KECES Audio anounces their pimped-out S300 Power Amp!
Taiwanese manufacturer KECES Audio just announced their newest and their most advanced power amplifier yet: the mighty S300!
It follows the same foot steps of the S125 power amplifier, but everything was dialed up to eleven. Its internal toroidal transformer increased its size to 1200 V, internal capacitance was tremendously increased as well, more exactly to 65.000 μF by using high-quality Rubycon filter caps – these are the same folks that created the famous Black Gate capacitors. Peak Current was increased to 45 Amperes (that is 50% higher compared to S125). One of the nicest things is that the damping factor increased staggeringly to 1500 somewhere between 20 Hz and 1 kHz so a really punchy and extremely controlled bass performance. It will be still offering few Watts of power in Class-A for a warm believable sound and then will be moving to Class-AB for a better thermal stability.
Full feature list as follows:
- 2 OZ Copper PCB for Power Layer, Ground Layer and Signal Layer to get high damping factor and get more sound quality.
- 130 watts x2 @ 8 ohm continuous output power, Maximum output power 240 watts x2 @ 8 ohm
