MAGNETO is for ferromagnetic components, so the output transformers. SOLID is for solid state components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transformers are a consequence of our schematics like the tube schematics. In practice what did I actually do ?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI created solid state amplifiers with the rich natural sound of the tube amps - but not only are the frequency response of Magnetosolid® amps so much bigger than tube amps, the true plus is the damping factor - our impedance output is very, very low compared to tube amplifiers. This gives huge control and grip in the bass frequencies that tubes can only dream of !!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other very important aspect of this design is in refinement of our design\/schematic :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- no capacitances between the stages (only before output transistors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- only two output transistors (simple push-pull)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- no feedback (zero)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- for every device we use a \u003cu\u003ededicated\u003c\/u\u003e power supply circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we use a design\/schematic like the best tube amps, but improved!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople think that tubes play better than solid state components...Really, tube amplifiers play better than ordinary solid state amplifiers, only for their design, not for the tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo with the Grandinote Solo Integrated Amplifier, we have brought to market a sound which absolutely embodies the addictive and dreamy nature of the best valve amplifiers, but with the dexterity, control and grip of the best solid state - prepare for a musical experience which will set a new bar in your expectations.........\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Grandinote","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938601173258,"sku":"GRANDINOTE-8416","price":16990.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/grandin-solo","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
