Aries Cerat - Protos - TriodeFet Integrated Amplifier
Based on the bigger brother Aperio. The Protos achieves sonic purity due to its single stage design. This purity combined with the best attributes of a triode makes this a very special amplifier.
Like the bigger Essentia model, incredibly, there is no driver stage and no input stage! However this is not just an amplifier but a complete integrated amplifier. That means that from the input to the speaker outputs, there is only one stage of amplification.
This extremely simple topology is a breakthrough in amplifier design, and is an elusive design goal for many.
This feat was only possible to execute after the breakthrough of TriodeFet technology. Extremely high linearity, high voltage gain, high current gain and very high input impedance.
The Aperio and Protos integrated amplifiers use a common circuit core but with many differences in PSU design and output stage.
The volume control is implemented by R2R relay-switched resistor array. This can be bypassed on the fly to allow for a seperate preamplifier to be implemented if desired.
