Audio Note Empress Silver Power Amplifier

*In accordance with the wishes of Audio Note, this product cannot be purchased by mail order, so will always show as 'out of stock' here, if you would like to purchase one please get in contact for more information*

The Empress Silver amplifiers are mono blocks that use a pair of 2A3 single ended triodes in parallel single ended configuration without feedback. These are fed from 6SN7 valves and the power supply is valve rectified with the 5R4GY. 

A low gain version is available for use with higher gain active pre amplifiers or when used with very efficient loudspeakers or both, helping to keep noise to a minimum.  

The Silver version builds upon the already superb performance of the standard EMPRESS, and features Audio Note 1watt Tantalum resistors and IHiB C-Core output transformers
