The
"Ultra GT"
is a no holds bar version of the Silver Statement. In addition to all the
features found in the Purity Silver Statement, the Ultra GT
brings to the table further enhancements that bring the Ultra
GT into a class of it's own.
The
Ultra GT dual mono balanced linestage is a result of years
of intensive research directed at attaining the most accurate
reproduction of recorded music. Unique topology and
application of the most advanced technological resources and
processes bring the Purity "Ultra GT" to a threshold of excellence in sound reproduction
that has yet to be experienced or equaled.
A
distinctive feature of the Ultra GT setting it apart from it's
competition is it's multiple large capacitance storage banks.
Each of the two channels contains 21 large value polypropylene
capacitors allowing the Ultra GT to provide the fastest and
tightest dynamics available from a vacuum tube linestage. In
addition to the large power rails, also featured in the Ultra GT
is the use of multiple Bybee Quantum Purifiers per channel as
well as the latest Bybee Music Rails. One Music Rail per power
supply providing a dead quite, black background and ultra low
noise floor.
To add to it's main
features, the Ultra GT utilizes 100% silver transformer coupling at both the
input and output stages. All signal wire is a high grade solid
core OCC silver. Transformer coupling output results in a low
output impedance making for better integration with any type of amplifier as
well as providing an uncanny sense of transparency and resolution Highest
quality Dueland copper foil capacitors with built in Silver bypass are used in
the final stage of the circuit with all signal wire duties
handled by
“VH Audio OCC Silver AirLok”
hookup wire. Attenuation is handled by a
balanced autoformer design with Silver Bybee purifiers feeding
the inputs. Also available by special order are Pure Silver Autoformers for
those who appreciate what a silver signal path brings to the table. Located at the output stages is two more pair of Silver Bybee
Purifiers. Extraordinary transparency of perceived
sound which in turn assures the recreation of a three
dimensional soundstage.
The Ultra GT contains a total of 10 Bybee Quantum
Purifiers. Four large units found in the power supply and 6
Silver Purifiers found in the signal path providing the absolute
best in transparency, resolution and extension at the frequency
extremes.
An additional feature of the
Ultra GT is the use of a pair of secondary autoformers feeding the input of the
tube circuit allowing for six different levels of output gain to match the Ultra GT with any power amp on the market. In addition to this feature, the Ultra GT also
has the ability to run in full passive mode while still retaining full
silver transformer coupling as well as the benefits of all the Silver Bybee Purifiers
in the signal path from input to output.
Extensive research, testing
and listening led to unique, innovative design that
achieves very low distortion and wide bandwidth without the need
for negative feedback which destroys transient purity.
The full
function remote handles volume, mute, balance, source select and
phase as well as being able to completely turn off the display.
The very precise autoformer attenuation provide 1dB increments.
Parallel
Polypropylene Power Supply (3PS)
The 3PS power
supply is quite possibly the first of it's kind in the industry. The 3PS
contains a total of 42 large value polypropylene capacitors
that make up the Ultra GT's choke filtered power supply storage banks. Each of
the two independent DC rails are then fed into Bybee Music Rails further
reducing any potential residual noise.
Bybee Quantum Purifiers are
installed in both legs between the transformer secondaries and
the rectifying stage.
The 3PS power supply provides what
we believe to be the cleanest, most noise free B+ voltage found
in most any audiophile product in the industry today.
Audition the Purity Audio Design "Ultra GT" and have all the
incorrect myths you have heard about silver put to rest.
