from an audio system. This goal began with the discovery of the inherent sonic qualities
and musical performance potential of a nearly forgotten technology, the single-ended
triode amplifier. The ability of this type of amplifier to recreate the musical experience and
evoke a powerful emotional response in the listener, much like the live event, inspired the
development of the Orfeo line of amplifiers through the ultimate expression of this
technology. The Orfeo amplifier was developed to be used as both a cornerstone for a
modern audio system and as a reference tool to explore the reasons behind the single-
ended triode amplifier's uniquely musical attributes.

inherent musical qualities of the reference amplifier. They are conceived from a marriage
of some of the oldest audio technologies developed by Bell Labs and Western Electric in
the early part of the century and the latest technologies, including materials technologies in
the active and passive components, digital audio technologies and active device

ended triode could alone.
designed to present very high value in its range and retain this value for many years, both
because of the quality of design and manufacturing and also the timelessness of each
component's musical performance.
