Integrated Amplifier
Product Information
Classic Integrated
From Italy
From the new 'Classic' line of components - M2Tech presents its latest release - the first component in production - an Integrated Amplifier.
The name reflects designs from the past - those that captured the minds of enthusiasts in the 80's & 90's - a period where great strides were made in the Amplification sector.
Designed of course to be the heart of any High-Quality Audio System and offering a range of features and functionalities, it promises to elevate your listening experience.
Up to four Audio Sources are catered for, from DACs, CD players, Tuners and Recorders or anything else with a Line output. One of the Inputs is equipped with a Balanced connection, providing a more refined sonic experience. Additionally, it includes a dedicated Input for Turntables (MC & MM), with the flexibility to transform this Input, into another Audio Input with just a simple adjustment.
Discrete components are a no compromise feature, to drive both your Speakers and Headphones. Furthermore, it includes a Pre-amplified output, for connection to an Active Subwoofer or adding an additional Power Amplifier, for a passive Bi-Amplification setup. Equipped of course with Remote control for convenience. The highlight (perhaps), is its ability to integrate with Smartphones, thanks to the app provided. This allows users to easily control all Amplifier functions - directly from your mobile device.

Andrew Baker puts the Classic to work at Witchdoctor NZ :
For Vinyl enthusiasts v. $3K separates.
"The Classic Phono Stage doesn’t quite match the EQ ($3K with Power) in overall performance, at least not with the EMT – not that the differences are huge".
The bulk of the signal design is based upon discrete components rather than Op-Amps, with the volume control being implemented using a servo controlled Alps RK27 Potentiometer and the input selection using relays. Ample power is available from the Analog power supply, which employs a custom design Toroidal Transformer. This ensures low noise, interference from magnetic fields and enables fast dynamic musical peaks - to be handled effortlessly.
