Originally introduced in 1991, the Novacron was the first US product to use the classic 6C33C Russian power triode. Just over
twenty years later, Atma-Sphere is pleased to announce the return of the Novacron, now updated to Mk 3.3.
In 1991, not only was the amplifier on the cutting edge of high-fidelity sound reproduction, it was an outstanding example of
aesthetic industrial design. Today, the new Novacron combines the characteristics of the 6C33C triode with the same legendary
circuit topology that has made our other amplifiers famous. Recent advances have rendered the Novacron even more reliable, easier
to use, and inherently musical; maintaining the proper balance between sound and circuitry.
Designed for reproducing music, not sine waves, the Novacron tracks dynamic waveforms faster than any other amplifier in the world.
It naturally uncovers more detail than an ordinary amplifier, realizing your music as it was meant to be heard.
