Product Features

  • Harmonic distortion of 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. The massive, welded cover provides effective electromagnetic shielding and significantly improves the signal-to-hum distance. An additional capacitor at the input enhances the dynamic range of the anode voltage filtration.
  • The filtration capacity is 3,900 mF / 550 V. A choke, placed under a welded cover, eliminates anode voltage ripple, increasing the filtering efficiency of the 100 Hz component of the anode voltage.
  • The output permalloy transformers are specially designed for the power amplifier.
  • Only high-quality polypropylene capacitors are used in the signal path.
  • Conductors on the signal paths are made of slow-drawn oxygen-free copper, coated with pure silver.
  • Instant switching between feedback and zero feedback modes.

Feedback vs Zero feedback

Canor Virtus M1 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 µF/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.
