With a 500 Watt digital hybrid amp, hi-end CD player and Music Player, the latter of which is able to operate as a high quality pre-amp and incorporates a new, T+A developed CD mechanism and is fully capable of streaming data in audiophile quality from your storage device, Wi-Fi router, i-Pod etc and connecting wirelessly or via ethernet.

The 'E Series' has been designed as a no-compromise solution to the playback of multiple sources and retains a level of attention to detail and build quality that has become the trademark of this greatly respected brand.

CD PLAYER - E series - RRP £1499.00

The E-series CD player has been designed with the future solely in mind and with the overview of making a true thoroughbred CD player at a market-beating price.

In the True T+A tradition the E-series CD player employs the completely new high-end loader and disc mech. seen in the 1250R, The decoder is a completely new development also utilising the very latest processors, and its specifically designed to provide the most elevated quality CD reproduction.

Highly selected Burr Brown converters carry out the D/A conversion; these are also employed in the SACD 1250R, and are widely acknowledged as the best available. With its precision jitter free oscillator, high-quality audio output with two different, switchable bandwidths, the high-end performance mains selections ensure outstanding results in terms of true sound quality.

Specifications:
Compatible with: CD-R / CD / RW / CD text
Analogue Output : stereo 2,5 Veff / 22Ohm
DA converter : 24 bit / 352.8 kHz sigma delta
Frequency Response : 2Hz to 20kHz
Signal to noise ratio: >109dB
Weight: 8kg

MUSIC PLAYER - E series - RRP £1999.00

The Music Player is in essence a high-quality audiofile CD player that has been expanded to provide supplementary capabilities, with the result being that it can exploit other digital sources as a streaming client. For this purpose T+A has developed a network capable processor board that includes W-Lan, Lan, UPNP, USB and iPod interfaces.

This results in the Music Player being able to access anything that delivers music: internet radio, network music severs and USB media storage devices including iPod (plus iPod menu systems), again the D/A conversion is carried out with the same Burr Brown converters seen in the e-series CD player.

Frequency Response : 2Hz to 20kHz
Weight: 9kg

AMP - E series - RRP £1499.00

The AMP has been developed in the true traditions of the legendary T+A transistor and valve output stages, with the emphasis on optimum sound characteristics, neutrality and ultra-wide dynamic range. As you would expect, it features a two-stage volume control with ALPS precision potentiometer, which provides a high overload margin and wide signal: noise ratios.

The output stages are completely new, and represent a further development of the superb power amp used in the high-end TCI active loudspeakers. They take the form of a switch-mode output stages generating the output signal as a large number of very short positive and negative signals.

The new switch-board output stage is a unique T+A development equipped with the very latest, ultra fast MOSFET transistors and high power intelligent driver modules. The result is a highly controlled harmonious sound image, which never tends towards harshness, with well defined and control Bass making a product which hearing is believing.

Specifications:
Output per channel : 2x 125 Watts into 8 Ohm, 2x 200 Watts into 4 Ohm
Peak output : 2x 180 Watts intp 8Ohm, 2x 300 Watts into 4 Ohm
Frequency Response : (3dB): 1Hz to 100kHz
Inputs : 5x high-level 250mV / 20KOhm
