Incredibly there is no driver stage and no input stage! This extremely simple topology we feel is a breakthrough in amplifier design, and is an elusive design goal for many, including our lab. It is only possible to execute now as we are finally able to use an active element that has the needed specifications for the purpose: Extremely high linearity, high voltage gain, high current gain and very high input impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"visible\"\u003eTriode or solid state?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"visible\"\u003eThe triode-like transfer curves of the next Generation TriodeFet used in the QuintEssence elevates the performance of the new  Ianus amplifier to surpass the the very best Single Ended tube amplifiers. The superb midrange , treble, accurate timbre and immersive soundstage that we expect from big bottle tube amplification are taken to another level..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"visible\"\u003eAs with all the  Ianus Series amplifiers,  it is also able to deliver more current than their tube counterparts, and are essentially maintenance free as the internal tubes used for curve creation are rated at 10,000 hours lifespan. Its unique single stage nature means that it is as sonically transparent as it can get. The amplifier power delivery is 60W (8ohm) full class A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aries Cerat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68276022116575,"sku":null,"price":145000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9645\/9818\/files\/AriesCeratQuintessenceTriodeFetMonoblocks.png?v=1792738572","url":"https:\/\/gc-hifi.com.au\/products\/aries-cerat-quintessence-triodefet-monoblocks","provider":"GC Hifi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
