Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers?

Symphonic Line Kraft amps are pure class A and maybe the fastest sounding solid state amps out there. It all depends on the implementation.

Dealer Disclosure

Guido,

The SINE "Kosmos" conductor is an alloy of metals including silver. It goes through an 8-step process that alternates annealing and deep cryo (4 each) to achieve a conductivity higher than silver (and of course copper and gold).

Extraordinary sound.

We are receiving some other models ("Coliseum II" and "Cassio") that use some of the technology in the Kosmos series including carbon powder to absorb micro vibrations and in-line RFI/EMI. Also will receive a batch of the wall outlets w/platinum plating using a ultra high grade outlet. All is deep cryoed.

I expect SINE will become a reference in power and cable products...I'm that imprressed!

Thank you Jim, unfortunately 'greater than Silver' does not mean anything to me. I am glad the product also uses graphite powder to its advantage. Graphite is naturally abundant,
inexpensive, and easy to work with. Any more hard info you can share about Sigma Delta Amps?

Guido,

The SINE "Kosmos" custom alloy conductor's higher conductivity should relate to faster, easier flow of current or signal. Sonically, it has the vivid, liquid transparency of the Delta Sigma amps & preamps & BOW ZZ-8 CD player we are re-introducing to US market.

Re: the Delta Sigma electronics, obviously much is proprietary. The 3Mhz circuit (flat within 1db) is amazingly fast thanks to the ultra wide bandwidth. But that liquid transparency I mentioned above is so like a great OTL amp...but with strong, vice-like grip on bass dynamics and an upper end that is so airy and delicate. I've simply never heard anything as pure and powerful as the Delta Sigma...including $350k monoblocks.

During CES2008 where we introduced Delta Sigma NP Integrated and Manger's 109-AG ultimate monitor, we received numerous compliments on how lifelike piano sounded. Some people in the hallway entered thinking we had a real piano playing.

After the "North Pole" reference linestage arrives later this month, I'll post some additional comments. After hearing it in Italy, I can't wait!

Jim, once again, will Delta Sigma be shown at RMAF? I doubt that simple information such as SS/tube/switching technology, class of operation, input impedance, damping factor, etc . . . can be deemed proprietary. . . particularly in devices having the exalted price points of the SDs. Now talking about the Kosmos conductor. . . asserting that it is more conductive and less resistive than Silver is what I deem an 'extraordinary claim'. . . nothing wrong with that, but such a claim does require some clear form of evidence. . . or regretably it suffers in credibility.
