Conrad-Johnson ACT2

Send

The Conrad-Johnson ACT2 is a high-end integrated amplifier designed to deliver exceptional sound quality without the need for external preamplification or a separate power amplifier. Its design philosophy is centered around providing a balanced and natural sound that is true to the source material.One of the standout features of the ACT2 is its tube-based analog circuitry, which includes four 12AX7 tubes in the preamplification stages and two 6H30 tubes in the output stages. These tubes are carefully matched and biased to ensure that the amplifier delivers consistent sound quality.The ACT2 also features a high-quality Class-A output section that provides a direct coupling to the speaker without the use of capacitors, resulting in a more detailed and dynamic sound. Additionally, the ACT2 incorporates a solid-state relay buffer to ensure that there is no loss of signal or degradation in sound quality when connecting the amplifier to a variety of source components.In terms of connectivity, the ACT2 includes a line-level input section, a moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) phono input section, and a tape output with level control. The ACT2 also includes high-quality gold-plated binding posts for connecting speakers, as well as a grounding post for further improving the sound quality.Overall, the Conrad-Johnson ACT2 is a high-performance integrated amplifier that delivers exceptional sound quality in a compact, affordable package. Its seamless integration of tube and solid-state circuitry, coupled with its high-end components and top-quality build quality, make it a standout choice for audiophiles who demand the very best in sound quality and design.
