Andros Téssera
$12,000
- 4 Tone Arms (Téssera means 4 in Greek)
- 6 tubes: 4 ea. 12AX7/ECC83s and 2 ea. 12AU7/ECC82
- Dual Mono 2 independent stereo channels
- 2 sets of controls on the front, one set for each channel
- 6 transformers (4 upgraded MC stepup, 2 output)
- True transformer floating ground balanced XLR outputs, 150 Ohms impedence
- Maximum output level 8 V RMS
- Dual Chassis
- 3 External linear regulated power supplies with 3 specially rated fuses
- 12 MC load positions per channel: 50,100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 500, 700, 800, 1000 Ohms
- 2 MM load positions per channel
- 3 Gain positions for both MM & MC per channel
- Signal switching done with relays
- No transistors anywhere in signal path
- Significant upgrade to MC transformers which are much larger, heavier and twice as expensive
- The sonic benefits are big as well. You have a larger lamination core so you get a better low frequency response. The multiple windings simply pack more wires for lower noise and flatter phase response.
- Dedicated output tubes and output transformers drive the signal
- 10′ DC umbilical cable incorporating special RFI suppresion
- Special locking Bayonet connector, rated for higher voltage and higher current
