The Purity One is a Class "A" balanced linestage that started it
all. The Purity linestage line is the result of years of
intensive research directed at attaining the most accurate
reproduction of recorded music. The Purity One borrows
much of the design from it's larger and more sophisticated
siblings but without the dual mono power supply and advanced
remote features. The Purity One utilizes a relay based source selection
allowing for full transformer coupling of all inputs. Both
single ended and balanced. An LED
display readout with remote volume and mute indicates volume level.
Unique topology and application of the most
advanced technological resources and processes bring the Purity
One to a threshold of excellence in sound reproduction. To add to it's main features, the
Purity One carries on the tradition of choke regulated
power supply and quality components throughout. Like the
Purity Reference, the Purity One utilizes a dual chamber design
within a single chassis. Extraordinary transparency of perceived
sound which in turn assures the recreation of a three
dimensional soundstage.
The
transformer coupled output yields a low output impedance
allowing the Purity One to mate up with most any power
amplifier. Both tube and solid state.
The chassis is a matter of
form follows function. The Purity linestages utilize a chassis
comprised of a unique combination of 100% Acrylic. The top panel is
removable for easy tube access.
Transformer
coupled balanced inputs and outputs are standard. All
inputs, both single ended and balanced, benefit from transformer
coupling. Single ended outputs are wired in conjunction with
the balanced output providing all the benefits of the output
transformer.
The back
panel consist of 3 sets of single ended inputs and 1 set
balanced, two each single ended and balanced outputs. Passive
home theater bypass input. All inputs and outputs,
including single ended, benefit from transformer coupling.
As with all
Purity Series products, the remote circuit has been granted it's
own dedicated power supply including a separate, standalone
power transformer as not to interfere at all with the analog
circuit resulting in a dead quite background and lowest possible
noise floor.

version. The rear panel on the Purity One linestage only version
utilizes the same rear panel but without the additional
components required for the amplifier section.
