the SPHINX name, especially concerning audio
quality perfection.
This service manual will help you to optimally
service and repair the Sphinx Project Ten
Integrated Stereo Amplifier
This integrated high-end stereo amplifier is of
exceptional quality. With exception of the balanced
input section, it is of discrete design throughout (no
IC's are used). The pre-amp section is built around
Dual FET's and the amplifier is DC-coupled from
input to output.
The two mono power amps (each channel is totally
independent) use special power transistors with a
power bandwidth of over 20 MHz, a very fast slew
rate and an unsurpassed phase linearity over the
power bandwidth. The amplifiers are therefore very
stable and can effortlessly drive every type and
format of loudspeaker (even the most complex ones
such as electrostatic and magnetostatic...) at
maximum quality.
All internal audio cabling is Siltech pure silver and
the amp outputs are sent to the loudspeaker
connectors via heavy duty, completely sealed gold-
plated relays.
To obtain the maximum quality from this integrated
amp it is necessary for it to be properly aligned and
to be used with top quality audio components,
preferably other Sphinx components.
