philosophy of final MUSIC series
<
High-Speed Circuitry > final
amp circuits use no high-capacity condensers ( 0.2 mF or less ).
Condensers store and then discharge electricity, starting the flow of
electric current. It is impossible to increase the speed of a circuit
beyond that of one such storage and discharge cycle. With condensers of
one mF or higher in a circuit, there is no way to achieve high-speed
operation, no matter how good the circuit is. When an amplifier that is
incapable of high-speed operation is used, sounds are superimposed,
masking the subtleties in performance. When numerous instruments are
playing simultaneously, the sound then becomes distorted. For starters, it
becomes impossible to get the sense of transparency in the sound. <
Stabilizing the Circuits > final
amps require no absolutely no tuning. Until now, amps have always seemed
to sound their best immediately after being optimally tuned. However, if
mismatched parts are used, then attempting adjustments such as semi fixed
resistance becomes an exercise in futility. In the first place, even when
measures such as using semi fixed resistance are adopted, the resistance
of contacts changes with the deterioration that occurs over time, limiting
the value in taking time to make the necessary adjustments. Furthermore,
incorporating circuitry in an attempt to force stability the amp’s
performance changes means the amp is prevented from conforming to the
musical signals, resulting in poor sound quality. For this reason, there
is nothing in final amps that requires any tuning. This
is achieving through uncompromising selection of parts, with circuitry
fixed at optimal operating conditions. This
makes final amp circuits and performance completely stable, requiring no
readjustment, regardless of how many years pass. Furthermore, absolutely
no time is needed for warm-up. < An Approach Based on Quality of Sound > Test Listening a number of different amps has shown that, even when the data use to measure performance is identical, amps will still exhibit differences in tone. One reason for this discrepancy is that sounds that are characteristically produced when a particular resistor or condenser is used are either superimposed on the music signals, or are omitted. The approach taken with final amps has been to make every effort to eliminate such use of inappropriate parts, and further to use only the minimum number of parts necessary for the amps’ operation. Additionally, every resistor used in a circuit is the most appropriate type for the particular position. And while non-resonating, wide-range condensers are very costly, those exceeding the 60-MHz range are also used. Furthermore, each amp is hand-wired by a single craftsman, start to finish, and printed circuit boards, another are a cause of poor sound, are never used. power supplies for final MUSIC amplfiers philosophy of battery DC power supply
When you select a DC power supply.... This battery box, a custom design for the MUSIC series of amplifiers, is perfect for people with a high-efficiency speaker system (95dB or higher), or people considering buying one. Battery life drops off dramatically in low-efficiency speaker systems (80-dB class), often as low as several hours. If you listen about two hours a day, and have a high-efficiency speaker system, then you can estimate battery life as: MUSIC-4 / MUSIC-5 custom battery box about 6 months MUSIC-6 custom battery box about 6 months ( These are estimate; actual performance will vary with your system specifications and usage conditions.) If you are considering purchasing a high-efficiency speaker system, we recommend the Final speakers. philosophy of tube regulated AC power supply < Newly
Developed Vacuum-Tube AC Power Supply > The
power-supply circuit, just like the amp circuit, can affect sound.
The quality of the power supply can change the sound so much that
it can even make it appear that a different amp is used.
Manganese batteries
have been said to be the best choice for amplifier power supplies, but
demand from professional users to enable use from a commercial power
supply inspired us to develop an AC power supply employing ten vacuum
tubes that surpasses the sonic quality obtained with battery power. <
The AC Transformer Also Features a Special Design >
Winding
a number of secondary coils brings the coil to the edge of the core, where
induction conditions are poor. < Musical Expressiveness Through Use of a High-quality Power Supply > This vacuum-tube AC power supply gives greater energy to dynamic musical performances, and makes tonic field more distinct, and brings out the fingering of pianists and the different parts of orchestral perfhe quiet passages of performances even quieter. It makes changes in the sormance with amazing clarity. Enjoy the full range of expression of musical performances with the MUSIC System from Final Research. Phono equalizer amplifier MUSIC-4

audio isolation feet DARUMA - 3 II
|
An
analogue turntable and also a CD player inherently set up extensive
although imperceptible vibrations when running. The continuous vibration
of the chassis causes the whole system to be veiled in a vibration loop,
resulting in an overall masking of the musical performance. We observe
around the world many types of anti vibration devices that are usually
designed to damp, or modify this unwanted vibration, this they do more or
less effectively. DARUMA-3II overcomes vibration by earthing it out, this
reduction is clearly perceptible, after being introduced to DARUMA-3II
most listeners will appreciate how many of the musical subtleties they had
been missing. Loudspeakers, amplifiers, tuners and cassette decks all
suffer the effects of vibration, muddling in the midrange, rolling
ponderous bass and treble capable of loosening fillings. DARUMA-3II
mechanical vibration earth, will set any piece of equipment free off
vibration, to give its performance without interference. We at Final
promise: at little cost, anyone can upgrade their system’s musical
performance, and ultimately gain more enjoyment from their recordings.

audio line cable SPEED 0202 audio speaker cable SPEED 0203

The
Speed and Power Series of cables from Final Research are the world’s
first audio-use power and signal cables made with M-2052, an amazing alloy
that offers better vibration-damping characteristics than rubber coupled
with the strength of iron. Final Research is proud to offer these cables
to the world’s audiophiles. Power supplies (AC), line cables, and speaker cables exhibit tremendous vibration when they conduct current. This vibration alters the audio signals and can lead to a loss in the amount of information carried. With AC cables, this can mean a loss of electrical energy. For audio cables, vibration has always been an intractable problem. Attempts to use softer materials to counter vibration have always resulted in phase distortion, at which the path to high fidelity is lost. The astounding characteristics of M-2052 make it the only vibration-damping material that expands the path to high fidelity. The path to high fidelity is crossed by an age-old problem – materials. Final Research did not hesitate to choose copper. To eliminate impurities, simple oxygen-free copper (OFC) with its lack of unneeded processing offers the most straightforward molecular structure, and the fact that it’s widely recognized to be the purest makes it clearly the best choice. And since we believe that our subjective perceptions based on many years of experience are the best gauge of audio performance, we didn’t rely on measurements and data. The elegance of the molecules in the material enables it to counter even absolutely invisible vibrations. Other materials such as silver offer high conductivity, making them popular in high-fidelity applications. But one characteristics of silver is that it doesn’t bond with other metals. Also, once you’ve listened to audio over silver and heard how high the impedance is, it’s clear why silver is just another path that leads away from true high fidelity. |
In
developing these new amplifiers, final set out with the basic approach of
creating the amp for its true role – a tool used for listening to
music. Where personal taste does not get in the way of the sound, that is,
where to the very end, an amp valued not for any particular tone it may
exhibit, but as a source to the performer. Every effort has been made to
make it possible for the core essence of the sound to come through, with
utmost care has invested in both components and design, disregarding the
concept of a general amplifier. To put it in concrete terms, the following
steps were taken in order to allow reproduction of music with the highest
fidelity.
