Audionet SAM 20 SE
Limited Edition
Celebrating Audionet’s legendary integrated amp’s 20 years anniversary we present the best SAM ever: the strictly limited SPECIAL EDITION SAM 20 SE (20th Anniversary).
A milestone in German amplifier construction:
- New MOSFET power transistors with extremely low series resistance for a higher and more detailed fidelity in transient response (as used in the new worldwide benchmark WATT).
- Extremely potent and acutely fast power supply, guaranteed by an encapsulated and cast-in 700 VA toroid transformer and new extremely low impedance and exceedingly fast audio-grade main capacitors with a 25% higher capacitance of 15,000 μF instead of 12,000 μF as before (total sum of 120,000 μF instead of 96,000 μF).
- Further optimized inner wiring, all signal cables are made of silver and gold providing highest resolution and finest details.
- New high grade mica capacitors in all places with crucial affect on sound. Their natural materials ensure a unique neutrality of sound.
- Engraved front panel and re-designed back panel.
- Dedicated SAM 20 SE Audionet metal remote control.
- Inbuilt Phono card with the following improvements:
- New integrated OpAmps of highest grade with extremely low-noise and fast FET inputs.
- Optimized mica capacitors throughout. Their natural materials ensure a unique neutrality of sound.
Function
