“THE BEST OF
BOTH WORLDS”

The new integrated amplifier “The Silver/Black Shadow” is a perfect synthesis of the legendary EINSTEIN amplifier from the 90s and the large tube amplifiers, which are both impressive in terms of sound and design. It offers a great entry point into the world of high-fidelity music reproduction.

“Listening to music through the Silver/Black Shadow is like experiencing a live performance in your own home. The perfect blend of digital and analog technologies create an immersive, holographic soundstage that will transport you to another world.”

ADVANCED FEATURES AND DIGITAL INPUT

The amplifier itself possesses all the technical features that the ‚big‘ EINSTEIN devices also exhibit:
– Extremely short signal paths
– Sophisticated power supply with high current reserves
– Signal-to-noise ratio that is second to none
– Absolute thermal balance within the casing, a prerequisite for long life expectancy and optimal functioning of the components
– High bandwidth for detailed reproduction without any phase issues
– No dynamically limiting relays in the loudspeaker signal path
– Volume control through a resistor network

With the addition of an optional digital input, the possibilities for processing digital signals are endless. Drawing inspiration from our renowned reference CD player, the EINSTEIN “The Source”, we have created a truly remarkable feature that will take your music listening experience to the next level.

BRINGING ANALOG TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The “The Silver/Black Shadow” even has a special treat for all the analog enthusiasts out there – an integrated phono preamp that amplifies the small signal voltages of MM or high-level MC cartridges. So, whether you’re spinning some vintage vinyl or playing your favorite modern record, this amplifier has got you covered.
