Advance Paris A10 Hybrid Amplifier

ADVANCE PARIS A10 CLASSIC Integrated amplifier, Classic-Line The A10 CLASSIC is an audiophile integrated amplifier, inspired by the X-i1100, combining ECC81/12AT7 tubes and 2x130W class AB power. It offers a wide range of connectors (analog, digital, USB, Bluetooth, HDMI ARC), modern microprocessor control and comprehensive options (subwoofers, Pre-Out, High Bias). A timeless, musical and high-performance design. THE MUSICAL OBVIOUS With our new A10 CLASSIC amplifier, our aim was to offer an audiophile integrated amplifier inspired by the famous X-i1100, acclaimed for its musicality and liveliness. The A10 is fully future-proofed and easy to use. While its classic design remains timeless, it combines an ECC81/12AT7 tube preamplifier with a 2x130W class AB push-pull amplifier. In short, the best of both worlds! Modernity and Control Modernity is also on display, thanks to a microprocessor that manages all the functions called up by the encoder: a long or short press accesses the menus. We can scroll through the inputs: 6 analog on RCA with an MM phono with three capacitance settings (100, 200, 320 pf), a balanced line on XLR, 5 digital including 3 optical, an S/PDIF and a USB audio, plus a connector for an aptX XFTB01 or XFTB02 bluetooth receiver (optional). A USB-A socket accepts MP3 audio files from a portable music player or USB memory stick. Home Cinema Compatibility Original: two HDMI sockets, one for a DVD to benefit from the A10’s audio signal quality, and an HDMI ARC socket to connect a CEC protocol display, can be activated in the system configuration menu. Also shown here are system information, speaker selection (A, B or A B), loudness, bass, treble or bypass settings, and auto sleep (or not) from 5 to 90 min. The trigger Out output controls the switching on and off of products connected remotely to the A10 Classic (CD player, power pack, etc.). Advanced Connectors The A10 offers the possibility of connecting two subwoofers. A Pre-Out output allows connection of an additional power amp. A fixed Rec Out output is intended for a cassette, MD or other type of recorder. At the rear, the High Bias switch activates Class A polarization on the first watts of the power stage. The A10 is a real winner, and can even hold its own against much more ambitious and expensive models. A great success in prospect! Reviews On-Mag 06/05/2022: “The Advance A10 Classic is a complete, versatile piece of equipment that will stand out in any living room, thanks to both its sound qualities and its sophisticated design.” High Fidelity 16/10/2020: “It’s complete and perfectly ergonomic, so it’s a real winner, and can even hold its own against much more ambitious and expensive machines. A great success.” Witchdoctor 18/06/2024: “Advance Paris has given us a modern amplifier packed with future-proof features. With the addition of VU meters and tubes in the pre-amp stage, it gives a little nod to the past. It is nicely made, though not exactly luxuriously so.” HiFi Huff 11/10/2024: “The A10 is highly competitive with other pieces in this price bracket and dare I say, a step above!” SPECIFICATIONS Power & Audio Performance Output power 8Ω: 2 x 130 W RMS Output power 4Ω: 2 x 190 W RMS Bandwidth (-3dB): 10Hz-35kHz Tone: /- 10 dB Distortion: < 0.1% Signal-to-noise ratio: > 90 dB Channel separation: > 70 dB DAC: ESS 9018 Tubes: Yes VU-Meter: Yes Inputs & Outputs CD input: 1 Tuner input: 1 Auxiliary input: 4 Analog RCA input: 1 Optical input: 1 USB A input: 1 USB B input: 1 Record output: 1 Subwoofer output: 2, Mono, Low-pass 400 Hz Amplifier-preamplifier: Disconnectable Pair of speakers output: 1 5-Volt output WTX 500: 1 Settings & Electrical Settings: Treble, Balance, Bypass, Hi Bias switch, Bass, Volume Input impedance: 47KΩ Phono input impedance: 47KΩ Amplifier input level: < 300mV Phono MM/MC input level: 2.5mV Mains voltage: 115-230V Max. power consumption: 400 Transformer: 1 Warranty: 2-year warranty / 5-year warranty Dimensions & Weight Width: 430 mm Height: 175 mm Depth: 385 mm Net weight: 14.5 kg Gross weight: 17 kg ADVANCE A10 CLASSIC DATASHEET EN FR ADVANCE A10 CLASSIC TUTORIAL TUBES ADVANCE A10 CLASSIC QUICKSTART
