Amplifiers need not be expensive for the basics of good, linear design to be standard. Vioelectric's HPA V222 channels the essence of the brand's best technology.

The Germans give you a discrete, highly linear open-loop design capable of pushing 7 watts. With a huge op-amp-killing operating voltage and 16 output transistors capable of handling current and producing bandwidth monolithic IC designs wouldn't, V222 bears the hallmarks of the Niimbus series and other Vioelectric flagships.

Massive bandwidth and effortless sound – no doubt helped by its low open-loop gain without massive amounts of negative feedback to close it down – allows V222 to show its class and achieve 131dB of claimed dynamic range. Its suitability as a steed for the likes of Focal's Utopia cannot be understated, achieving close to its maximum power output into this French flagship.

V222's adequacy as a voltage source with high damping factor and low output impedance combines with its silent background to yield all the resolution your Utopia can deliver. [See Product Desc. For More]

Product Description

No matter where your volume control or pre-gain settings are, a huge operating voltage always ensures you have more than sufficient headroom to drive headphones many times the cost of V222.

16 output transistors certainly enjoy being run in the most linear regions of their transfer curve, already achieving low noise and distortion in the open-loop before the application of negative feedback.

The direct-coupled V222 promises frequency extension that is virtually flat near DC to 250Khz, meaning phase response in the human hearing range is stellar. Achieving this without the gain bandwidth stability problems of op-amps is already a big plus.

High frequency spatial cues spring to life freed from the chains of excessive negative feedback, reproducing Vioelectric's effortless soundstage, again aided by a massive 50 volt operating voltage.

High damping factor is also always a given in a Vioelectric, controlling the increasingly low-impedance flagship cans of today and tomorrow with more relevant authority than before.

Having the power reserves and voltage headroom of V222 will serve you ably now and in the future. Vioelectric's output transistors are able to handle current and transfer raw power into your headphones.

This Vioelectric drives common loads and beyond, from IEMs on the right pre-gain setting. While capable of producing power into tough loads, V222's sweet spot lies with the slightly higher impedances of Final Audios, Focals and ZMF Headphones.

Take this classic German powerhouse as far as you want it, knowing its Lake Constance build under the watchful eyes of Fried Reim has stood the test of time ... and will continue to do so as an ever-present in Head-Fi.
