Audio Note Meishu Konzertmeister Integrated Amplifier

The Meishu Phono Konzertmeister is a Pure Class A Singled Ended valve amplifierthat uses the highly regarded 300B directly heated triode valve, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the vast majority of current designs. The circuit is a beautiful example of elegant simplification, something that could only be realised thanks to our ability to create extremely closely matched transformers in-house, and having our own supply of custom resistors, in-house made foil capacitors and custom made electrolytic capacitors.

These allow us to have extremely tight control over the performance and voicing of the complete signal path, from input to output, something that is simply beyond the possibilities of manufacturers who have to rely on 'off the shelf' components.
 

The result is an amplifier that maintains the legendary musicality, midrange magic and glorious tonal colour of the Meishu Tonmeister, whilst bringing new and previously unheard levels of information retrieval and dynamic expression. 

The Meishu Konzertmeister includes the following components:

• In house designed and manufactured

• copper / silver wired Double C Core UHiB interstage and output transformers

• In house designed and manufactured, copper wired Double C Core SHiB mains transformer, Double C Core IHiB filament transformer, and Double C Core SHiB choke.

• Copper and silver internal signal wiring throughout

• Audio Note (UK) copper foil signal capacitors

• Audio Note (UK) STD and Kaisei Electrolytic Capacitors

• Audio Note (UK) 1W and 2W Non-Magnetic Tantalum, Non-Magnetic Niobium and Non-magnetic Silver Niobium Resistors

• Audio Note (UK) custom resistor based mono stepped attenuators using Non-Magnetic Tantalum resistors.

• Point-to-point silver hand-wired circuit, using Tufnol board material
