New Horizon ALE Digitally controlled external power supply

madi — Thu, 24 May 2018 12:41:27 +0000

Digitally controlled external power supply, dedicated to the GD series turntables.

ALE uses a proprietary software which manages the mains energy and delivers the right voltage at the exact frequency to the turntable motor.

The internal DSP analyzes the input current parameters and reworks them providing a clean and constant voltage. Through a precision quartz, it generates a perfect sine wave at the requested frequency with no electric noise. In this way the platter rotates at a very stable speed with a lot of benefits at the listening.

In addition ALE allows the electronic selection of the speed of 33.3 - 45 - 78 rounds per minute.

Naim FlatCap XS

Madi — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:57:32 +0000

Descriere Produs:
Designed to complement our XS range, the FlatCap XS is a dual-rail, dual-output power supply that powers not just one, but two Naim Audio components if required. For example, an XS Series owner could add a FlatCap XS to enhance the performance of both a CD5 XS and a NAC 152 XS, and so enjoy all the improvements to clarity, dynamics and timing you’d expect from any Naim Audio power supply upgrade. It’s a logical, high-value and highly effective upgrade path – just as you’d expect from Naim Audio.
Features
Dual-rail power supply with four 24V power outputs
Four low-noise regulators
Black-anodised chassis with brushed front panel plus anti-vibration feet.
The FlatCap XS transformer has two separate secondary windings to isolate each of the dual supplies from the other. It includes four Naim Audio-tested and selected low-noise regulators to achieve its exceptional performance.

Cyrus PSX-R₂

Iza Iza — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 18:10:06 +0000

Cyrus PSX-R₂

SPECIFICATIONS

±35.5 VDC For stereo power and integrated amplifiers
±18-30 VDC For mono-bloc power and other amplifiers
±21 VDC For low power applications

DIMENSIONS (MM)

Height – 73
Width – 215
Depth – 360
Weight 7kg

Re-designing a Classic

The PSX-R₂ is based on a design that has been in the Cyrus family for over 30 years. The latest improvements bring power supply filtering from the Anniversary system, culminating in the new v2 edition.

Instant Upgradeability

The PSX-R₂ provides an instant sonic improvement to any compatible product. The benefits of a separate, isolated and highly regulated power supply allow internal electronics to upgrade their sonic performance.

Intelligent Connectivity

No modifications are required when connecting a PSX-R₂ to partnering equipment. Both units intelligently adjust output and input parameters to suit. Simply power off both units, connect and power on; internal circuitry detects the connection and re-adjusts perfectly.

300VA Toroidal

A 300va toroidal transformer was chosen for its ability to deliver an enormous current, forming the front end of the PSX-R₂. The 30,000 microfarad slit foil reservoir capacitors ensure that very low ESR and wide bandwidth are presented to the linear mode regulator stage that follows.

Descriere Produs:
It may be small, but the HiCap’s talent for maximising your system’s musicality should not be underestimated. A compact power supply partner for almost all of our preamplifiers plus our phono stages and active crossover components, its large toroidal transformer and generous, high-quality smoothing capacitors ensure excellent performance and value. NAC 282 preamplifier owners can enjoy even better performance by adding an additional, second HiCap to their system.

Features

Two 24V power outputs
All-new Discrete Regulator (DR) configuration, delivering Naim Audio’s best-ever standards of stable, low-noise power

Lumin X1 PSU

Iza Iza — Sat, 07 Nov 2020 17:31:04 +0000

Our flagship PSU is now available to a wider audience. Whether you partner it with S1, A1, T1 or U1, not only will you benefit from its sleeker finish and heavyweight solid-billet construction, owners are reporting improvements to every aspect of their favourite music.

The perfect upgrade for your LUMIN

Solid billet construction using all the same techniques as your main chassis
Thick aluminium walls provide even more shielding
Available in anodised black and raw silver
Supplied with a custom cable for S1 / A1 / T1 / U1 compatibility
Separate digital and analogue circuitry
Low-noise Linear Regulator
The highest quality components used throughout

"So the Lumin Amp was very honest and realistic. It became one of very few amplifiers which didn't create an impression of editorializing. Yet it didn't sound sterile or clinical as is very often the case with IcePower or Hypex designs."..."Lumin have chosen to exclude an analog preamplifier from their high-fidelity circle and that's perhaps one of the greatest achievements to get us closer to our recordings than ever before."..."This combo easily competes with the very best by CH Precision or Constellation Audio, simply at a fraction of their price. That clearly deserves an award."..."If you already own an X1 or S1, the Lumin Amp will be perfect especially in this price range."
"It's all very coherent, relaxed, broadband, confident and somehow just right. This perfect judged balance is not in the least bit associated with boredom. The Lumin Amp can groove, it plays fluently, melodically, tonally flawlessly and without peaks or hardnesses."... "I have rarely enjoyed working with a power amplifier as much as with the Lumin."... "A sensation for a first-time: Lumin shows that they can also be anticipated in the area of amplifiers in the future. Perfect look and workmanship."
"LUMIN made quite a bold move and succeeded."... "The level of LUMIN Amp immediacy, dynamic control and the absence of self imprint belongs to the league of its own."... "The LUMIN Amp has not only proven to be a great match with the LUMIN's own audiophile network players. During my extended listenings, it has manifested a very broad synergy with several preamplifiers. The cherry on the top of the cake was LUMIN Amp's ability to be directly driven by the DACs. This puts the LUMIN Amp among very few amps in which input impedance allows such a purist partnering."

Cyrus Classic AMP

Iza Iza — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 21:43:01 +0000

The Classic AMP is the latest update to an integrated amplifier that has been part of the Cyrus product range for over a decade.

This integrated amplifier provides a significant step up in performance from previous versions by using everything that we learnt when developing the fantastic XR Series, but retaining the familiar design of the Classic series. The circuit design has been completely re-designed and the majority of the internal components have been upgraded by the Cyrus R&D team, which has resulted in sound improvements that will help the Classic series retain a loyal fan base for years to come.
