MP-501 V5 is our flagship integrated tube amplifier. It is a big upgrade from the legendary MP-301 MK3 in terms of sonic details, dynamic and power. If you have low efficiency power hungry speakers, MP-501 is your solution. MP-501 can provide good bass response, big soundstage and very fine sonic details to the audience. Its sound signature combines both solid state and traditional tube advantages. It is a comprehensive amplifier that not only can play very sweet and smooth female vocal, but also can handle high dynamic range symphony unbelievably well.
MP-501 employs powerful Tung-Sol KT120/KT150 pentode power tubes and produces 55W per channel into both 8Ω and 4Ω. In order to achieve relatively high output power without sacrificing sound quality, power tubes are configured in single ended parallel mode instead of push-pull. Dual power transformers with independent DC filtering circuits provide the best channel isolation and strong power supply performance. Zero global negative feedback circuit design delivers the most natural and musical sounding.
