Description :
The Audio Note Meishu is the largest of the enclosed integrated amplifiers from Audio Note. It is a combination of Audio Note’s M-2 preamp and P-3 single-ended triode power amplifier. Fully tube-rectified and choke regulated and even featuring separate mains transformers for preamp and power amp sections. In application, there is no other 300B integrated amplifier that people know of that is so ‘complete’ and sophisticated. "Meishu" stands for master craftsman. The amplifier has a Single Ended 300B Triode output stage, Pure Class A operation and Zero Negative Feedback. Audio Note insists on the benefits of single-ended technology because of the preservation of the "whole" audio signal as opposed to Push-Pull technology which demands that another signal be created in a perfect mirror image to that of the original signal waveform, which to some compromises sound quality in the process. The Audio Note Meishu provides an exquisitely pleasing sonic experience that effortlessly combines poise, power and detail. Capable of a tremendous sonic presentation that is engaging, fast and indeed accurate but also and perhaps more importantly, musical. The Meishu can scale in a dramatic and powerful way, it has the roar of a lion and the stealth of a leopard. It embodies completely the passion and drama of the music played through it. Listening becomes an emotional experience, it creates a highly tangible 'presence' of music within the room. The sonic qualities are rich, dynamic and silky - it is an amplifier that makes the listener smile with delight.
