What's unique about the brand

Ars Sonum is a Spanish hifi brand that handcrafts a few hundred tube amplifiers per year, with output tubes matched to within 2% and custom-designed, hand-built output transformers. Their amplifiers use screen-grid regulation for E34L pentode output tubes and very low global negative feedback, making them particularly well-suited for vocal and orchestral music.
