The new Staccato Audio BU-01 operates in a single-ended configuration, delivering 300 watts of continuous power in pure Class A. Most of the implemented solutions are original designs by the designer, making this amplifier truly unique.
Key highlights
- Inductors and capacitors are used for voltage and current filtering instead of only capacitors, prioritizing performance over cost savings.
- To minimize unwanted magnetic and electrical interference, the transformer is enclosed in Italian-made ferrite plates.
- Distortion, noise, and current fluctuations are reduced to an absolute minimum, ensuring a highly controlled power supply.
- Each output stage features a matched transistor pair with an ultra-tight 1 mV tolerance.
- All PCB designs are personally crafted by the constructor.
- A microcontroller adjusts the startup volume based on the selected source and remembers the last settings.
Jakub Honkisz aimed to create an amplifier capable of revealing more subtle details than one might perceive in a live performance.
The BU-01 offers exceptional sound separation, thanks to its refined power supply and signal path.
With ultra-low noise and a precisely controlled power impulse, the amplifier enables speakers to reproduce an unprecedented level of detail, with outstanding bass control and precision.
As a result, the sound detaches from the speakers, creating a highly immersive experience.
The amplifier supports six parallel-connected audio sources but does not include a built-in phono stage. However, it features a PRE-OUT output for added flexibility.
Its tube-like sonic character allows for hours of fatigue-free listening, while advanced thermal management—such as resin-sealed power supply components—ensures optimal temperature stability.
