About Aitos
More than 30 years ago a group of music lovers expressed their desire to have music reproduction equipment approaching live music. They challenged us to create superior audio equipment.
Taking on the challenge we started in-depth research, based on the knowledge of advanced electronics in military and medical systems. All sorts of circuitries were built, optimised and thoroughly auditioned. Active components (transistors, FETs and tubes), as well as passive components (resistors, capacitors, transformers and wiring) were extensively evaluated.
Tubes are (still) the way to go
To our own surprise one of the most remarkable findings was that tubes appeared to give the most natural audible results. Apparently tubes were the way to go.
No inductive components in the signal path
Another outcome of our research was to abandon inductive components like transformers in the signal path. By doing so we succeeded in creating devices of extreme bandwidth, which is unique with tube equipment. Based on this research our first prototype output transformer less (OTL) tube amplifiers were developed and built.
The listening group was flabbergasted by the results. To support the quality of the Aitos amplifiers we were forced to develop peripherals of the same quality.
Research and Development
Today Aitos is investigating heavily in Research and Development to develop new and exciting products for the discerning music lover. Especially digital systems have our special attention!
Also new products based on our current tube products are in the pipeline.
Until today we did not find (hear) an alternative for tubes as they are still the best sounding components for sound amplification and reproduction.
