Premium components
At the heart of the 351A lies a heavy weight toroidal transformer, a premium component chosen for its ability to offer huge power reserves, excellent bass response, depth and rich musical reproduction across the volume range. Our choice of transformer certainly adds cost - and weight - to the 351A but unlike some other brands, we never skimp on the quality of key components which really make a difference to sound quality. In fact, like everything we create, the 351A sports only the features you really need - you won't find any unnecessary bells and whistles here!
Built without compromise
The beautiful all-metal casework was chosen not for its aesthetics, but because of the low-resonance properties and the excellent stable foundation for the electronics it offers. The brushed aluminium front panel is an object in simplicity and other than volume, power and source buttons, all you'll find are tone controls to help you optimise stereo imaging in your living room. And for the true audiophile touch, these can even be defeated using the Direct switch to ensure the shortest possible signal path.
Every single component has either been designed specifically for the 351A or chosen by our London-based design team for this amplifier. In particular, a very high quality ALPS black box film volume control has been specified for its superior sound quality and excellent channel balance which is really noticeable at low volumes. It's these little touches that help set the 351A apart from other amplifiers and ensure all your music sounds as good as it did when it left the studio.
