Samtliga ASR produkter tillverkas för hand i Tyskland och hela konstruktionen andas tysk toppkvalitet.
En titt under huven avslöjar komponenter av absolut högsta kvalitet.
Emitter
Denna förstärkare är en uppvisning i Tysk ingenjörsanda. Komponentvalet är av högsta kvalitet och det finns inga kompromisser. Nätdelarna är placerade i separata chassi och till förstegsdelen använder man alltid batteri som strömförsörjning. Designen kretsar kring korta signalvägar och en strikt princip att bevara signalen så ren som möjligt. Alla enheter tillverkas för hand i Tyskland under stor omsorg och kvalitetskontroll.
Basis
RIAA förstärkarna går under namnet Basis. Vid vinylavspelning är signalhanteringen ännu mer kritisk vilket gör ASR:s delikata komponent och materialval ännu mer av vikt. Att isolera bort störningar och vibrationer är en viktig del i kedjan och kanske därför glänser ASR så oerhört även här. Intrycken präglas av en särdeles stor makt i de låga frekvenserna och en synnerligen stabil ljudbild.
Utdrag från tester gjorda av några kända recensenter :
I recognize that this remarkable sounding and magnificently appointed amp is one of the finest I have ever heard and laid eyes on. It is therefore truly worthy of our Blue Moon Award. If you are wired differently than I and have ten grand burning a hole in your wallet, this could be your dream amp. I strongly recommend wrapping your ears around one if you are looking at amplification in this price range. Even if you cannot afford it, the ASR Emitter I will give you a glimpse of what’s possible. And I’ll wager that it seriously challenges more than a few separates at its price and perhaps higher. I can only imagine what wonders the upscale Emitters might offer…
I think this amplifier is revolutionary because, mostly, of the things it doesn’t do, and because of the see-into-andthrough transparency that results from its dramatically lowered noise floor (which allowed us to make similar reductions in much of the rest of the audio chain). It has other distinctive attributes, including a sense of “ease” on everything you can throw at it, and maybe to a degree I’ve never heard from any solid-state product before. It also packs a genuine wallop of those big bass notes that allows you to feel, for example, how tight the skin of a drum is. In other words, it has all the best attributes of the most serious state-ofthe- art amplifier contenders.
The ASR amp strikes me as the product of someone who has, throughout his life, given a great deal of thought to the playback of recorded music, and has consequently developed for himself an intense approach to listening.
The ASR Emitter II Exclusive is unlike any other audio product of my experience—and I’ve experienced a lot. I can’t recall a single other product designed and built with so much love—not for everyone, but for the relatively few listeners at whom it is aimed. It’s like the lover whom not everyone finds attractive, or compelling, or companionable—yet in the heart of that lover’s intended, no one else will do.
