Details
Based on our award winning Meishu Tonmeister 300B Single Ended Triode
integrated amplifier, the Konzertmeister takes the design to full
Level 4 performance and component quality.
The Meishu Phono Konzertmeister 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.
The Meishu Konzertmeister includes the following components: -
In house designed and manufactured,
copper / silver wired Double C Core UHiB interstage and output transformers.
In house designed and manufactured, copper wired Double C Core SHiB mains
transformer, Double C Core IHiB filament transformer,
and Double C Core SHiB choke.
Copper and silver internal signal wiring throughout.
