Lyrical masterpieces often can
be judged only by following generations. In case
of the lyric Ti120, the Hi-Fi world doesn’t need
to wait that long. Even the first measurements showed
equal power output for both versions of the amplifier
circuit, no matter which valve types were used.
That was a big surprise, because even our own engineers
didn’t expect the EL34 producing the same rated
output power of 70 watts x 2 at 1% THD like the
KT88 did.
What everyone may expect from
Lyric is the characteristically point-to-point wiring
throughout the whole amplifier and the handy remote
control. This remote control will control volume,
select input and switch between two negative feedback
modes.
Output tube bias can be fine-tuned
by using LEDs readout with the adjusting trim potentiometers
on top of the chassis panel. So output tubes like
the KT88, KT66, 6550, 6L6 or EL34 can be easily
changed and quickly readjusted. You have the choice
between the different sounds of each set of output
tubes. In any case, the sonic benefits of
the high quality mains transformer are recognizable
at once.
The amp was designed in Germany
by or chief engineer Stefan Noll, who is regarded
as an expert in terms of valve technology.
