Timekeeper It is a 75W per channel Class-AB power amp which can be bridged into 250W per channel in Mono-Block configuration. Measuring 265 x 250 x 80 mm the Timekeeper is the same size as the HA-160D & Conductor. The RRP of the Timekeeper will be 2200USD.

The Timekeeper is very important to us and it has taken us nearly 5 years to get it right. It is unique in the follow ways.

1. There is a growing community of desktop audiophiles. These people are looking for high-end equipment that are desktop size. And at this compacted size, no other amplifier can compete with the Timekeeper. To put this into prospective, all other power amps of this size are Class-D amps. Class-D amps were designed for the car audio and sound horrible . The only other properly designed amplifier of this size is the Korean Bakoon 11R and they could only achieve 15W per channel and priced at 7,000USD.

2. Usually, Mono-Block power amps only accept XLR (balanced) input. This means that if a customer want to upgrade to Mono-blocks then he much also change his DAC to one with XLR outputs and his Preamp to one with XLR input/outputs. As you can imagine, it could be an expensive exercise. Our Timekeeper however can accept both RCA and XLR input even when bridged. This means the customer can keep his beloved DAC and preamp when upgrading to Mono-Block with the Timekeeper. The Timekeeper is probably the first in the industry to achieve this function.

E io sbavo... per fortuna che 2200 dollari mi ci terranno lontano va.
A me la roba che fa paura è quella "affordable".

è un prodotto che mi ha stregato da subito anche per la doppia possibilità di usarlo per biamplificare in orizzontale o verticale oppure come due moonoblocchi per diffusori tosti

bello bello bello specie in coppia col Conductor

Eh si... Poi in un discorso di pulizia del segnale, con un cavo USB e un RCA colleghi convertitore,DAC,pre e finale... Con una sinergia garantita.
Veramente interessante.

se il conductor avesse anche le uscite bilanciate sarebbe ancora meglio

In effetti questa scelta non l'ho capita molto...   

nel conductor non vedo una struttura realmente bilanciata a cominciare dall'alimentazione quindi inserire delle uscite XLR sarebbe stata un pò una presa per il culo
