Canor TP-106 VR+

The dimmed golden light of the volume ring and the logo was - without any doubt - the most attractive visual feature of the Canor. The amplifier is built to last and the high quality design just screams from it.

e TP106 VR+ has 6550 high-power tubes in ultralinear connection to cathode feedback which operates in pure class A up to 20W per channel. Management section which manages the entire amplifier (input switching, volume control, soft-start of the whole amplifier) is completely galvanically separated from the audio section, which results in total elimination of noise voltages penetration to signal circuits. A 10dB better crosstalk was achieved by using additional tube shielding, a metal barrier between the left and right channel and an additional shielding of Blue Alps potentiometer. The transformer core is vacuum-impregnated in order to remove mechanical hum, and the whole transformer is potted in a special antivibration material. Moreover, a cover in which the whole transformer is housed, produces effective electromagnetic shielding and is the main reason of excellent signal-to-noise ratio. In the power supply feed as well as management section power supply there are used very effective high-frequency filters. Primary and secondary winding is separated by grounded copper foil (with double shielding) which prevents penetration of noise voltages from the mains.
One of the most important parts of a tube amplifier, the output transformer, has several bifilar windings which are lined up in sections to maximise power bandwidth. Optimal ratio between ultralinear and cathode feedback made of TP106 VR+ a very universal and adaptive amplifier ready to drive any matching loudspeakers. In the signal path, only high-quality Mundorf polypropylene capacitors are used.

The rear panel provides 5 line inputs (RCA), Tape Out, speaker terminals, main power switch and an IEC socket. The functions of the amp (and the CD player too) are available through a solid remote controller.
