Sonic Excellence: A Heartbeat in Every Note

The EVO 400’s hallmark AC Offset Killer drastically minimises transformer noise, unveiling a cavernous soundstage that pulsates with lifelike energy. Coupled with premium Mundorf MCap EVO SilverGold capacitors in the signal path and Takman resistors, you’ll savour tonal accuracy from 18 Hz right up to 38 kHz (±1 dB). The result is a vivid presentation that teases out micro-detail and musical texture as though you’re sat centre-stage with the artist.

Neo-Vintage Build Meets Modern Innovation

Every element of the EVO 400 is meticulously crafted. Twin custom-wound toroidal transformers dramatically reduce electromagnetic interference, while the Japanese Alps Blue Velvet potentiometer ensures pristine, chip-free volume control.

Tube rectification and our SmartGain system further guarantee a whisper-quiet backdrop, allowing the music to breathe in perfect tranquillity.
