Alchemy is the integrated amplifier according to Audiozen: input stage equipped with tubes, high current transistors in the power section and, like every Audiozen Reference Line product, a separate Power Supply Unit.
Alchemy is one of the few.
One of the few with a pair of NOS matched tubes in the preamplifier section.
One of the few with the preamplifier section phisically and electrically separated from the power amplifier circuitry.
One of the few with separated power supply sections, equipped with oversized toroidal transformers.
One of the few with a separate Power Supply Unit.
One of the few with the stand-by circuit that keeps tubes in pre-heating mode, and, by turning to "On" the knob located in the front panel, the professional relay, located in the separate PSU, will turn on the power amplifier.
One of the few equipped with binding posts that accept banana plugs, spades lugs and bare wire.
In the Alchemy the volume control is handled by a fine motorized ALPS potentiometer; connected to a remote control circuit.
The remote control is produced by Doro, Swedish multinational company leader in technological accessories.
Only fine ClarityCap polypropylene capacitors are used for better decoupling the audio signal.
