Melius

In order to provide delicate details and high dynamic for wide variety of music, this unit is designed with great deliberation using famous Pentode EL34 in a new designed push-pull circuitry. Values of each part and current are set precisely so that tube power amplifier could drive modern speakers well.

Push-pull circuit further refined from Overture

The first stage and driver stage are direct coupled, and a new generation pure silver foil capacitors with vibration suppression are used for coupling with the output stage. Moreover, the low impedance design of the whole circuit is aimed the direct sound performance. The output stage continue to employ CCB (constant current bias circuit). The music signal is prevented from flowing into the bias adjustment VR, enabling pure signal transmission.

Integrated Amplifier

Ongaku

1989, the year of the bright history of Audio Note.

Audio Note's ONGAKU was born this year, instantly attracted attentions from audiophile around the world.

Audio Note's vacuum tube amplifiers started shipping overseas. Reviewers from leading audio magazines, e.g. "Hi-Fi Choice", "Audiophile" from UK and "The Absolute Sound" from US, reported their surprises and appreciations about the good sound qualities which they had never heard of. Among them, ONGAKU which employed big size power tubes 211 in the amplification stage; stole the hearts of audio fans with her overwhelming expression of rich musical details.

ONGAKU's magic and its good comments are still spinning around the world without slowing down.

Audio Note's high reputation and good comments are building up on this solid platform.

Cartridge

IO XP

This is our 6th MC phono cartridge. It was born from the knowledge and techniques accumulated over the years since the first "IO" in 1979.

We continue to use alnico magnet for IO-XP. The low magnetic resistance provide a lot of advantages in terms of sound quality. Taking considerations of the assembly style and the magnetizing method, maximum magnetic capacity is obtained.

More accurate tracing is also achieved through setting the damping properly. In addition, by devising the body shape and internal structure to control the main body resonance, a natural and grand sound field is reproduced.
