The Synthesis A50 Taurus Valve Integrated Amplifier delivers 50 watts of tube-driven power, offering a rich, warm sound signature typical of valve amplification. Its high-precision circuitry ensures superior audio fidelity, making it an excellent choice for audiophiles. The amplifier features 4 line-level inputs and gold-plated binding posts for optimal signal transfer and long-term durability. With a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz and less than 1% total harmonic distortion, the A50 Taurus ensures accurate and immersive sound reproduction. This amplifier pairs effortlessly with a wide range of speakers, enhancing your home audio experience with smooth, dynamic performance and tonal balance.

Features

  • USB & S/PDIF input
    For the first time we include an onboard 24Bit 192KHz Wolfson DAC for a extraordinary listening experience. 
  • DC Powered tube heater
    All tubes, except KT88/6550, have DC stabilised heater circuits to reduce hum noise to a near in-audible minimum. 
  • Output transformer
    The Output transformer uses a Hi-Grade Iron-Silicon for superb frequency reproduction & width. With this newly designed custom output transformer unique to the A50Taurus we are able to achieving a highly delicate & precise sound reproduction faithful to the original recording. 
  • Mechanical chassis construction
    The power supply & output transformers are held by an extremely rigid "H" structure that keeps the unit free from unwanted vibrations which further helps reduce unwanted noise to the tubes. 
  • Remote control
    Featuring a superb CNC machined case it has a soft button design, perfectly matching the aesthetics for the "ACTION" series. 
  • Feet
    Four CNC machined aluminium feet with an insert of natural rubber. The depth & form of these rubber feet has been calculated to minimise vibrations of the amplifier in isolation from its surroundings. 
  • Binding posts
    Gold plated professional binding posts for a continued oxidisation free connection further improve sound refinement.
  • Sockets
    Gold plated ceramic sockets for a continued oxidisation free connection further improve sound refinement. 
  • Components
    Components for the A50Taurus have been selected with great care throughout. Only the best available components are considered & all must undergo an exhaustive analysis of their sonic influence prior to final selection. 
  • Selected tubes
    All tubes used are selected after 2 stage warm up. A fully computer monitored machine controls the process & at the end of this, selects the perfect tubes which are then matched for a perfect balance.
