Description
We proudly present the flagship lanus Geminae - our first amplifier in the new Ianus Series
“The Ianus Geminae is a breakthrough product in terms of ultimate sonic performance combined with power delivery. Convention solid state amplification can have high current delivery but sadly looses much of musics emotion and realism in the process. We set a goal of completely avoiding such shortcomings. Not only that, we were determined to combine current delivery with the superb sonic performance of a SOTA Single Ended Triode design. This has been attempted before by other manufacturers, but in our opinion, has not been fully realised until the realise of the Aries Cerat Lanus amplifiers.”
Class A Circlotron
100% Class A Operation
We called this topology a Super-Symmetric Self-Balancing inductively driven Circlotron. Zero feedback loops are used, either local or global. The floating circlotron is self-centering / balancing and does not need any long term adjustment, DC servos to stabilize, constant bias adjustmnent or correcting mechanism to eliminate DC voltage offset at its outputs.
AC Coupling
Two Stage Design
It is powered by its separate tube rectified-double choke filtered PSUs and low noise negative bias system. The input stage drives the TriodeFet stage by floating secondaries of the coupling transformer, so the floating/self-balancing nature of the output stage is not affected. The amplifier is fully adjustable on-the-fly.
Inputs & Outputs
The Geminae comes with variable gain inputs, using very high quality Transformer Volume Contro (TVC) system, a sonically transparent solution only found in top shelf preamplifiers.
Power Supply
The output power supply is based on a pair of 800VA power transformers feeding double pi-filter power banks, and using extremely large core choke inductors and high speed capacitors.
The Geminae harmonic distortion distribution and profile are indistinguishable from that of a SOTA Single Ended design, though the level of distortions are much lower, and output impedance is 100 times lower. This is part of it’s sonic signature and why is retains much of the magic you hear in SOTA SET amplifiers.
