A review of Artemis is out.
I've seen the inside of Artemis and Apollo.
Both are using big blue caps - they look like the same that are used in A-300X.

For sure...i have also had the pleasure of communicating with Marc off-line on a number of occassions, and he has always been extremely helpful, responsive and forthright. He also has a wealth of experience, and is able to provide insights when seeking guidance on different pieces of equipment.

And the sound of A-200 S2 is exceptional too.

-- Sir (wizard), do you listen to most of the beautiful pieces of audio equipment that you post?
Most (all) of them are true beauties and with specs to die for.
EDIT: I kind of knew it that it was risky to ask a question, but I had to try anyway. :b

Yes I've listened to almost all brands on the market, but not B-80 and A-300X yet.
But I've heard AM ref preamp and B-130 amps, and they are close up to the sound of FMA 268 and 1811 at a fraction of their price.
The Excellence products I think will beat all the FMA products.
AM, Trinity and two handfuls of other brands are part of the new generation of products that sounds better than the very overpriced older brands.
Yes Trinity known as GTE - their new cheaper products sounds better than the old tri-shaped products, and the new Trinity Phono sounds better than FMA 222 and 223.
Before I just bought the most expensive products on the market, and I thought I was getting the best sound there is, but I don't need that anymore.
-- Thanks a great bunch for your reply, much appreciated mister wizard.

How much current in A can it deliver?
Any class A power output?
Power output in 2 ohms?
B-80 is a monoblock that deliver 80 watt in class A.
The stereo B-60 at 62kg is a better comparison to the MA-300 than the mono B-80.

Hi Wizard
Do you have any further details on the Trinity phono stage, besides the alternate riaa equalisation. What does it do better than the FM acoustic phono stages or others like Pass xp-25, ARC ref2 ss?
Regards
I will write about Tripoint in a different thread.
More AM updates - B-60 and B-80 will be updated in May/June.
And in April all the Excellence products will be released - including the phono stage.

After easily beating the Rowland 201 monos, M-150 is one of AM Audio's best selling amp.
View attachment 9105
Rowland 201 inside - price in Italy is €6500 /pr.
201 is using Icepower 500ASP module - price $300 each.
Anyone can guess the M-150 price? (much lower than 201)
