ORDINARY POWER IN – PERFECT POWER OUT
By using Chimera, your High-End system will become more resolvent than before. Chimera will lead your system to achieve quality levels that you never thought possible without the change of an actual component.
Chimera is more than a power conditioner. Its architecture, with independent plugs, offers a superior filter performance, avoids cross contamination between plugged components, and adjusts the PFC to match the exact needs of each individual component.
THE BEST SPECS YOU CAN ACHIEVE
Shortest current path in the world (less than 1 inch between the last filter stage and the output power socket): reduces the losses in the current transmission and the chances of new noise absorption.
Made 100% with passive components: lossless by design (preserves the musical quality of the original record)
Noise reduction greater than 52db: deep silence, better definition of each musical instrument, and music fluidity.
Path resistance barely measurable (18 mΩ): preserves all the instruments’ original tone, and the system seems effortless.
Internal architecture designed to handle 235A peak: improves current availability and therefore guarantees a deeper and wider soundstage, as well as faster dynamics, even for the most power hungry components.
Non-magnetic enclosure with anti-vibration treatment and isolation spikes: tightened bass and more accurate high frequencies, providing better instruments’ placement.
