What
is the ideal amplifier? Easy: it is one able to perform the
task that justifies its existence: to render the source signal
capable of driving the speakers. In other words, the ideal
amplifier is no more than a “Straight wire with gain,”
a dream that has disturbed the sleep of acoustic engineers
as much as the “Philosopher’s stone” troubled
the alchemists.
The
first appearance of Pathos on the hi-fi scene did not go unnoticed:
a short time after its debut, the T.T. has achieved a solid
position in the history of high-fidelity. International audio
reviews welcomed the first product from Pathos with highly
enthusiastic comments and numerous prestigious awards.

When
listening to music reproduced through a T.T. amplifier,
you will experience an overwhelming difference in terms
of musicality, transparency, tonal color and absence
of listening fatigue. The reason: INPOL®, Pathos’
exclusive worldwide patented pure Class A feedback-free
circuitry.
The T.T. has achieved a level of respect across the
globe for its originality of industrial design, uniqueness
in circuit topology, and sincerity in sonic reproduction.
Simply put, the T.T. exists for those who believe music
is food for the soul. |

The
InPower monoblock power amplifiers represent the evolution
of INPOL® circuitry that originated with the T.T.
integrated amplifier. The purpose of the InPower project
was to design an amplifier able to drive all loudspeakers.
even in spacious listening environments. All this
with the same state-of-the-art sound quality of the
T.T.
The InPower reproduces sound which is exquisitely
“tube” in terms of musicality, warmth
and transparency, with the speed and dynamics typical
of the most respected solid stale amplifiers.
As
is custom with Pathos, all components are care fully
selected, the signal wiring is Pathos pure silver
cable, materials and craftsmanship are of the highest
level and the industrial design is equal to the sonic
performance.
In
essence, the InPower introduces to the world a truly
unique weaving of power and passion.

INPOL2 |
|
INPOL2
is the latest creation from Pathos, so-called because
in the design Pathos presents the 2nd generation of
their proprietary INPOL® technology. It is also
a completely balanced dual-mono configuration —
easily recognized by the styling. The INPOL2 is a unique
amplifier in many aspects and its sound quality will
simply astound.
The INPOL2 is constructed as a hybrid with CLASS A amplification
(45watt) and an impressively wide bandwidth in a feedback-free
layout. The preamplifier is entirely tube-based, balanced
and optimized for feeding the mosfet output stage to
maximum effect. Tubes are still the best components
for amplifying the signal voltage, in order to preserve
the harmonic integrity of the input signal. |

The
Logos is a two-in-one machine that combines pre- and
power amplification stages in a common chassis. The
circuit has been laid-out in a feedback-free ‘natural’
way according to the fundamental principles of the
Pathos philosophy. The pre-amplification stage is
entirely tube-based, balanced, operates in pure class
A and is powered by a dedicated stabilized power supply.
The digital 100-step volume control system is 100%
resistive thanks to an integrated network of high
precision, laser-trimmed resistors that guarantee
perfect interchannel balance. The input selector is
operated through high-tech miniaturized relays, originally
developed for very high frequency telecommunication
applications.

| The
output stage is true dual-mono and outfitted with oversized
transformers and power supplies to deliver high current
into even demanding loads. This stage ensures great
energy for superior dynamics and punch, without affecting
the warmth, naturalness and musicality provided by the
tube stage.

Classic One mkIII |
|
The
Classic One was created to embody, in a more affordable
amplifier, all the know-how and expertise acquired developing
reference products. Classic One represents a new standard
in its price category: in a single chassis, a preamplifier
and power amplifier, completely separated from each
other and provided with their own individual power supplies
provide an astonishing level of sound quality,
The
preamplifier is purely tube, balanced, pure Class A,
extremely low noise, with high intrinsic linearity and
without any feedback. It provides an exquisitely tube
sound in terms of transparency, air, harmonics and refinement.
In a word, musicality.
|
|
|
The
solid state power amplifier stage features high bias current,
Class A/AB, easily able to drive any load. It provides speed
and dynamics, without influencing the (tube) nature of the
sound. The volume control is motorized and remote controlled.
The remote itself is of solid wood. Power supplies are over-dimensioned
and stabilised. Selected components, pure silver Pathos signal
cable wiring, gold plated terminals, high quality materials,
and refinement at its highest standard are additional benefits
provided with the Classic One.
Together
with such sound performance and overall quality, the Classic
One is offered at a price that clearly demonstrates a philosophy
of value for money. This is all possible thanks to an aimed
design approach coupled with extremely accurate engineering
and superior aesthetic form. |
