CV20-N Tube Amplifier-DAC
- Positioning: A compact entry-level tube amplifier-DAC designed for modest rooms and budget-minded users.
- Description: Integrates a tube amplifier circuit with built-in DAC and digital inputs in a lightweight design, offering an accessible introduction to tube warmth. In contrast to the higher-powered models, it delivers lower output and fewer connectivity features, making it ideal for small spaces and those prioritizing affordability over advanced functionality.
CT50-N Amplifier-DAC
- Positioning: A digitally oriented transistor amplifier-DAC aimed at users needing modern connectivity and versatile input options.
- Description: Features an integrated DAC with an embedded server and Bias Lock System for enhanced current stability and a detailed, balanced sound. Compared to the tube-based CV40 series and the entry-level CV20-N, it offers a broader range of digital functionality and connectivity.
CV40 Tube Amplifier
- Positioning: A classic high-quality tube amplifier that uses the traditional Circlotron design for precise dynamics and spatial imaging.
- Description: Uses a full tube push-pull architecture with EL34 tubes to achieve natural warmth and refined imaging that capture the essence of analog sound. When compared to the entry-level CV20-N and the refined CV40-EL84 variant, it stands as a proven, high-end solution.
CV40-EL84 Tube Amplifier
- Positioning: A premium refinement of the classic tube amplifier that optimizes tube selection and power regulation for enhanced tonal balance.
- Description: Uses a similar Circlotron layout as the CV40 but replaces EL34 tubes with EL84 tubes and includes regulated high-voltage supplies and automatic polarization, yielding improved tonal purity and ease of maintenance.

Our interview with the brand
What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?
In our amplifiers we choose to only use discrete component stages with low feedback where many other brands use mainly operational amplifiers that is for us the "tin can food" of electronic.
The other key point is the use of stages without feedback for the current-voltage conversion and for the impedance adaptation stages of our converters.
What's your approach to customer support?
We offer a all round support: We and our dealers answer to any customer question and we also offer a technical support to importers, dealers and final customers each time there is a request. We do most of the after sale in our factory in France and all our importer have also a technical centre we are in close relationship with.
What are your favorite tracks for showcasing the strength of your products?
We use many different tracks of acoustic music: in our short list we use great orchestra classical music, Jazz, rock and singing, From Gustav Mahler to Patricia Barber and from Dominique A to Bojan Z. But the most important is to live with the product, the way the emotion is transmitted is decisive.
What other products pair best with yours?
Speakers we love to pair with our device are: Atohm, Atlantis lab, Pro Ac, Diptyque Audio, Dynaudio, Dali, Sonus Faber, PE Leon, Martin Logan. But there is no restriction in the speakers brand, the only restriction is not to match speakers with very low impedance with amplifiers not adapted.
