Toroidal Transformer
A large toroidal transformer has been used in the A-S3200 in the
pursuit of pure musicality. With less flux leakage there is no negative
impact on other sensitive
audio circuits, while the
copper wire is directly
drawn from the winded
core, minimizing energy
loss and allowing the full
emotional energy in the
music to be felt.
Low Impedance Design Concept
Adopting a low impedance design concept minimizes both energy loss
while maintaining absolute integrity in the audio signal. Preservation
of the original audio
results in an open, natural
sound stage. Following an
intensive forging process,
the PC-Triple C wire has
an inherently more linear
structure for smoother
signal transmission.
High Quality Component Selection
High-quality capacitors were selected for the A-S3200, delivering an
authentically musical performance. Following an intensive forging
process, the PC-Triple
C speaker wire has an
inherently more linear
structure, allowing
for smoother signal
transmission to more
accurately present the
original musical recording.
Brass Screws for Block Capacitor
Adopting Gilding Oxygen Free Copper terminals and brass screws for
the large block capacitors contributes to a superior connection between
components. This results in
additional headroom being
available in the four large
(22,000F) capacitors, which
contributes to an expansive
and open sound stage.
Mechanical Ground Concept
An expression of deep, rhythmic bass evokes the story of the music.
The Mechanical Ground Concept achieves this expressive bass
performance by maximizing
rigidity and reducing any
unwanted vibration. The
large power transformer,
block capacitors and heat
sink are directly bolted
to the chassis delivering
greater rigidity.
Fully Balanced Circuitry
The fully balanced circuitry used in the A-S3200 yields an
impressively low signal-tonoise ratio and improved
channel separation to
produce a sound stage
that almost makes the
entire system disappear
transporting the listener to
the time and place of the
recording.
