SLT Tech 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 ASGARD SINGLE ENDED CLASS A FET HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER ZERO FEEDBACK | SINGLE VOLTAGE GAIN STAGE Asgard is a fully discrete, Class A, single-ended FET headphone amplifier with no overall feedback and a non-inverting circuit topology. Its high-current design makes it uniquely suitable for low-impedance headphones. Now, if you’re an engineer, the preceding paragraph probably means something to you. For everyone else, let’s simplify it: Asgard will sound friggin tremendous on virtually any headphone you throw at it, from US$39 cheapies to those US$1400 monsters you’ve been wanting to try. Asgard will even drive them to ear-imploding levels, if that’s what you’re into. And Asgard will do this for years and years, with no maintenance or tube replacements. 5-Year Warranty Asgard is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for five years. That’s 5 years. Yes. FIVE. Compare that to the competition.
