TRIODE
SIGNATURE SERIES
JAPAN
"The sound of Triode amplifiers can be best described as smooth. Silky or velvety smooth. Also, here we are presented with something very, very personal and "human." Objectively, Yamazaki-san's amplifiers exhibit significant deviations from - an otherwise uninteresting -"neutrality"... They bring out inner pulses ... and emotional tension. What also stands out is a phenomenal resolution ... the sound is warm but extremely differentiating at the same time. When listening to any kind of music, the Triode gives us everything we need.
It pushes all the right buttons, and does it in the correct order. "

Triode Musashi KT150
KT150 Class-AB
2 x 100 Watts
Tetrode PP
... Triode Corporation, a Japanese company founded in 1994, manufactures top-of-the-range tube amplifiers.
One of its most prized products is the Musashi, a commemorative high-end tube amplifier designed to celebrate the brand's 25th anniversary.
The Musashi is also the first integrated amplifier designed by Triode with KT150 valves, a quartet of power valves capable of producing up to 100 Wpc over 8 ohms, guaranteeing the dynamic and powerful sound characteristic of this type of valve.
The power supply section supporting the large KT150 output tube is fitted with a high-capacity toroidal transformer and the rectifier uses a fast-response, low-loss SiC Schottky barrier diode, which, combined with the toroidal transformer, gives an efficient and powerful power supply with good response.
The sleek, well-finished chassis is made from stainless steel, which not only gives it an attractive chromatic sheen that won't go unnoticed, but also makes it extremely robust.
The top panels of the three large transformers are made of 8 mm thick aluminium to reduce transformer vibration and improve heat dissipation. On the front panel, a pointer meter monitors the output tube bias current, enabling the bias to be easily adjusted.
The set of connections is also very rich: on the rear panel, four sets of unbalanced RCA inputs are available for line-level sources, as well as an input for the moving magnet phono stage.
Finally, although the Musashi has been designed as an integrated amplifier, it can also be used as a power amplifier by switching a rear panel switch to MAIN IN. In this way, the input signal to the MAIN IN socket bypasses the input selector and volume control, being sent directly to the power amplifier circuit.

Triode EVO 88
KT88 Class-AB PP
2 x 40 Watts
Tetrode AB PP
... This KT88 tube amplifier is renowned for its transparency and speed, delivering exceptional sound quality.
The TRIODE EVOLUTION is capable of playing all musical genres with power and rhythm. The most demanding audiophiles even consider this amplifier to be a true Rock and Roll amplifier.
The Triode EVOLUTION integrated stereo tube amplifier is considered to be an advanced version of the "TRV-88SER". Its circuit is based on a push-pull configuration with KT88 tubes, guaranteeing an output power of 40W + 40W at 8 ohms.
This power is obtained thanks to a powerful power supply circuit using a large toroidal transformer and a Schottky SiC barrier diode. In this way, the amplifier can easily drive most loudspeakers.
While inheriting the bright, fun sound of its little brother, the Evolution achieves a much higher, easily perceptible level of reproduction quality. The scenic reconstruction is wider and the expressive character more relaxed and natural, giving the impression of a modern, high-quality sound.
For the first time from Triode, the Evolution adopts a high-quality electronic volume system, which minimizes signal path, improves crosstalk and left/right channel separation and enhances spatial expression.
Aesthetically, the Evolution is built to the brand's usual high quality standards, with meticulous attention to the smallest detail and to the premium MUSASHI specification. It boasts an elegant piano black finish.
A large display shows volume and input, adding to the aesthetic and functional appeal. The brightness of the display can be dimmed or switched off using the supplied remote control, which can also be used to switch the amplifier on / off.
When the machine is switched on, a 30-second countdown starts to allow the valves to stabilise and make the machine operational. The gauge and bias adjustment are conveniently located on top of the chassis.
Finally, the Evolution can also be used as a power amplifier by switching the switch on the rear panel.
