We are happy to announce our first integrated amplifier.

The LISSA is based on the well reviewed and received LM3875 Chip.  Our goal was to create a truly world-class integrated that echoes the magic of Art Audio amplifiers at an affordable price.

Unlike existing chip amplifier designs, we paid close attention to its power supply. You'll find a very robust, regulated power supply with the best Lundahl C-Core power transformers, Hexfred diodes, and Linear Technology low drop out regulators.  A further improvement is the addition of a Lundahl amorphous core input transformer.  Not only does it improve the natural tonal balance, it increases gain making the LISSA a true integrated design that can be used with any source. 

Current minimalist designs are either direct coupled throughout with no input protection or use an inferior capacitor. The LISSA prevents DC voltage offset from your source equipment damaging your speakers.  We also took advantage of the microprocessor controlled series/shunt attenuation circuit developed for the Alana Preamp.  It provides 74 dB. of attenuation in 1 dB. steps with independent left and right channels allowing a balance adjustment.  

Thanks to the star grounds with all traces optimized for maximum transfer with minimal loss and interference, the LISSA is exceptionally quiet to provide a noise-free background.

While the LISSA can be enjoyed with a 4 ohm speakers, to further optimize its performance, we recommend a speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or higher.
