Description: From the designers of the Cello and the Mark Levinson amps ; a rare opportunity to acquire what is considered a reference piece of high-end audio. In Absolute Sound, Robert Harley stated “The Viola Audio Laboratories Crescendo and Concerto are simply stunning musically, and among the best electronics I’ve heard. The transparency, the sense they convey of nothing coming between you and the music, their sensational treble resolution without a touch of the analytical, their wide dynamic expression, and their absolutely sensational bass vault the Viola electronics to world- class status.” The Viola Crescendo was awarded the 2015 Absolute Sound Editors’ Choice Award. The OPA-1 module used in the Crescendo preamplifier is a Class A discrete operational amplifier. The first stage uses a low noise FET input. This is followed by a differential voltage gain section. The output follower is a high current, low impedance voltage output that is capable of driving the most demanding load. This results in a very open, fast and transparent soundstage.It integrates a beautifully implemented DAC (Burr Brown 1796) The remote control comes into a Apple ipod (included) In mint condition; it was tested and condition is validated by a technician. This item looks like new from just a few feet away. You'll have to examine very closely to find any signs of wear. Operating Voltage : 100V-240V 50/60Hz.
