A new Overture with substantial improvements
Blending the high power output of Pentode EL34, with Triode's iconic richness in musicality.
Fully unleashed the wildness and dynamic of music while having all micro details expressed with textures.
Audio Note's philosophy of an ideal integrated amplifier. A simple audio system of excellent balance. Capable of giving the best from details, dynamic and musicality.
New design guideline "Cleaner with more Triode Splendidness" was refined through extracting the knowledge we learned from Kagura researches and applications.
New output transformer was designed for higher sound quality. By introducing a 3rd winding exclusively for NFB and re-calculated feedback amount, a well balance of dynamic and low distortion is realized.
Power and sound quality co-exist created by circuit re-design and re-tuning most CR values.
Power supply section is heavily improved and re-layout for outstanding channel separation.
Improved version of KONDO original silver foil signal capacitors for highest reliability.
