WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OLD INNERSOUND ESL AMP AND THE NEW SANDERS ESL AMP?
The chassis is now aluminum.
·
·
All chassis parts are thicker to eliminate resonances.
·
XLR connectors are genuine Neutrik. They use professional metal sockets with locking devices.
·
RCA connectors are Cardas with Rhodium plating.
·
The power transformer is larger and more powerful. This has increased the amplifier's power from 300 watts to 360 watts/channel.
·
The power transformer is now fully shielded in an aluminum cylinder and potted in epoxy.
·
A new power supply circuit board is more compact and all wire has been eliminated (except for a 2" piece connecting the circuit board to the speaker binding post).
·
The amplifier is now completely modular in construction.
·
The face plate is "cleaner" and less cluttered.
·
The low-level, input amplifier circuitry has been redesigned to use the latest and best transistors.
·
The bias circuitry has been upgraded to provide more stable operation.
·
More powerful and linear output transistors are used to handle even more power and reduce distortion.
·
The new circuitry and transistors has resulted in the distortion being dramatically reduced by over a magnitude (from .08% to .001%).
·
The new circuitry and transistors allow the use of less bias so that the amplifier runs even cooler than the original amp.
·
The speaker binding posts are placed at 45 degrees for ease of routing stiff speaker cables.
