the cabinet, and better vibration control.

The ZAX-70 is designed with an exclusively transistor-based circuit, without the use of integrated circuits in the signal path. The bipolar transistors have been selected for their high current capability, reaching a peak current of 12 A! There is only one capacitor in the signal path; it is not electrolytic, but a high-quality film capacitor. There are no limitations on the current capability of the output stage, which can therefore drive loudspeakers with low load impedances.

The volume control is operated by an ALPS Blue Velvet series potentiometer; the control position is indicated by a blue LED, specially designed for its anti-static properties. A volume-controlled passive output allows connection of an active subwoofer or a headphone amplifier.

As with the chassis design, particular attention has been paid to eliminating and controlling every vibration generated by the power transformer.

An aluminum remote control is supplied for operating the amplifier's volume.
