Ypsilon

Hyperion is a high power hybrid monoblock amplifier. It takes to the extreme the technologies we developed over the years in our amplifiers.

Hyperion combines high power output with no overall feedback and a simple and pure signal path of only two gain stages . It outputs more than 370W @ 8ohms & 1150W @ 2ohms.

The first gain stage uses a low impedance double triode coupled to the output stage with a wide bandwidth silver inter-stage transformer. Hyperion can accept the high transconductance 6H30 or 5687 types. Core performance of the amplifier is maintained with either type.

Its unique 'balanced-single-ended' output stage biased in Class A for 100W @ 8ohms achieves an unmatched blend of effortless drive and dynamics with the refinement and transparency of a pure single-ended design.

Hyperion's power supply is based on big size inductors for smooth filtering and multiple fast capacitors. The power supply transformer is built with high quality core material and winding techniques for ultra-low mechanical, magnetic and electrical noise.

All internal wiring is with our special silver wire with Teflon insulation. Sophisticated protection circuits ensure a reliable operation regardless of connected load. The silver input transformer provides a true balanced  input and in combination with two ground lift switches makes the amplifier easy to adapt in different grounding conditions.
