We like to give practical purchase advice on the latest gadgets here on Techradar. But sometimes what we like more is to engage in the most ridiculous, high -end, advanced and advanced luxurious technology on the planet. This is what we bring to you in these silver columns without object – you can read the whole series here.
Are you a hardcore audiophile that has just won the lottery? Then excellent news! Teac has just announced an amplifier of the super-high end which promises to bring big sounds to your surround system while wrapped in a compact box.
From the specifications point of view, the Teac Stereo AP-507 stereo amplifier is exactly the type of luxury product we love to attach our money without an object label.
Since later this spring and at the price of $ 2,299 / £ 1,899, the AP-507 promises to deliver tight high-level audio engineering in a small shape factor design that will not dominate your living room.
Teac says that despite his adorable “letter size” imprint, the AP-507 will embody “the height of audio design”, joining the 500 reference series of the company’s luxury sound equipment. Like the rest of the range, the AP -507 amplifier – which will be available in black and money – was “designed to give music lovers a total control and flexibility” when it comes to adjusting their sound systems .
The Japanese audio expert makes impressive affirmations that would seem to justify the price of obtaining the bank balance from the AP-507. Sporting the module of amplifier of power “ ncorex ” of the new generation of the company, it could be a dream amp to associate with a part of Best stereo speakers.
Amplified
This technology will suppose an ultra-immersive three-dimensional sound scene supposedly, and TEAC affirms that the AP-507 will provide distortion sounds with high-efficiency and high efficiency thanks to its owner’s double-mono-mono buffer amplifier. This is a lot of technical audio terms to cross that the AP-507 should make your speaker system existing rather very glorious.
Designed to be both compact and flexible, the AP-507 offers a trio of listening modes: stereo, bi-ampli and mono blt, all delivered to 170 Watts, which is really a lot for something so small .
It is also a beautiful piece of audio equipment. Again, you would expect that of a high -end amp that costs this kind of money – I love the chic aluminum chassis. Its semi -filter upper plate 2.8 mm thick – also made of aluminum – is also rather animated by the eye shape.
Obviously, this price of $ 2,300 / £ 1,899 means that the TEAC AP-507 is a cute and compact amp which will be for the Hardcore audiophiles which simply lacked space for a large rack system.
