Default Antelope Audio

World’s First Atomic digital preamplifier

Has auditioned this Antelope Audio pre? (Just curious about the atomic clock )

"The world of high end audio is crowded with amplifiers and pre-amplifiers have taken the route to producing great sound devices, which have yet not done much utilize the power of the 10M Rubidium atomic clock. This list would include notable creations like the Audia Strumento amplifiers, NBS phono preamplifier, and the D7 valve pre-amplifier, which have overlooked the immense stability factor that Rubidium clock can provide as compared to the crystal oscillators. Now, changing that norm for good is the this pre-amplifier from Antelope Audio, called ‘Rubicon’ which happens to be the first in the world to use the clock, in order to bring about an unparalleled stability in sound characteristics. Everyone can thus see this path breaking device at the Munich High-End Show, from May 3rd to 6th, 2012, which shall prove to discerning audiophiles, what the ‘vow’ factor really is.

Talking from the point of view of most specialists from the high-end audio industry, one of the main problems they would notice in high-end amplifiers is the stability factor, or the presence of jitteriness. Rubicon changes all that, with the help of 10M Rubidium clock, which is 100,000 times more stable than any crystal oscillator that most companies tend to use. This, in tandem with the company made 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology which about the new dimension of stability which the company has fought hard to bring about in its product, the Rubicon pre-amplifier."
