High-end Hi-Fi music means live-performance realism perfected!

The tonal ease of an excellent tube amplifier, combined with the power, dynamics, precision, neutrality, and fine resolution of an outstanding solid-state amplifier:

Only the Emitter can deliver this!

ASR Emitter 2 Basic
True music connoisseurs and uncompromising audiophiles regard the Emitter 2 models as the pinnacle of amplifier design. Driven almost entirely by word-of-mouth, a steadily growing, music-obsessed fanbase has developed worldwide—enthusiasts who have realized their dream of bringing the concert hall experience into their own homes.

Powered by two separate power supply units, it drives even the most demanding loudspeakers and elaborately constructed dynamic transducers to peak sonic performance. With the Emitter 2 Basic, music unfolds across its full dynamic range.

From the sound of a breath or the faintest rustle on stage to the full power of an orchestra, the Emitter 2 Basic delivers every nuance into your listening room—neutral, powerful, energetic, high-resolution, and unadulterated.

Playback and spatial imaging remain absolutely stable, even at peak levels and concert-like volumes.

Those who prefer lower listening volumes also rave about the palpable, highly pleasing energy of the sound—turning music into a relaxing and deeply satisfying experience, even at low levels.

ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive
The Emitter 2 Exclusive features even more sophisticated technical specifications and higher power output; in terms of construction, it ranks among the most elaborate high-end amplifiers on the global market. When the Emitter 2 Exclusive is unleashed for listeners—whether during private auditions or at our popular “Emitter Day” events—it is not uncommon for tears to roll when playing a favorite piece of music. Many awestruck visitors have ordered the Emitter experience immediately—or taken some time to let it all sink in—before ultimately deciding on an “Exclusive” Emitter after a few weeks and several amplifier comparisons.

ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive + Battery Power Supply
With the addition of the battery power supply for the Emitter 2 Exclusive—providing a separate, clean power source for the input amplifier stage—we have managed to surpass even the best. When paired with high-quality speakers and source components, you will experience a soundstage of immense three-dimensionality—a level of depth and realism you have likely never encountered before.

Roy Gregory from Gy8 has just published 2 tests about the Diptyque Reference and Kora CSA-1200 Class A amplifiers.

Finally, two press articles worthy of these two superb “made in France” creations. We invite you to read them, they will surely make you want to come and listen to them.

Neodio, the products of 20 years of research into High-Fidelity.

Neodio, the awards winning electronics, cables and accessories…

We are very pleased to present the Neodio products … you are welcome to listen to this unique creations in our show room.

Neodio TMA, the minimalist amplifier.

Progress can have different faces. On the one hand, there is triumphant technology, with products that are increasingly complex and constantly being upgraded and replaced. On the other, there is a more rational form of consumption, that is mindful of natural resources and sustainability.

The TMA integrated amplifier is the first electronic product in our Blue Program. In line with my personal values, I’m now offering products that are still very high-end, but that are more affordable and even more long-lasting.

In developing the TMA, every effort has been made to ensure that the product has the maximum possible life span. It comes with a 10-year guarantee to the first owner, and I’ve designed it to be easy to repair and, if necessary, upgraded in the future. The TMA is a product designed to stand the test of time.

To achieve this, I simplified everything that could be simplified and went back to the essence of what an amplifier should be: a machine that is faithful to the music and capable of satisfying its owner for many years. It has no remote control or display. Just a switch, a source selector and a volume control. This minimalist approach allows us to focus on design quality, build quality and sound performance…

The new Mono Classe A amplifiers, the new Reference …

You are welcome to listen to the Kora Mono Classe A amplifiers in our show room.

The high fidelity innovative company.

A new way of assembling the electronic tubes to amplify an audio signal.

Square Tube

Square Tube is a new, unique and innovative way to assemble the vacuum tubes to get rid of their limits.

This trademarked amplification schematic opens new technical perspective, but more important, gives striking and surprising results. The tubes not only provide their well know smoothness, but also an extreme precision in micro details. The voices (acapella) are expressed with unreached natural, without any halo or reverb effects. The instruments are perfectly focused (and can be spatially tracked) with an unusual stability. The dynamic reveals the most subtle percussions, with unexpected and unmatched energy! Not “tube” nor transistor, come try the Kora sound!

Musical Fidelity A1, the return of a legend …

We are glad to present to the music lovers, the Musical Fidelity A1 integrated ampliifer!

In Hi-Fi, the Musical Fidelity A1 has become one of the most classic designs – inside and out. First released back in 1985, it quickly made waves for being an absolute beast when it came down to driving some of the most difficult speakers of that time, even though it was actually a rather low powered integrated amplifier. But: it was all done in pure Class A with excellent and expertly laid out discrete symmetrical circuitry topology and using only highest quality components. The A1 showed people that there was more to amplifiers than just high power.

Kora TB140 review.

Kora TB140 review in hifi-advice.com…

Kora received a new Award for the Kora TB140 in the HiFi Advice blog…

Christiaan Punter’s conclusion:

The Kora TB140 is one of those rare products that truly surprise and I absolutely love it when that happens. It sounds nothing like a stereotypical tube amplifier because it has none of the added warmth, thickness, slowness, or blur that often come along with such designs. But neither does it sound like a traditional transistor amplifier because it has none of the typical solid-state edge or hardness. It strikes a careful balance between tightness, control, linearity, and expression on the one hand, and refinement, fluidity, and air on the other. Meanwhile, the amp has SET-like purity, quite bizarrely combined with amazing bass control, while driving any speaker, even Magico Q5’s. If one prizes neutrality as highly as I do and one does not mind an all-veils-removed, window-wide-open, perhaps slightly analytical presentation, then the Kora TB140 comes highly recommended. But above all, at its price level, I know of no better amplifier, certainly not one that drives every speaker on the market.
