Details

The Kapellmeister is the ultimate version of our award winning

Meishu Tonmeister 300B Single Ended Triode integrated amplifier,

taking the design to full Level 5 performance and component quality.


The Meishu Phono Kapellmeister is a Pure Class A Singled Ended valve amplifier
that uses the highly regarded 300B directly heated triode valve, producing a level of
performance that is radically superior to the vast majority of current designs.


The circuit is a beautiful example of elegant simplification, something that could only
be realised thanks to our ability to create extremely closely matched

transformers in-house, and having our own supply of custom resistors,

in-house made foil capacitors and custom made electrolytic capacitors.

These allow us to have extremely tight control over the performance and voicing

of the complete signal path, from input to output, something that is

simply beyond the possibilities of manufacturers

who have to rely on 'off the shelf' components.
 

The result is an amplifier that maintains the legendary musicality, midrange magic
and glorious tonal colour of the Meishu Tonmeister,

whilst bringing new and previously unheard levels of information retrieval

and dynamic expression.
 

This is the current ‘state of the art’ when it comes to 300B SET integrated amplifiers!
