Sparkos Labs SS78 & SS79 Discrete Voltage Regulators
The Sparkos Labs SS78 and SS79 Discrete Voltage regulators bring many advantages compared with standard monolithic designs where large capacitors for heavy filtering on the internal voltage can not be implemented. The fully discrete erorr amplifier on the device gives the ability for amazingly high input rejection and unique compensation techniques that are not possible to implement with regular monolithic IC error amplifiers.

Sonic Imagery 994ENH-TICHA Dual Discrete Op Amp
Listening impression and sound characteristics
The Sonic Imagery 994Enh-Ticha is a dual high performance discrete operational amplifier designed for professional audio applications and areas where ultra-low noise, low distortion and highly linear uncoloured performance is required. It is a perfect choice if you have the professional need to analyse music or just like to explore the finer details. It will enable you to hear things like “oh the engineer eq’ed the piano too much or he over compressed the vocals” because they are very linear and analytical. It will make it possible to hear all the flaws in the mixes in a second.
“I had a pleasant surprise this evening. I had the visit of Johnny Cash and June Carter at my place and they performed an outstanding live performance. My all body was shaking and thrilled by the flow or their amazing voices and the rhythm of Johnny’s guitar.
This amazing experience was possible thanks to my customized NC800SL I just received this morning. It feels like a quality product. It looks and sounds great. And it should further improve after few more days of listening.
The Apollon Team did a great job. The custom 8 connectors are perfect to bi-wire my B&W CM10. I was looking for the best value for money amplifier based on the Hypex NCore.
I have to go. More guests are coming. The Folsom prison is inviting itself to my place. ”
“I’ve had the amp for about a week and a half now and I’m enjoying it quite a bit. It’s opening up nicely and the depth and detail are excellent. I’ve had to adjust my subs (dual Rythmik F15s) down a bit because, I believe, my Tylers are now being driven more to their potential. Excited to hear if things open up even more.
Very happy so far with my purchase. Thanks again!”
“The amp sounds amazing. Everything you said about the amp is true. Super accurate, super precise and fast. I rediscovered my NS10s.”
“I received the amplifiers, I thank you again for the quality of manufacture. I will do a very good publicity for Apollon Audio.”
