The Amp Ultimate MK108 Next generation integrated Einstein, October 26, 2024

EINSTEIN’s integrated amplifier, “The Amp Ultimate,” is a hybrid amplifier utilizing a complex Circlotron circuit similar to the OTL concept. This results in a perfectly balanced design with the shortest signal path. Each channel operates independently (double mono), ensuring the highest dynamic range and channel separation.



With a signal-to-noise ratio of over 100dB, even with high-sensitive horn speakers, you‘ll experience no noise – “The Amp Ultimate” is exceptionally quiet. This contributes to its pure sound quality, with exquisite details, a wide three-dimensional soundstage, precise bass control, and outstanding vocal reproduction.

The legacy of “THE AMP”

In 1988, EINSTEIN developed their first amplifier using transistor technology, called “The Amp”, which has since become a legend. This integrated amplifier set new standards in sound quality and technology and was praised by HiFi journalists worldwide. In 2012, we decided to continue this story and take it one step further.

THE IDEA OF TOTAL SILENCE

During the development of “The Amp Ultimate”, our clear objective was to create the best possible integrated amplifier – one that would surpass even our previous preamp/power amp combo, “The Tube” and “The Light in the Dark”, in terms of sound quality. It took numerous comparative listening sessions and technical modifications to achieve our goal, but the end result is remarkable. Compared to our pre/power amp combination, “The Amp Ultimate” boasts even better bass control and a stunningly realistic vocal range. “The Amp Ultimate” operates with more ease and confidence – we have reached our high goal and created a new integrated amplifier that, like “The Amp” from 1988, has the potential to become a new legend and can only be named: “The Amp Ultimate”.
