Hermes amplifier is an Integrated amplifier with 3 inputs.
It’s design is a double push-pull configuration implementing 4 EL84 power tubes per channel in class AB1 operation self-biasing and dual-mono power supply.
All electronic components are through hole type soldered by hand.
Hermes uses the EL84 tube which is widely acknowledged for its full and high quality sound. Arranged in a double push-pull configuration to obtain enough power to drive a wide range of loudspeakers. The self biasing circuit is a nice convenience for the user.
Gold plated RCA connectors are implemented for the signal inputs/output and high quality binding posts for the loudspeakers. For the volume control the classic blue Alps is used.
An elegant remote control in aluminum case offers you control over all the functions of Hermes integrated amplifier. Volume control, input selection and mute.
Carefully selected values and types of the electronic components contribute to the reliable circuits operation and the high sound quality of the amplifier. The meticulous PCB design ensures excellent behavior in SNR, distortion and channel separation.
Inner signal wiring with high quality shielded signal cable. Power wiring uses high quality copper cables of more-than-needed AWG gauge, to achieve low impedance power transfer. All power cables are twisted in pairs to minimize the electromagnetic interference.
