Presentert av ION Systems på midten av 1980-tallet, utløste Richard Hay’s opprinnelige forsterker konsept sjokk hos intetanende Hi-Fi og musikkelskere. Obelisk Si var noe friskt og annerledes.
Tre tiår senere, har denne legendariske skoeske store integrert forsterkeren gjenoppstått og oppdatert, både den ytre estetikk og de interne komponenter. Enda viktigere var imidlertid, den krevende oppgaven med å bevare den klassiske Obelisk tilstedeværelse og smittende musikalitet, samtidig som den tilbyr enda større åpenhet, detaljrikdom og slående dynamikk.
Obelisken Si har blitt en av de forsterkerene du må låne øret til. Forsterker kretsen er AC-koblet! Resultatet er en integrert forsterker med enestående tekniske egenskaper!
Obelisk Si har fem linjeinnganger, fjernstyrt volumkontroll, en solid strømforsyning (som kan være ytterligere forsterket med Heed X-2 ekstra enhet), og evnen til å akseptere enten valgfri phono eller DAC moduler.
Transcap Technology:
When you own a Heed amplifier you meet technology that you most probably have never seen in action before. Like the almost forgotten (and then reincarnated) valve technology, the output capacitor transistor amplifiers can normally only be found in the deepest recesses of engineers drawers. The technical difficulties of RC-Coupling means almost 100% of todays manufacturers opt for the easier direct-coupled solutions instead. With great effort and countless development hours there is a way to employ an up to date and sonically better sounding RC-Coupled amplifier. We have chosen this way.
Like the belt of a great turntable or the output transformer of a valve amplifier, the output capacitor makes for a great decoupling between the amp and the speaker. But the main advantage is the fact that a capacitor is an energy storage device. By design, this capacitor connects directly onto the speaker, with no in-between elements. Power delivery becomes rapid and precise. To charge this power element, we use a push-pull complementary Darlington transistor drive stage.
This power transforming system needs to be perfectly balanced. The heart of our Transcap technology lies in the precise adjustment of all the charge transmitting and current delivery channels. This propels all the common amplifier components; mains transformer, power supply, voltage and power amplifier stages, into something radically different. You may see now, this is no ordinary amp and it cannot be measured by common standards. Using our methods the sound becomes thick, warm, yet clear and life-like, as it properly translates the electronic signal into the acoustic world.
