T+A A3000 HV Power Amplifier & PS3000 HV Power Supply

R 290 000 Condition Very Good Colour Silver Packaging Complete, Original Status Current IMPORTANT NOTE: The A3000 HV Stereo with matching PS3000 HV is available for R 290 000. We have 2 sets available which means you could run them as two Mono amplifiers, each with its own External power supply. Both sets bought together the price will be reduced to R 520 000 Manufacturer's description: The A 3000 HV is designed as a stereo power amplifier, but can also be configured to work in mono mode, in which guise it is capable of delivering twice the current and in which it doubles the pure Class-A mode. Thanks to HV technology, this powerhouse offers superb sound characteristics as well as incredible power and performance: a standard which is unsurpassed even by much more expensive amplifiers. The principle of splitting a High-End system into separate pre-amplifier and power amplifier gave our development team the opportunity to implement the finest possible circuit designs and technologies without having to take into account space considerations and case restrictions. This applies both to the electronic components and the mechanical design of the case, since - if the aim is to attain the best possible sound - a preamplifier’s requirements are fundamentally different from those of an power amplifier: preamplifiers process relatively small signals, and the crucial aspect of their design is the avoidance of induced and other interference; power amplifier, on the other hand, have to cope with relatively large signals, and the stability of the power supply, its current delivery capacity and performance independent of load are much more important. The PS 3000 HV is a supplementary mains unit which was developed specifically for the A 3000 HV power amplifier and the PA 3100 HV integrated amplifier. Both deliver more than 500 Watts of power into 4 Ohms, and at such a high level of sound quality and performance that simply increasing the output power - and with it the voltage - produces no significant improvement in sound. Our research and development work in high-performance amplifiers - including the M10 and S10 - and the development of the HV design philosophy which flowed from this work, have shown clearly and unambiguously that the stability of the voltage and current supplied by a mains unit is of major and even crucial importance to the sound quality of an power amplifiers. From this we have drawn the only rational conclusion, and developed a supplementary external power supply. Contact us for more information.
