MASTERSOUND
CLASS-A DHT TRIODE TUBE AMPLIFIERS
"Our philosophy is simple:
we want to produce amplifiers which arouse emotions in the listeners,
every piece of music should arouse exactly the emotions the artist who composed it
and the performer who played wanted to convey.
The listeners should feel immersed in the music, absorbed
in the execution of the piece enjoying the details of the voices and of the instruments
in the most natural way, feeling emotions…"
HAND MADE - PRODUCT OF ITALY
... the critical difference
The MastersounD Output Transformer
One of the most important components in creating a good tube amplifier is the output transformer.
At MastersounD output transformers are wrapped one at a time by hand on a mechanical winding machine, based on the experience, passion and the research of Mr. Cesare Sanavio.
He then transmitted such knowledge to his son Mr. Luciano Sanavio who succeeded in the great challenge of further innovating it in a surprising way. and introducing an innovative and unique construction technique that makes MastersounD output transformer unique in the world.
This precious tradition is the cornerstone of the outstanding quality of our amplifiers, which offer an exceptional performance thanks to their special output transformers. Great dynamics, power and harmonic richness, are the characteristics that a class A tube amplifier can and must have without the classic limitations imposed by traditional output transformers.
Because of this MastersounD, it keeps its secret very carefully.

What they say ...
... The midrange is exceptional - it will captivate most listeners. This amplifier is characterized by an immediacy, a closeness and an intimacy in the reproduction of voices - and the wealth of sound possibilities and shades that it reveals (especially with acoustic instruments) is simply amazing.. The treble is of the same caliber. Soft, detailed and silky. Percussion can induce deep bliss.
Its "musical flow" is filled with life, creating an incredibly strong sense of presence in the musical performance by very precisely. "tracking the tone" -- the timing of the attack and decay of the instruments. Nothing is "washed out" here, and nothing threatens the music of "falling apart"... this is a very difficult balancing act in my opinion – one which MastersounD masters with flying colors ...

What they say ...
... The powerful Mastersound Compact 845 removes the requisite for high-efficiency speakers and bucks the ‘pipe and slippers’ SET stereotype by balancing seductive, tubey lushness with ballsy, dynamic punch. Benign loads are required only if you want an uncoloured frequency response, much of the pleasure from this amp comes from matching it with speakers to achieve synergies that simply aren’t possible with other tube topologies.
The Compact 845’s gorgeously rounded tone and dramatic scale presents the energy and emotion in musical performances with a sincerity that’s soul-stirring ...
