METAXAS (MAS) IRAKLIS High End Audiophile Stereo Power Amplifier 50 Watts RMS Per Channel Audiophile Power Amplifier Top and bottom plate : stainless steel plate.included original wood(plywood) carrier case.120VAC 60HzS/N No. 0 570Unit net weight : 18Kgs (40LB)Good working condition. * Since this power amplifier does not have a power relay, you must turn off the power and then turn off the preamplifier after some time has passed. THE METAXAS IRAKLIS: Reviewed by Jean Hiraga/Patrick Vercher, LA NOUVELLE REVUE DU SON, France We have already tested in this column one of the best models in the prestigious Metaxas range, the Solitaire amplifier. We have selected this time from the reference such as Marquis, Charisma, Opulence or Soliloquy, the Iraklis Amplifier which powers 2 x 50 W. One finds, on the Iraklis Amplifier - Hercules in Greek, a symbol of strength - a conception of pure audiophile which is always present in each piece of this range of Australian origin. This company, Metaxas Audio Systems (MAS), directed by a man with a grand passion for high end audio, Kostas Metaxas has always fixed as its objective, the conception of amplifiers and preamplifiers responding to the different needs of audiophiles particularly the perfectionists, and to this end the company makes no concessions that could destroy the performances in terms of transparency or dynamics. The Iraklis, of smaller dimensions, renders the same aesthetic as the 2 x 100W Solitaire. It is very different from the classical rack modesl with which we are familiar and has the box form with front face, almost square (22x18.5) anodised black linked to a quite narrow chassis (20.5cm) but quite deep (37cm). The heatsinks of the power suplies are not placed conventionally - usually on the top of the chassis - but they are placed behind of the chassis on lateral sides of it. If this conception was not enhanced by chrome, by an impeccable finish, one could be foregiven for thinking that it was a creation of an amateur audiophile more anxious about problems of thermic dissipation or searching for very short internal links rather than a classical high end piece of equipment. The implementation of the different elements shows that there is no mystery on these points. The linking between each RCA input (gold plated of excellent quality) is reduced to a few millimetres. In output, the speaker terminals are very near the output stage transistors which are Japanese Toshiba complements 2SC 2563/2SA 1093 rated at 80 watts. All the components of the amplification section of each channel, with the exception of the power supply, are on a surface of note more than 8 x 10cm. It is difficult to do better and this philosophy is applied to all of the best pieces like the Charisma preamplifier which has no internal wire link. If the philosophy of the circuit is not really a new one, it uses formulas that have always proved to be amongst the finest of the audio specialists: driver stages working in pure class A, power supplies of huge dimensions with very fast rectifiers in parallel and filter condensers of very high capacity (22,000mF x 4), Darlington type power stage complemented and temperature stabilised, differential and symmetric input circuits, multiple local feedback circuits which allow the application of a total negative feedback which is only 10dB. Bessel type input filtering which eliminates radio frequencies above 500kHz, in the gradual slope this allows the removal of all incidence on the stability or on the phase in the audio band. On each channel the active components are limited to about 15:2 power transistors, 2 driver transistors, (2SC 2275/2SA 985), 1 operational amplifier comparer (LF351, which gives compensation for DC offset) input transistors and pre-drivers of Amercian and European origin. (BC 549, 559, 2N 2205 2219). The components of diverse origins, (Europe, USA, Japan) have each been chosen according to criteria as much technical as it is subjective: WIMA MKS4 polycarbonate condensers, metallic film resistors with a 2% tolerance, polystyrene condensers (for small value). On the power supply side, the transformer under the armour-plated cover is 1000VA (over dimensioned because 300VA would have been more than sufficient) has on the second side, four fuses for protection and another one, general, on the first side. The rectification is not assured by a diode bridge but by some (triplets) of rapid diodes IN4004 shown in parallel (not commutation pics). The configuration being double mono type, the power supply circuits are separated from the transformer which has a single common winding but a double secondary winding. All of the pieces composing the chassis are made starting from non-magnetic metals such as stainless steel, light aluminium alloys. Compared with the Solitaire, the Iraklis offer for the price of a limited power to 2 x 50W, a simple push-pull output stage (the Solitaire is a quadruple push-pull type). The back panel has only the essential: input connectors, H.P. connectors, A.C. connectors. The front panel only has the on/off switch. For the specifications, the manufacturer proclaims a signal to noise ratio of -117dB (with a short circuited input), an input impedence of 130 kOhms, a damping factor of 500 and an average harmonic distortion of 0.25%.

Selling my Marquis Memento Mori Headphone preamp / amplifier. I purchased this from the Netherlands in 2019 and has remained un-used for the past few years with a very low overall runtime. Please look up technical specs from their official site or other listings elsewhere. This was $6,000 MSRP retail, so this markdown is priced to sell. Eyes illuminate red when powered on and have a built in spectral analyzer in the eyes to show audio levels real-time along with your music. Unit also doubles as a headphone holder. Last 3 pictures show the scuff marks on unit; 1 is on the backside not visible during use, the topside of the back of the base has a scuff mark (can probably be covered with sharpie), and there is a roughly 2mm scuff on the left side of the forehead on the unit. All are minor and do not affect use. This is an extremely rare and limited release, only few were made into existence. Perfect collectors piece for an audiophile, gothic/skull enthusiast, Dia de Muertos, Raiders fan perhaps, anything skull design related really lol. Ships with original accessories and packaging contents to keep safe during transit.

SUPER RARE 1990s Metaxas Marquis II preamplifier with onboard reference adjustable phono stage. The Marquis II is an Australian handbuilt, fully discrete circuitry preamplifier and comes with a separate dedicated power supply unit and umbilical power cord. The Marquis is renowned for its transparency, soundstage and dynamic range. The onboard MM/MC fully adjustable discrete design phono stage provides reference quality sonics. Preamplifiers and phono stages of the current day are no longer built with such expertise and precision! This preamplifier is in excellent cosmetic condition and naturally in full working order - please see pics of the actual item for sale. Due to the fragility of the equipment, this sale is for pick up in person only. Please see my other listings for a matching Metaxas Solitaire power amplifier if you are looking for a pre and power amplifier set.
