Sphinx Project 10 Integrated Stereo Amplifier

The Sphinx Project 10 (often referred to as Project Ten) is a highly regarded, all-analog, Dutch-engineered high-end integrated amplifier. Reviewers and audiophiles praise it for its transparent, incredibly wide bandwidth, and highly refined musicality. Key Specifications Power Output: 80 W × 2 into 8 Ω (Peak: 25 V at 20 A) Bandwidth: Ultra-linear wideband design; > 1 MHz (60 kHz after input filter) Inputs: 5 gold-plated line-level inputs (including 1 balanced XLR) Volume Control: Motor-driven high-end ALPS potentiometer Internal Wiring: Proprietary Siltech silver cable Headphone Stage: Independent high-quality headphone output jack Dimensions: \(480 \text{ mm} \text{ (W)} \times 110 \text{ mm} \text{ (H)} \times 330 \text{ mm} \text{ (D)}\) Weight: 12 kg Design Highlights The Project 10 utilizes precision relays for input selection to maintain the shortest and cleanest signal path. It is entirely analog, which means it focuses entirely on amplification purity rather than including on-board DACs. Furthermore, it features a unique "Sphinx Standby mode" that keeps the circuitry warmed up for instant, maximum audio performance.
