Trafomatic Aries, EL34 SE Integrated Amplifier

Complete review on 6moons.

We at ENG Vista, Inc. are distributors for Trafomatic Audio in the US.

From manufacturer's website:

Like our custom 2A3 monos and reference white Kaivalya EL84 monos, the Aries integrated began life as a custom commission. Unlike the two others, this time the client wasn't a private music lover but hifi distributor. He'd read a review about how the Kaivalyas came into being. Now he was inspired to ask whether we could design for him a low-power amplifier which he would bundle with the Hoyt Bedford line of single-driver speakers he imports to Australia. Their sensitivity requires little power. Their value pricing asked for an equally affordable but quality amplifier. Thus was born the Trafomatic Audio Aries.

Description:
It is a class A single-ended triode circuit with, per channel, one EL34 driven by half an ECC81 double triode. There are three inputs and one pre-out to support a subwoofer. Input sensitivity is 0.85Vrms, THD 1.55% at 1 watt. Bandwidth is 10Hz (-2dB) - 40kHz (-3dB). Size is 350 x 220 x 200mm. Weight is 12kg. Following in the footsteps of our special Kaivalya monos, the finish is modern gloss white lacquer.
