When retrieving all of the information from an LP and driving your speakers obsess you, but not your wallet, the Verito-1 satisfies your audiophile dream.
Combining circuits from LKV Research’s premier Veros One phono stage and the instrument-grade Line One preamplifier with the robust Hypex NCore Class D output module, the Verito-1 yields an integrated amplifier with unmatched support for the widest known selection of cartridges and speakers.
LKV's Class D Output provides exceptional frequency response and damping for controlling speakers with an efficient, small carbon footprint.
An optional, op amp-based headphone amplifier module is available.
180+ Watts in 2, 4, & 8 ohms
AZF Input Circuit
Value Engineering. By removing dual-mono topology, balanced inputs and outputs, external power supplies and a remote; while using a basic instrumentation-grade chassis and a 48-step volume control, the cost of an LKV system drops from 20 k$ to less than 3 k$. The core features remain: LKV’s AZF circuits utilizing internal differential amplification, matched JFETs and high tolerance passive components. Only the Verito-1’s optional headphone amplifier section uses op amps.
Clear, Flexible System Upgrade Path. Procure a power amplifier? Use the Verito-1 as a preamp. Procure a preamp? Use the Verito-1 as a phono stage. Procure a phono stage? Use the Verito-1 simply as an integrated amplifier.
Class A, Zero-Feedback Input. Listen to the entire audible spectrum with as little noise and distortion as possible. When designed correctly, differential (aka balanced), zero-feedback circuits provide the shortest signal paths to minimize multiple noise and distortion factors, not just THD. Variations of LKV Research's AZF short-signal-path gain circuit deliver extremely quiet amplification from the phono stage through the preamplifier sections for precision listening.
Class D Output. Driving speakers requires feedback. With the advent of Bruno Putzey’s NCore, Class D suffers less from frequency-response-issues in feedback than Class A or AB. Class D works best in driving speakers.
