A-965
1050 Watt 7 Channel Main Amplifier
The A-965 is a 7-channel, 80-pound, independent main amp
designed specifically for low impedance loads. With a power supply that contains
two huge toroidal power transformers and the capability to unleash greater
than a kilowatt of output power—the A-965 could easily be used as a poster
boy for the concept of “High Current.”
But there is more to this amp than brute force. Each channel, from gold-plated
input to heavy duty output, is built on a separate circuit board as an independent
mono block, a design which minimizes cross-talk (and facilitates repair in
the unlikely event that should become necessary). The discrete circuitry utilizes
PNP differential input, Darlington current driver and parallel, pure-complementary,
push-pull output. The results? The A-965 has the delicacy to limit its Intermodulation
Distorion to only 7 parts in 100,000 (0.007% IMD) yet with all channels driven,
the A-965 delivers 160 Watts x 7 at any combination of frequencies between
20 Hz and 20 kHz with less than 0.09% THD.
