Massimiliano Magri's Magnetosolid® Technology

Yes... at the end of the last millennium I was very happy with the sound of my tube amps, but in my brain there was an only question:

"why are the tube amps richer and more delicious of sound than solid state amps ?"

I know perfectly the physics of the tubes and the solid state devices, so I understood that the answer to my question was in the circuits and not in the devices!

In the year 2000 I started my research in my technology : the first amplifier with this technology was born in 2002.

It's really a TRUE "tube amplifier schematic", WITHOUT the tubes and INSIDE are only solid state devices.

This sound was so different from all other amplifiers.

This technology needed a proper name : "Magnetosolid® Technology".

Magnetosolid is the union of MAGNETO and SOLID. MAGNETO is for ferromagnetic components, so the output transformers. SOLID is for solid state components.

The transformers are a consequence of our schematics like the tube schematics. In practice what did I actually do ?

I created solid state amplifiers with the rich natural sound of the tube amps - but not only are the frequency response of Magnetosolid® amps so much bigger than tube amps, the true plus is the damping factor - our impedance output is very, very low compared to tube amplifiers. This gives huge control and grip in the bass frequencies that tubes can only dream of !!!

The other very important aspect of this design is in refinement of our design/schematic :

• - no capacitances between the stages (only before output transistors)
• - only two output transistors (simple push-pull)
• - no feedback (zero)
• - for every device we use a dedicated power supply circuit.

So we use a design/schematic like the best tube amps, but improved!

People think that tubes play better than solid state components...Really, tube amplifiers play better than ordinary solid state amplifiers, only for their design, not for the tubes.

So with the Grandinote Solo Integrated Amplifier, we have brought to market a sound which absolutely embodies the addictive and dreamy nature of the best valve amplifiers, but with the dexterity, control and grip of the best solid state - prepare for a musical experience which will set a new bar in your expectations.........

** Massimiliano Magri explains the VHP version of Magnetosolid :

It's very important to have a very high quality output transformer.

My research has continued to improve this component.

I decided to test a special material to produce the magnetic cores for the output transformers.

The cost of this special core is very, very high, but his performances are incredible:

• With the identical wire geometry, with this special core, the primary inductance is more than 10 times than ordinary cores !
• The damping factor is higher, the frequency response is bigger (in low and in high frequencies), the voices are more natural...
