Pharaoh II
Integrated Amplifier
When we began development of the Pharaoh amplifier we had one overarching
goal: The realization of an integrated amplifier that, without compromise,
would offer the performance of the finest separates. The new Pharaoh II pushes that performance to an even higher level. A new amplifier circuit designed around the Hypex N-core amplifier modules increases both power and performance. The preamplifier includes numerous upgrades as well as an improved phono section and an all new hybrid headphone amplifier. The Pharaoh II uniquely combines solid state power amplification with
tube preamplification to deliver amazing dynamics as well as the
organic midrange and sweet top end that only a tube amp can provide.
Along with truly outstanding sonics the Pharaoh II boasts numerous
features including a tube/MOSFET headphone circuit, mm/mc user adjustable
phono, home theater bypass, remote controlled volume with mute,
and a processor loop. The Pharaoh II is truly a "one box"
solution to all of your amplifier needs.
From a technical standpoint, the all important preamplifier section
utilizes a pair of long plate 12AU7 tubes configured in a mu-follower
topology. Large coupling caps and a host of exotic parts
ensure that the audio signal is preserved perfectly during this
critical stage of amplification. A huge linear power supply is then
used to deliver energy to the solid state power amplifier section.
Designed around the highly regarded Hypex N-CORE OEM modules, the amplifiers
provide seemingly unlimited power and dynamics.

Good to Be King.....
