The Artemis Labs LA-1 Line Amplifier combines the
clean, accurate sound of a purist single-triode
line amplifier with the convenience and reliability
of a solid, well-built product. Special care is
taken with all parts in the audio path, from the Goldpoint™ stepped
attenuator to the Swedish output chokes by Lundahl.
The sonic clarity and detail are outstanding.
Key Features:
5 inputs, 2 outputs
Five stereo inputs available at the flick of
a switch. Two pairs of RCA output jacks allow
connections
to sub-woofer
or signal processor, as well as power amplifier.
12dB maximum gain
Provides adequate gain for most sources without
the hum and noise caused by excessive gain.
Goldpoint™ stepped attenuator
volume control
Series-type stepped attenuator using precision
metal-film resistors by Dale and switch mechanism
by Elma (Swiss).
Dual conductive-plastic balance controls
A separate potentiometer is used to balance
each channel. This allows maximum gain in the
normal balanced
condition and permits the use of high-quality
conductive plastic pots with no sonic degradation
yet infinite
resolution.
Mono/Stereo switch with LED indicator
The left and right channels can be merged,
with a yellow LED indicating the mono condition.
One 5687 tube per channel in Cool-Swap™ Configuration
An idle spare in each tube, plus tubes run
cooler.
Custom made choke loads for each triode
Allows tubes to run in their most linear mode
and permits lower plate supply voltage
Low-Gain MOSFET high voltage regulation
One regulator per channel minimizes cross-talk
and gives a firm, stable sound without
sounding “solid-state”.
Designed and built in the United States using
the best parts from around the world.
