Leema Acoustics provides Neutron preamp and Graviton energy amp to Quantum vary

Leema Acoustics has launched two new merchandise in its Quantum vary: the Neutron preamp and Graviton energy amp. The first all-new Leema Acoustics vary in over a decade, the Quantum equipment has been fully designed, engineered and constructed within the firm’s Welshpool manufacturing unit in Powys, Wales, overseen by co-founder and ex-BBC sound engineer, Lee Taylor.

Borrowing closely from the corporate’s flagship Constellation collection and repackaged as a way to enhance affordability, the amps show less complicated casework whereas single transformers change multi-transformers, and the board meeting has been simplified with what Leema claims is not any lack of element high quality.

The Neutron DAC/preamp affords a high-quality switchable MM/MC phono stage, primarily based on Leema Acoustics’ proprietary design. The preamp additionally advantages from a complicated asynchronous ESS 24-bit/192kHz USB DAC, a devoted headphone amplifier, plus a high-end Burr-Brown analogue quantity management.

Highly versatile, with wide-ranging connectivity, the Neutron consists of 13 inputs: 4 RCA and one XLR; one MM/MC phono stage; three optical; three coaxial and one USB. Outputs embody: fixed-level file; two devoted subwoofers; a devoted headphone amplifier, plus 12V set off.

The Graviton stereo energy amp advantages from what the corporate claims: “might be the largest toroidal energy provide ever seen at its value level!” A Class A/B design, providing a claimed 150W per channel into 8ohm and 260W into 4, the Graviton’s high-current topology deploys six output transistors per channel.

The Graviton has an over-specified single transformer provide and 6 matched Toshiba output transistors per channel, “permitting excessive instantaneous present supply for superior transient functionality and long-term reliability.” Dual speaker binding posts are included for bi-wiring, plus line-level loop-through outputs for bi-amping.

All Quantum-range units are designed in UK-made casework accessible in brushed black or silver finishes, with stable aluminium precision-machined entrance panels and management dials. The Neutron is priced at £1,500, the Graviton can be £1,500, and purchased collectively the bundle is £2,800.
