The first thing you notice when listening to Rita is the exceptional soundstage and detail. Even large and complex speakers ‘disappear’ into the music.
Rita is truly an object of beauty even when she’s switched off, but when she’s powered up she turns into a veritable wonderland, thanks to her blue LEDs, red tube heaters, translucent meters, and polished faceplate.At 90 pounds (net weight) you know you have entered in to the world of high class audio. Rita’s anti-shock aluminum casing completes the stunning appearance that will be welcome in any room.
Rita is based on over 15 years of hi-end manufacturing experience, which is then all folded into a solid contender with the sound, looks and pricing that make it one of the best buys in hi-fidelity for accurate music reproduction. Rita can easily drive complex speaker loads and matches well with both affordable speakers and exotic $100k+ speaker systems. Rita is the amp to build your system around or to improve your current system.
450 watts of peak to peak power allows you to experience the true dynamics of your music and the balanced design adds up to 5db of signal gain to the amplification. Rita outperforms most 100w Class A solid state amps that we have compared her against.
Truly a stunning design that even runs relatively cold, allowing your tubes to last much longer. The case is actually cold to the touch. Finally, a high power tube amp you can enjoy in the summer. A wide selection of after- market tubes is available to allow you to easily customize the sound of your Rita.
Custom hand-wound, highest quality, high tolerance chokes; power and output transformers ensure that Rita has the right amount of power on instantaneous call for low noise and high dynamics.A custom 30 point digital stepped volume ensures that all your music is not getting lost in your volume control. Rita even remembers what volume you left her at. The hand carved remote is a pleasure.
Point to Point hand wired circuitry with excellent quality capacitors and resistors allow for the high bandwidth, low distortion character of Rita. She performs like solid state, with high and proper dampening control and speed for low frequencies, but with that special sound we love about tubes.Rita excels at any type of music from soft classical to modern heavy rock.
‘I was, simply, really impressed with Rita, no matter what music I played and no matter the source. She has a great mix of much of what many consider the best of “tube sound” and solid state’ (customer)
