Solid State Amplifiers

We have carefully selected high end brands which know how to design and engineer transistor circuits which play to the strengths of this technology ( tautness, control micro dynamics) whilst minimising glare, etchedness and excessive resolution).

Goldmund

We have recently added a number of Goldmund peices to the permenant collection at Grass Dance . For those who are not familiar with the Goldmund sound , we thought this peice might be helpful since it arcuturately summarise our experience and response to Goldmund

"Goldmund systems have historically been characterized not so much by a particular sound as by a set of sound qualities. These include: a purity that allows details to emerge naturally; a degree of openness that, for example, enables uncannily realistic overtone structures and which can only be con- ferred by essentially unlimited band- width; unbounded dynamics along with lightning-fast dynamic reflexes; and the ability to trace, say, a brisk piano run without a hint of the slurring we have come to deem unavoidable. These qualities have created a cadre of devotees who, are spoiled for anything else "

Goldmund 27.3 Analogue Preamplifier

This analogue preamplifier is at the beginning of Goldmund' high end range. It offers an exceptionally fast,transparent sound and can optionally upgraded to incoporate Goldmund's hi end Alise DAC's. The 27.3 is perfectly partnered with either the Telos 150 Power amplifier or the Telos 200 Monoblock Power Amplifiers.

Goldmund Telos 150 Power Amplifier

Based on the circurity of the Telos 200, the ultra high bandwidth power offers exceptional control and drive of loudspeakers. The Telos 150 provides a maximum powerof >300W rms at 3 ohms.Again the Telos 150 is chracterised by an exceptionally fast, neutral and sweet sound. In our experience at ......, the Telos 150 represents a significant bargin with the 27.3 providing a combination which can substanially match commercial benchmark pre-amplifier and amplifier combinations at three times the price .

Goldmund Telos 200 Monoblock Power Amplifiers

The Reference Telos 200 Monoblock 200 monoblock amplifers are capable of very high power and like all other Telos amplifiers ultra high speed and exceptional bandwidth . Amongst several other key features the Telos 200 incoporates a Goldmund Alise 5 DAC. This feature comes into its own when used with a Goldmund Digital Preamplifier.

The combination of Goldmund's 27.3 preampifier and Telos 200 Monoblocks offers reference levels of performance.

As part of our development strategy to provide complete didgial systems we shortly will be offering Goldmunds digital pre-amplifiers which allow for conversion of analogue sources into the digtal domain.

Red Wine Audio

New to these shores, are the exceptional Red Wine Amplifiers, designed by Vincent Rossi, is another remarkable product which is been designed to bridge the sonic divide between the best transistor amplifiers and Single ended triodes. Nothing new is this. However Red Wine Signature 30 succeeds. It has spectacular performance at any reasonable price point.

Signature 30 Integrated Amplifier, others to follow.

Rogue Audio

Rogue audio offer hand made, high end, made valve products, which offer exceptional value for money. Many manufacturers make this claim Rogue Audio , along with Croft,is one of the very few that can back up this claim.Products on demonstration - please call.

Accuphase

These beautifully built Japanese amplifiers produce timbrally accurate, deeply relaxing sound from which the musical intent emerges, allowing the listener to engage with the music’s structure and form at will. These amplifiers never draw unnecessary attention to themselves through artificial projection of detail, frequency accentuations or colourations.
