The re-engineering in the creation of the MA5 stemmed from years of experience restoring both American and British modules, deeply rooted in classic transformer-balanced, discrete electronics. Only the best and most suitable components are used throughout, regardless of cost, to attain the best sound.<\/p>\n<p>Over a year was spent on the MA5- not only on the engineering side of the design, but also in extensive sound evaluation with observation of specific settings, gain structures, and key components.<\/p>\n<p>We have always believed that our ears\u2018 sensitivity coupled with experienced judgment of sound is still unparalleled- even with some of the best audio test analyzers which we own and use. In the end, it is our ears we are trying to satisfy.<\/p>\n<p>The MA5\u2019s full and open sound is due to a rich harmonic content, particularly in the very low frequencies- even down to, and below, 10Hz.
