desiderio 



Desiderio is no   compromise flagship dual   mono piece of art.

 Desiderio  is the italian word for "Desire" and represents our desire to conjugate power and high quality in one amplifier. It is a very common concept that a very powerful amplifier cannot express high quality, herefore it is easy to understand what a difficult mission was placed in front of our technical staff. By carefully observing, among electrical components and mechanical parts, hidden deep inside this unique amplifier, you will be able to find what makes it so special: passion for the detail, dedication to music, sound refinement, love for craftsmanship. Everything is needed to build devices For Music Lovers. A mirror to reflect our philosophy, like a sculpture or a painting is the tangible representation of the artist’s dreams and wishes, this device is the fulfilling of our own desire, with no compromise.

Made of two, completely separated, mono amplifiers, laid down inside a unique chassis. The concept is very easy: keep everything as simple as possible in order to preserve the sound signal going through the device.

Power supply

Push-pull power supply, with 4 Electric Transformers and 4 Mosfets section are placed for each channel.

Only discrete

Desiderio is a 100% discrete amplifier to don't have any limitation from Integrated Components during its engineering.

Gold plated tracks

All Desiderio boards go throught a 24K gold plating process to improve the electric conducivity of its tracks.

Oversized

Desiderio is using an oversized number of capacitors on both input and output stage to avoid any difficulty on heavy loads.

Every single component in any board of the Desiderio
is manually placed and soldered on PCB directly by its creator.
Nobody else  is working on it during the 8 days
of assemblying process.

Each channel, or better each one of the two amplifier, has an individual error checking that can, in case of failure, deactivate the amplifer in order to prevent damages to the device itself or to other external connected devices.

Testing Procedure

01. Stress test

Every Desiderio is wired to pink noise generator on the input
and resistive load, full load, on the output for 12 hours continuously.

02. Listening test

On this stage every Desiderio is wired to directly to speakers
and play music for another 12 hours.
