Jim White’s Aesthetix tube preamplifiers have been recognized for their excellence around the world. Both Jupiter
and Saturn series line and phono stages were designated Class A in Stereophile’s Recommended Components and
earned both Editor’s Choice and Golden Ears awards in the Absolute Sound magazines.
Aesthetix introduces the Atlas power amplifier, available in both stereo and mono versions. Jim’s innovative hybrid
design incorporates a bipolar output stage, bipolar driver stage, and vacuum tube input gain stage. Excellent fit
and finish, exceptional quality/price ratio and honest fidelity combine in this outstanding amplifier.
The Atlas provides your choice of full range or high-pass inputs. This unique built-in filter is ideal for speakers
featuring powered woofers, such as Vandersteen, or for audio and home cinema systems using outboard powered
sub-woofers.
• Zero global feedback, fully differential amplier and complementary balanced bridge design for open sound.
• Tube gain stage using one 6SN7 tube per channel provides harmonic accuracy and soundstage layering.
• Stereo amplier: 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms; 400 watts per channel into 4 ohms
• Mono amplier: 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms; 600 watts per channel into 4 ohms
• Amplier has a built-in high-pass crossover: 6 dB / octave, 16 settings from 40 Hz to 200 Hz in approximate 10
Hz increments.
• Single-ended and balanced inputs provide extended compatibility.
• Direct input bypasses all crossovers and switching for ultimate purity.
• Bus technology reduces power supply impedance between output devices for more instantaneous current.
• Power supply uses two transformers and three chokes. The high current section uses a dedicated transformer
and choke input power supply. The vacuum tube B+ power supply has choke input and is discretely regulated.
The result is unequalled clarity and control.
• All aluminum chassis construction assures durability.
• Stainless steel cover for transformers prevents magnetic elds from interacting with sensitive audio circuitry,
preserving low level musical nuances.
• RS232 control and 12V trigger for special installation requirements.
