The latest amplifier design by David Berning. Striking a balance between triode and pentode mode, the new ZOTL Ultralinear amp provides the unique advantages of each while maintaining all the benefits of the ZOTL circuitry.

Born Electronic FM Acoustics Modules

If you have problems with FM Acoustics Module, contact us. All modules from older devices are available.

Normal faults with the FM modules are cracking, scratching, total failure, sporadic intermittent faults or undefinable states of the output signal. Modules were carefully reproduced by us from the original module.

The parts used correspond to a much higher standard than modules from 20 years ago or older. The modules 19010, 19003, 19004 shown are built into the FM 801, FM 801A, FM 611 or 811, 100% plug and play.

Modules 19003 & 19004 are from the FM236 crossovers. Every other module is now available in original quality at really fair prices, about 80-90% cheaper.

Norse Acoustics news

Recent development has led us to the decision that Norse Acoustics Goddess line will be fully active speakers only.

We have all plans ready for our Goddess line which will consist of three models when the lineup is complete. Our goal is to offer the most accurate speakers on the market within their size and format. They will also cost a lot of money……..unfortunately.

On the other hand, put up against a traditional High-End setup, they will be a bargain. We are talking pistonic, low distortion drivers and transparent electronics. These models were already planned, but we decided to drop the passive and semi-active versions. Below you can see the design study for the largest model. We call it Frigg.

Unfortunately, Goddess series will probably not be available until Q4 2020, but it will be worth the wait.

There are lower cost alternatives in the pipeline where most of the ‘R’ has been done, and they are in line for the ‘D’. (R-Research, D-Development)

What about enthusiasts looking for analog and/or passive solutions?
We have some exiting news to show you in a short while. But it will not be Norse Acoustics brand……

PS! Please be aware that the pictures are not the final product. It’s very close in shape and size, but the final version will have different drivers, and some very nice details that we have not implemented yet.

Etalon Sound TruAmp mono amps

The final touchdowns on “TruAmp” are close to their completion. >250W monoblocks are almost finished in their development and they passed all the tests on our workbench.

To reiterate what’s so unique about “TruAmp” and why it’s so “true” to the signal we’d like to briefly mention its main features:

1. The shortest signal path possible and the meticulous choice of component and materials used.

2. Additionally, a very small amount of negative feedback is being used, and, finally, the mono amplifiers are fully balanced – all the way, from the inputs to the outputs.

3. “TruAmp”’s design utilizes only two stages of amplification; moreover, the first one is passive.
The latter is what we call “SuperT transformer”. (Patented by Etalon Sound, Firstly presented at MHES'2019) It provides the necessary signal voltage gain without distorting and limiting the amplitude-frequency response at the lowest and highest audio frequencies (as most of the conventional step-up transformers do).

The “SuperT”’s outstanding performance is achieved via applying a unique nanocrystalline iron alloy for its core. This cutting edge alloy vastly outperforms any ferrites, different iron alloys and even Permalloy in the magnetic permeability.

Because the number of turns in the transformer is quite small, this “SuperT” feature allows us to minimize the transformer core’s dimensions, which, in its turn, leads to a much smaller flux leakage, stray capacitance and resistive losses in its windings.

Additionally, the shape of “SuperT” transformer itself and “Symmetrized” litz wire used in its windings provide the further improvement of its properties compared to the ones demonstrated by conventional transformers of similar weight and size.

The output stage is a unity gain current amplifier operating in AB mode. It’s built with powerful Mosfet transistors of “lateral” structure. The latter devices do have a lot more linear transconductance to drain current rate than “vertical” Mosfets, and the designs applying them are widely recognized as very “musical” ones. On top of it, the output Mosfets for any production sample of “TruAmp” are meticulously hand-matched with some very strict tolerances.

To conclude, the “TrueAmp” monoblock amplifier recently went through a set of multiple strict auditioning in some top-notch audio systems, and the experts’ verdict: the sound of the amplifier is truly magnificent.

Present stage is designing and producing the appropriate High-End-level body.

The first items will be delivered to distributor's showroom this spring, and of course, we will be presented at 2020 trade shows and exhibitions.

Aura Fidelity Audiophile Amp 110 Class A-A

Traditional

The basic DNA of almost any  audio amplifiers has been the same for many years. You can clearly see  the three stages found in many audio amps. They are differential, voltage gain and current output stage. The design and building of these stages can be very advanced. It can also output alright and to a point beautiful music. However they are far from perfect.

​The mixing of feedback signal with pure input signal in the differential is a disaster.  Inverting the signal phase twice  through a not entirely perfect designed signal path results in a lot of small errors.

It results in a kind of “electronic fog. The biasing of the current output stage could be better with  new thinking and renewing.


Aura Fidelity has designed and built a totally different audio amplifier system.

It starts with two non inverting voltage gain stages with 1/25 gain. The first one works with the positive part of the signal phase, the other one the negative part. The distortion in these stages is close to zero. The signal gets energy from the non inverting current gain. From there it is directly transfered to the output current stage.

The design allows operation without any form for feedback. An advanced Bias Servo Circuit, free and independent of line swings provides max efficiency to the high linear output transistors.

The Aura Fidelity Audiophile AMP 110 stands for a superb music reproduction - it is well defined and pure over the whole frequency range. It is purely designed for audiophiles and music lovers.

McIntosh MC901 Dual Mono Amplifier

$35000 /pr


The MC901 is a monoblock amplifier that drives a single speaker. But it is unlike any other monoblock amplifier. What makes the MC901 so unique is that it's two amplifiers combined into one. Adding to the uniqueness is that each amplifier is of differing design philosophies: the MC901 consists of a 300 Watt vacuum tube amplifier attached to a 600 Watt solid state amplifier on one unified chassis.
