Introduction
Thank you for choosing Audiopax Model M88 , our acclaimed 30W per channel single-
ended (class a1) amplifier that has been described as “ a legend in its own time ”. It is not only a
beautifully crafted piece of art using the best possible audio components - but also one of the
most innovative pieces of equipment on the market, with several unique features and topology
so revolutionary among tube amplifiers that it is probably the only major innovation in this
category in recent decades. It is a piece of recognized equipment worldwide, with numerous
international awards and enthusiastic reviews, being a reference for amplifiers worldwide.
Each component used in your
Model 88 was carefully selected for maximum
performance and the synergy among the components is taken into account - a perfect balance
between specific qualities and their overall effect is a key point to achieve its unique sound. This
includes not only the choice of the electronic parts (resistors, capacitors, inductors, wiring,
sockets, connectors, etc.) but also several innovations in the fields of electromagnetic
interference canceling and vibration control. As a good example,
Audiopax is one of the few
companies in the audio market that uses coupling capacitors developed specifically for their
equipment, in a successful association with the Jupiter Condenser, one of the main brands
specialized in it.
Model 88 is also one of the rare pieces of equipment that uses brass as the
main material for its chassis (a material that is much more expensive than aluminum or steel),
something that due to its diamagnetic characteristics, has the capacity to generate inverted
magnetic fields at its interior that can cancel external ones.
Besides all the care and craftmanship used in its components,
Model 88 has several
exclusive technologies, as described below.

Simply placed, it is an “adjustment to the smallest perceived distortion of the system as a
whole”. At its inception, for the first time the design of an amplifier “sacrificed” equipment
measurements to prioritize the listener's real perception by taking advantage of the predictability
of distortion patterns, achieving the highest possible rate of cancellation between distortions
generated by an amplifier with those generated by the speakers.

won the top
award from Hi-Fi News, England's most traditional audiophile magazine, the Industry Award
2003 for Best Valve Amplifier Innovation , and was described by it as " a great application that
works; simply and simply. ”
