of your music and fill your home with powerful sound.
Sound First design principles & Toroidal Transformer
This
principle focusesexclusively on the things that make music sound good and cuts
extra cost and clutter. The aim is to deliver the best-sounding system at this
reasonable price. For instance, the multi-channel surround-sound codecs and terminals
in a hi-fi amp add complexity, and introduce noise. But the AM10 is a pure
stereo amp which means better sounding music. The extra power reserve a toroidal transformerthat delivers means
not only a far better bass response, but also a deeper, richer reproduction of
music across the board.
All-metal case & Vacuum fluorescent display
The
all-metal case is carefully damped to minimise vibration and maximise music
purity. You can connect a turntable
directly to the amplifier without an extra box.Vacuum fluorescent displayarebright, backlit displays that are
readable from the other side of the room.

connections are available for up to five separate, traditional stereo sources
(CD player, radio, DVD, Blu-ray, iPod dock, etc). Direct 3.5mm MP3 player/smartphone socketallows you to plug an MP3 player
or smartphone into the front via this dedicated connection.
