Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple: we want to
produce amplifiers which stimulate the emotions
for those who enjoy music.
We believe that every piece of music played
through our amplifiers should arouse in the
listener the same emotions as the artist who
composed it and the musician who interpreted it.
We believe by using Master Sound amplifiers
that the listener will feel immersed in the music,
absorbed in the execution of the piece, enjoying,
in the most natural way, the details of the voices
and the instruments played
.

Cesare Sanavio
We have carefully designed and
hand built all of the transformers.
We, at Master Sound, believe that the
output transformer is the heart of any
tube amplifier.
So, we have used our extensive
experience in transformer technology to
help create Master Sound’s greatest
achievement to date, the PHL5

Inside
The new version V2 has a small modification in the circuit that improves its
silence and make it a little faster than the previous version. Does not is a substantial
change, but another small step forward.
A new pre amplifier needs to be put on at low volume in order to perform at its
best the musicality and high definition of sound.
After a “training” period, You will have to play Your apparatus for at least ten
minutes before the circuits can entirely stabilize and reach the ideal temperature for
playing.
We therefore recommend that You follow our simple instructions to get the best
results in listening.
