Mono & Stereo announced a new 50th Anniversary flagship Class A Integrated which will be launched at the end of 2019. The new amp will have 50 watts/8 Ohms Class A power. The msrp will be $21KUS, positioning the amp in between the Vitus RI-101 and SIA-025 Mk2.
According to Online Stereosound, the new amp inherits the fully balanced AAVA volume control from the C3850. As per the E-650. the amp has two option board expansion slots for the legacy DAC-50 Digital Input, AD-50 MM/MC Phono & LINE-10 boards. (Footnote: the option boards for the Vitus SIA-030 are an improved version of the option boards for the RI-101, developed specially for the 030). And like the 40th Anniversary line of products, this new line should lead to a range of models being updated incl: the C3850, A250, and DC/DP950.
The amp has some impressive specs, incl: a high damping factor of 1000. And it is a heavyweight at 36kg which is approaching the RI-101 (40kg). Still it's more evolution than revolution as per most new Accuphase offerings. Here are the preliminary specs..
■ Rated continuous average output: 300W / ch (1Ω) (limited to music signals), 200W / ch (2Ω), 100W / ch (4Ω), 50W / ch (8Ω)
■ Total harmonic distortion: 0.05% 2Ω load , 0.03% 4 to 16Ω load
IM distortion rate: 0.01%
Frequency characteristics: MAIN IN: Rated continuous average output 20Hz to 20kHz -0.2dB, 1W output 3Hz to 150kHz -3.0dB, HIGH LEVEL INPUT: Rated continuous average Output: 20Hz to 20kHz -0.5dB
■ Damping factor: 1000 (8Ω 50Hz)
■ Load impedance: 2 to 16Ω
■ Output voltage and output impedance: PRE OUTPUT, LINE: 796mV / 50Ω, BAL: 796mV / 50Ω
■ Gain: HIGH LEVEL INPUT → PREOUTPUT: 18dB, MAIN IN → OUT PUT: 28dB
■ Tone control: bass 300Hz / + -10dB , treble 3KHz / +-10dB
■ Loudness control: + 6dB (100Hz)
■ Attenuator: -20dB
■ Power consumption: 180W ( No signal), 390W (Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law), 280W (8Ω load rated output)
■ Accessories: Instruction manual, remote control (RC -240), power cable (APL-1)
