AP-505-S Stereo Power Amplifier:

The AP-505 is a versatile, TEAC-tuned stereo power amplifier that uses Hypex Ncore technology wrapped in a compact and elegant cabinet. Its lightweight aluminum alloy panels cover a robust steel chassis. Large level indicators add an interesting visual effect, while TEAC's patented 'pin-point' feet placed strategically underneath sharpen the sound and create a more detailed and stable stereo image. The AP-505 features high-performance, energy-efficient Hypex Ncore power amplifier module, producing 130W + 130W in stereo/bi-amp modes or 250W in BTL mode, driven by an array of speakers to reproduce the dynamic nuances of real music. The fully balanced circuit design ensures low distortion and excellent signal-to-noise ratio, while carefully selected components and a high-capacity toroidal transformer ensure clear soundstage separation and stable power supply. The AP-505's passive cooling design ensures quiet operation, while the dual analogue level indicators provide visual feedback on the amplifier's performance.
