Thank you for posting...nice picture of Angel with the Isis.
Before the Isis I never would have contemplated downsizing...now I'm not so sure anymore.
...looking forward to the follow up articles.

miziq.......Thank you for posting the link to the Analog Domain Isis integrated amplifier. I am looking forward to a more thorough and complete review. I find thios component extremely interesting and attractive.

The separate interview with Angel was informative and fun.

Just noticed the unit in the pictures does not have the input and volume displays as shown in the folder... Or does only the D unit have the displays ?

Ivan. He is one heck of a proud father and for a good reason :).

The production model with the remote will have the displays shown in the picture.

Glad you enjoyed them. Analog Domain creations are for sure of a different and intriguing approach. You'll read soon about elaborated approach with Isis on each step. Its a gear, that also tickle my inner clock :).

What is price in US?

Not sure about the pricing in USA, but in Europe it will be around 13-15k EUR.

The Analog Domain Isis integrated amplifier is a beautiful component in silver or black. I like the solid black the best. It is interesting to note there are two versions of the Isis integrated being offered. The Isis M75D – Stereo integrated amplifier has a stepped analogue volume attenuator and remote control. The Isis M75A – Stereo integrated amplifier has a linear analogue volume attenuator and is manual control without a remote.

Class D I assume?

[miziq]

Not at all. Refined Class AB with unique Excalibur circuit.
