Australian HiFi — May-June 2017

(Martin Jones) #1

In Greek mythology Phaethon


means the ‘Shining One’ – and this


audio gem lives up to its name.


Incorporating much of the


technology of the Ypsilon


Aelius monoblock amplifier


and PST100mk2 preamplifier,


the Phaethon integrated


amplifier is a true audiophile


design. The input and driver
stages use low-noise valves in
single-ended class A fashion,
coupled to an output stage using
semiconductors for both phases
in a balanced single-ended
architecture – the flavour of a
pure single-ended amplifier with
the power of push-pull designs.

Separate power supplies for the
tube and output stages utilise
five power supply inductors for
low-noise filtering.
All the Phaethon’s elements
operate in unison to deliver
unmatched sound quality within
the platform of this superb
integrated amplifier.

THE SHINING ONE
