Pathos Classic One MkIII

The Pathos Classic One MKIII stereo hi-fi amplifier is a hybrid model with tubes and transistors delivering 2 x 70 W of power into 8 Ohms. It features exceptional musical quality and craftsmanship.

The preamplifier and power amplifier combined in the same chassis are completely separate from each other and have their own individual power supplies. The tube preamplifier using ECC86 input triodes is balanced in pure Class A. It produces extremely low noise and high intrinsic linearity. The amplification section is designed around low-distortion MOSFET power amplifiers, with high bias current and biased in Class A / AB. The power supplies are stabilized and oversized. The Classic One MKIII can be used in mono mode, thus developing 270 watts.
