ia11
Description
There has never been an introductory integrated amplifier with the
fit, finish and sound of the
Mystère
ia11. There —we said it. At first
glance, this amp simply takes your breath away; first, the proprietary
finish, resembling something like deep, rich, black glass, although
even those words don’t do it justice. Next, the fit: the way the tube
cage secures so snugly with its quick-release banana plugs; the per-
fect alignment of the transformer covers; the fully-vented chassis;
the heavy-gauge bottom plate…No expense spared.
Take a look inside—we encourage it. Point-to-point wired using
premium parts; dual-layer, polypropylene coupling caps; low-noise
resistors; high-purity copper conductors and the cleanest build
quality you can find.
And sound? The ia11 produces 40 watts of the sweetest, purist
sound you’ll ever hear. Specially-wound power and output trans-
formers deliver the kind of clean juice that makes the amp’s 40W
sound like 80. The pentode push-pull design is built around 6SN7
input/driver tubes and EL-34 power tubes that deliver a dynamic
presentation. And you’ll never have to worry about biasing tubes;
Mystère
has incorporated a dual-mono Adaptive AutoBias circuit
that automatically adjusts each tube to its sweet spot. Want to try
different EL34s? Just plug them in! Topping it off, the ia11 utilizes a
24-step volume attenuator, the kind of control found only on the
most expensive, five-figure amps.
