Overview
The Advance Paris X-i75 integrated amplifier delivers 2 x 75 watts of power and has numerous analog and digital audio inputs, including a Phono input and two USB inputs.
With an ultra-rigid chassis and a rational organization of its components, the Advance Paris X-i75 amplifier incorporates a generous power supply transformer coupled to high current capacity power transistors mounted in Push-Pull configuration. The nominal power announced reaches 2 x 75 watts into 8 ohms (2×110 W into 4 ohms), the X-i75 showing good dynamic qualities and being very responsive to transients. The music is lively and realistic, the reproduction of great finesse. This amplifier operates in class AB but can also deliver its first watts in pure class A. To do this, simply activate the High Bias mode using a specific switch located on the back of the device, switching in class AB s ‘performing automatically beyond the power threshold available in pure class A (about 15 watts).
In terms of connections, the Advance Paris X-i75 amplifier is a hit with no less than eight stereo audio inputs plus a phono input (MM), three digital audio inputs (one optical and two coaxial) as well as two USB ports.
