Synthesis Roma 117DC - Stereo Tube Pre-Amplifier | Display Unit

For over three decades we have been dedicated to the research of audio excellence. Mr. Luigi Lorenzon and his team is dedicated to creating audio components that honour musical performances. Through careful design, careful selection of the best components available and meticulous attention to construction, we have created what we believe to be an unrivalled line preamplifier in its class. The new ROMA117DC tube line preamplifier with its great tonal balance and refined reproduction is the perfect combination with the ROMA98DC mono power amps. The ROMA117DC matches the simple and elegant design of the rest of the ROMA Series A product of great musicality for the most demanding music lovers.

The audio circuit consists of a two-stage amplification incorporating two Pairs of 6922 / ECC88 Tubes.
The balanced and balanced inputs are managed through the use of an input tube. The output stage of the amplier is made using an output transformer. A low output impedance makes the ROMA117DC extremely flexible in the choice of interconnect cables for connection to the final stages of power amplifiers. The frequency response is extremely linear and extended enough to reach 5 Hz - 40KHz at -3dB. The power supplies of both the filaments and the anodic are electronically regulated with a regulation better than 0.1%.

Features a remote control that allows for volume adjustment and source selector. Electronic switches are located near the input connectors, keeping signal paths very short to minimize crosstalk between channels. In the audio circuit, only precision resistors a metal film and polypropylene capacitors are used. The tubes have been selected to ensure quality and minimize noise and microphonics.

Synthesis NYC 500  Mono Power Amplifiers (Pair) | Display Unit

The NYC500 provides a minimum of 500 watts RMS power output from 8 KT120's in Ultra-Linear

(UL) - push/pull operation in 4 ohms and 8 ohms.

The NYC500 features a newly designed custom output transformer designed to achieve highly delicate and precise sound with extraordinary musicality from tubes, but with the authority of the best transistor amplifier.

FEATURES

- DC Powered tube heater

All tubes, except KT120, have DC stabilized heater circuits to reduce hum noise to a near in-audible minimum.

- Output transformer

The Output transformer uses a double C-core Hi-Grade Iron-Silicon for superb frequency reproduction and bandwidth. With this newly designed custom output transformer unique to the

NYC500 we are able to achieve highly delicate and precise sound reproduction faithful to the original recording.

- Mechanical chassis construction

The power supply and output transformers are held by an extremely rigid “H” structure that keeps the unit free from unwanted vibrations which further helps reduce unwanted noise to the tubes.

- Feet

Four CNC machined aluminum feet with an insert of natural rubber. The depth and form of these rubber feet minimize the vibration of the amplifier in isolation from its surroundings.

- Fan

A 120mm fan provides a speed between 500 to 700 rpm which is controlled via micro. This ULN (Ultra-Low-Noise) unit is tailor-made for the serious enthusiast who demands super-slow running

speeds and the utmost silence of operation.

- Bias control

The factory set fine bias control is microprocessor controlled to maintain the optimum settings. If required this can be adjusted without the use of an external voltmeter by use of an internally fitted display device.

- Dual mono Circuitry

A completely dual mono design minimizes the crosstalk across channels. Power transformers use hi-grade iron silicon M0 and separate supplies with hi-grade selected capacitors to produce

extremely low ripple levels. Independent of the mains transformer, each channel has a separate power supply guaranteeing a large reservoir of energy to meet the demands of the amplifier circuit

and to maintain excellent interference immunity between channels.

- Binding posts

Two pairs each output (predispose for bi-wiring connection) of gold plated professional binding posts for a continued oxidization free connection further improve sound refinement.

- Socket

Gold plated ceramic sockets for a continued oxidization free connection further improve sound refinement.

- Components

Components for the NYC500 have been selected with great care throughout. Only the best available components are considered and all must undergo an exhaustive analysis of their sonic influence prior to final selection.

- Selected tubes

All tubes used are selected after 2 stages warm-up. A fully computer monitored machine controls the process and at the end of this, selects the perfect tubes which are matched for a perfect balance.

Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 Signature (Midnight Blue Metallic) 

40 years of excellence

Innovation. 801 D4 is defined by it. In each of its incarnations over the decades, 801 has always been the most advanced loudspeaker that we know to make at that particular point in time, a showcase of all our newest technologies and most original thinking. Small wonder it has become an icon.

The ultimate Matrix™

Matrix bracing uses interlocking panels to reinforce loudspeaker cabinet walls in all directions internally, reducing resonance and creating a more believable soundstage. The Matrix assembly in 801 D4 is our best yet, upgraded with extensive aluminium bracing to reinforce key stress points.

Turbine™ Head

The all-aluminium Turbine Head houses our Continuum™ midrange cone in a stiff and critically damped enclosure to eliminate unwanted resonances. At the same time, it’s decoupled from both the bass enclosure and the tweeter body. The result? The most realistic midrange sound yet.

Biomimetic Suspension

Sometimes, making a big difference takes unconventional thinking. Our new Biomimetic Suspension revolutionises midrange performance by greatly reducing the unwanted air pressure and coloration that a traditional fabric spider can generate. The result? Midrange transparency you wouldn’t believe.

The science of sound

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We question, we examine, we understand and then we evolve. We use computer modelling to explore and reimagine every aspect of loudspeaker design. Learn more about all the technologies that combine to make 800 Series Diamond so special here.bun
