Canor Virtus M1 Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier
Taxes & Shipping Included
The Canor Virtus M1 represents the pinnacle of the brand's engineering expertise—a meticulously crafted vacuum tube power amplifier operating in pure Class A configuration. This reference-grade component embodies CANOR's commitment to sonic excellence and stands as a benchmark within their amplifier lineup, delivering the warmth and musicality that discerning audiophiles demand from high-fidelity systems.
Feedback vs Zero feedback
Canor Virtus Ml enables instant switching between the connection with the feedback or with zero global feedback. This has an influence on the overall performance of the power amplifier which results in a different listening experience.
The power transformer
The transformer core is vacuum impregnated, and the entire transformer is encapsulated in a special anti-vibration compound. In addition, the massive, welded cover in which the transformer is located creates effective electromagnetic shielding and contributes significantly to the excellent signal-to-hum distance.
High filtration capacity
The filtration capacity is 3.900 uF/550V. A choke, that is placed under welded cover, has been used to eliminate anode voltage ripple, which increases the filtering efficiency of the 100 Hz component of the anode voltage. The additional capacitor at the input improves the dynamic of the anode voltage filtration.
The output transformers
The output permalloy transformers are specially designed for the power amplifier.
High class capacitors
Only high-quality polypropylene capacitors are used in the signal path.
The signal path conductors
The conductors on the signal paths consist of slow-drawn oxygen-free copper, which is coated with pure silver.
CMT™
The TP101 A30 utilizes our advanced CMT™ (CANOR ® PCB Milling Technology) for optimal performance. The CMT™ allows us to get the dielectric loss factors (loss tangent) of PCB close to the loss factor of air. Thanks to this technology we managed to get repeatedly to the parameter level of the so-called "wire-to-wire connections".
Features
- Harmonic distortion - 0,0028 % at 1 W; 0,011 % at 5 W and 0,13 % at 50 W is achieved by harmonizing all circuits and components.
- The transformer core is vacuum impregnated, and the entire transformer is encapsulated in a special anti-vibration compound. In addition, the massive, welded cover in which the transformer is located, creates effective electromagnetic shielding and contributes significantly to the excellent signal-to-hum distance.
