Synthesis have over 30 years experience making valve audio equipment. The current range includes a selection of integrated valve amplifiers, valve pre/power amplifiers and other models. Whatever your needs they have a model that will take your system to the next level, combining warm sound with modern Italian design.

The synthesis ethos is no compromise sound, as well as built quality. For example they make their own output transformers using only the best possible materials. The iron core is high grade as is the copper wire. Nowadays copper wire is produced that has a much higher purity and lower resistance than in the past. As a result modern transformers outperform those that were once prevalent. Moreover, other components are much better performing. Metal film resistors are more accurate in value and lower in noise. Additionally, polypropylene capacitors will not short or go leaky.

Hi gain circuits need careful design as does the power supply. Synthesis use oversized transformers that are mounted well away from the signal circuits. They are also very well regulated. For example the heaters are fed from a DC supply to prevent any hum or noise being injected into the valves. The signal paths on the PCB’s are also kept as short as possible. Some of the amplifiers also have balanced inputs and outputs to further reduce noise pickup. Finally, usability is good with some units having a remote control. Take you audio to another level with Synthesis.

Some Synthesis amps are pure analogue devices while other have built in DACs. There are also amplifiers with built in phono preamps for vinyl lovers. A step us is a preamp / mono block amplifier combination and synthesis have this option available. Power outputs range from 25W to 80W. There are also stand alone phono preamps as well as DAC’s and CD players with valve output stages.
