TS-10 Integrated Amplifier  

  • Positioning: A compact integrated amplifier for entry-level audio setups.  
  • Description: Uses a dual-layer circuit design to keep power supply noise away from the amplification section, which helps deliver a clean sound for smaller spaces. Compared to the TS-30 and higher-end products, its lower wattage and simpler build make it suited for users with limited budgets and modest functionality needs.  

TS-30 Integrated Amplifier  

  • Positioning: A mid-range integrated amplifier offering a balance between size and performance.  
  • Description: Features high-quality circuits and an aluminum casing that reduces vibrations while enhancing sound clarity. Compared to the TS-10, it provides a step up in output and build quality.  

TS-5S300ABS Power Amplifier  

  • Positioning: A high-power amplifier designed for larger setups and more demanding audio use.  
  • Description: Delivers 300 watts per channel with a ventilated, aluminum design that supports stable operation under heavy load. In contrast to the integrated amplifiers, it offers significantly higher power and robust construction.  

TS-6SPRE01 Preamplifier  

  • Positioning: A specialized preamplifier aimed at precise audio clarity and control.  
  • Description: Uses a switching power supply, multiple filters, and fully balanced volume control to reduce noise and deliver a purer signal. Compared to the amplifiers, its focus is on refining the audio path for advanced sonic adjustments.
