The central strength of the OM1 is a marriage of the two prize characteristics of great sound reproduction: accuracy and musicality. The OM1 represents a new approach, overcoming traditional design limitations with a unique solid state circuit utilizing high speed microchips. The extreme speed of these chips allows the timing of the music to be preserved-technically, deviation from linear phase is limited to within a half-degree throughout the audio bandwith. Subtle details in the music are preserved, particularly at the frequency extremes and during dynamically demanding passages. There is an audibly heightened sense of musical truth. Throughout the OM1, every aspect of the signal path has been optimized. Less wire. Fewer switches. Capacitor and servo free. Highest quality parts. From the 31 position shunt attenuator to the fully curved circuit layout to the choice of specific circuit components, all facets of the design are tested for musicality by extensive listening. The OM1 represents a step beyond current preamplifier technology. |
