New super strong power transformers combined with more powerful power and driver stage chokes assure the increased peak current consumption of the power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt’s uncompromising design with rich and varied interplay of macro- and micro lines of dynamic performance ideally paired with the „right” speakers result in an extremely fluent, powerful, and emotional sound stage, which never sounds harsh, listless, or annoying.  The ambiance of the original event is reproduced with uncanny precision as space illuminated by music. The Crossfire Evo is a magic masterpiece of simplicity and function which is pleasing to the eye and pleasant to the touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull-featured single-ended tube stereo integrated amp or pure power amplifier\u003cbr\u003eSE – pure Class-A triode vacuum tube-circuit design\u003cbr\u003eAA62B Power output tubes high peak current \u0026amp; high voltage delivery\u003cbr\u003eIdeal also for more difficult loudspeaker loads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVacuum Tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice of signal and power tubes have a significant influence on the sound and hence on the inspiration and joy of listening. This is not only the decision between good and bad tubes but finally the interaction of the different types of tubes and their combination that are used in the various Ayon amplifiers. Today only few manufacturers still produce tubes for pure audio amplification; one of them is Ayon Audio with its outstanding single-ended triode power tubes (AA32B-S, AA52B-S and AA62B) based on the WE 300B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Path\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe believe that the simplest circuits work best together with the shortest signal path. That is why our SE-Triode amplifiers to date have used single-ended pure class A circuitry. The shorter the signal path is, the less possibility of sonic degradation from various sources, including the wire itself. Even on the circuit boards, the copper traces are kept to a very minimum length. The completely redesigned circuit board provides a more straightforward and direct approach to the signal paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogical sequenced soft-start power up for extended tube life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube and electronic protection circuit system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0dB negative feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDHT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra short signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimplest direct circuit path for purest musical sound and high reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo solid state devices in the signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh current and low impedance design that operates tubes in the best areas their curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal discrete wiring for optimum signal propagation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal static bias adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo followers or buffers in the signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality parts throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelector switch engages relays located near RCA jacks to switch all inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle ended amps are more susceptible to power supply aberrations than push-pull amplifiers. The power supplies have been further refined with new components and enhanced AC line noise filtration. Separate power transformers, chokes and filters provide total isolation between the input and output stage which makes this a pure power source and it is a critical attribute for a single-ended amplifier. We also use electrolytic capacitors with much larger storage capacity to make up for the loss in filtering when using resistors in lieu of inductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 separate super strong and low noise –insulated power transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower transformers are encased, excellent damped and RFI\/EMI shielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnovative power supply provides a high speed energy delivery on transients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual choke filtered power supply for Ayon AA62B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual choke for pre and driver stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube regulated power supply (5U4G)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate and isolated power supplies over each stage of amplification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegulated DC filament supplies with soft start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC power line filter to avoid noise and hash from entering into the unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh capacitance energy storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent in-rush limiting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto sequencing – Power on cycle completes in 1 minute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual Grounding System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe modification of the grounding topology leads to increased rejection of noise from the power supply and other areas. The dual grounding topology used in all of our amplifiers is quite unique to the whole hi-end tube amplification industry. Such extensive topology provides for quieter backdrop for which the music can unfold in its entirety. It further establishes the quick and controlled bass response and the full-bodied expression of the high frequency. The ground leg of the signal has not been neglected and given meticulous attention in its implementation.
