Creek Evolution 2 80 Watt Integrated Amplifier
|
List Price: $1,575.00
Our Price: $1,575.00
|
|
|
Creek Evolution 2 80 Watt Integrated Amplifier, The Creek Evolution 2 amplifier offers 80W per channel (into 8 ohms), features a large high quality 250VA toroidal transformer, and achieves high-end sound quality with no expense spared. The Evolution 2 amplifier features high quality internal components (some of which are listed below), gold plated input and output sockets at the back (providing excellent connections), one set of speaker outputs (4mm banana plug sockets) and a headphone socket, a feature which is becoming rarer on modern amplifiers.
Improvements over the old Evolution model include a direct AV input, which switches the input signal directly to the power amplifier, allowing you to use the Evolution 2 as part of a home cinema system also, driving the front channels when connected to a 5.1 receiver. The power amplifier section has been upgraded to provide better sonic and measured performance, resulting in lower distortion and noise. The preamplifier has also been modified to remove a gain stage after the volume control. This has reduced unwanted noise, improved signal handling and lowered distortion.
The distribution of gain in the pre-amp and power amps is now similar to Creek’s higher-end Destiny model. Unwanted or unnecessary capacitors have been removed from the signal path, and all signal paths have been shortened where possible. In summary, this new model offers measurably better performance than the old model, while still offering the wonderfully rich, musical sound quality that made the old model so popular. Highly recommended.

Creek Evolution 5350 Integrated Amplifier
|
List Price: $2,250.00
Our Price: $2,250.00
|
|
|
Creek Evolution 5350 Integrated Amplifier, The Evolution 5350 integrated amplifier almost offers the same reference performance as the Destiny at a lower price - one of the finest and most articulate amplifiers we've heard from Creek. The 5350 features a new bi-polar design that enable it to drive low impedance loudspeakers with modern dynamic music from high resolution sources. It has borrowed technology from both the Evolution 2 and Classic 5350SE and is styled to match the EVOLUTION 2 CD Player and EVOLUTION Tuner.
The Bi-Polar design is a new approach from creek. To enable 2 x 200 Watts into 4 Ohms to be produced from a small case, Creek has developed a massive power supply using a high grade 350 Watt toroidal mains transformer that powers left and right power amp channels separately, plus pre-amp and digital circuits. To keep the power amps operating safely, they are monitored by discrete transistor circuitry to protect against over-current demand, short circuits, over-temperature and DC offsets. Relays mute the input and separate the loudspeaker outputs in case of faults.

Creek Destiny 2 Integrated Amplifier
|
List Price: $3,600.00
Our Price: $3,600.00
|
|
|
Creek Destiny 2 Integrated Amplifier, The Destiny 2 amplifier is Creek's latest high-end model and represents a significant improvement over the original, highly respected, Destiny amplifier, available in black or silver. It uses all the sound optimisation techniques and components collected by Mike Creek and his team of analogue electronics engineers during their many years in the Hi-Fi industry. It is designed to deliver enough power to suit a wide range of loudspeakers.
This stylish new amplifier is housed in an extruded aluminium case with fine brushed finish. It is available with either silver or black front panel and polished aluminium buttons, control knob and feet. It is designed to match the Destiny CD player and FM/AM tuner. All Creek products can be remotely controlled with a single SRC3 handset.

Creek OBH 11 Headphone Amplifier
|
List Price: $385.00
Our Price: $385.00 Visit Our Showroom For a Demo!
|
|
|
Creek OBH 11 Headphone Amplifier, The Creek OBH 11 headphone amplifier features technology taken from the award winning OBH21 and OBH22SE, yet simplifies it, in a purer and simpler model, which is ideal if you only need one headphone output. A seperate headphone amplifier is ideal replacement over the standard headphone socket on your hi-fi amplifier, which is usually a cheap last minute addition rather than a dedicated circuit designed to offer the best sound with your headphones. In contrast, the OBH11 has been designed to offer the very best sound with your headphones. You can connect the OBH11 to a line level source such as your CD player, DVD player, etc. (or through your amp using the pre out) to get excellent quality sound.

Creek OBH-18 MM Phono Pre-Amplifier
|
List Price: $455.00
Our Price: $455.00
|
|
|
Creek OBH-18 MM Phono Pre-Amplifier, With modern amplifiers expected to cater for so many new devices, the phono capability has frequently been one of the features to disappear. At Creek Audio, the engineering team has always been aware of the benefits of vinyl – that is why the company continues to provide a number of phono stage options.
The OBH-18 was released in late 2003. The function of the OBH-18 is to boost the level and correct the frequency response of a low level signal coming from a moving magnet phono pick-up on a conventional turntable. The signal required by most modern amplifiers is described as being 'LINE' level, which is, in technical terms, between 200 and 500 milli-Volts with a flat frequency response. Unless your amplifier has a specific 'Phono' or Disc input, the level will be too low and the frequency response will be wrong. The OBH-18 is designed to boost the signal and introduce an R.I.A.A. frequency response characteristic.
The OBH-18 looks the part too! Designed to complement the Creek range of amplifiers, tuners and CD players, the new OBH range features an impressive solid aluminium front panel in a silver finish. The remainder of the 150mm casing is black so the products all but disappear.

Creek OBH-21 Headphone Amplifier
|
List Price: $520.00
Our Price: $520.00 Visit Our Showroom For a Demo!
|
|
|
Creek OBH-21 Headphone Amplifier, The Creek OBH-21 headphone amplifier eliminates the need to use a full sized integrated amplifier to boost the audio signal when only headphones are used. An average output level CD player or tuner can be connected directly to the input of the headphone amplifier. This is much more convenient and can improve performance for headphone listening compared with larger integrated amplifiers.
The OBH-21 incorporates advanced circuitry utilising high grade op-amps for signal amplification, providing the capability to drive headphones with impedances ranging from 30 to 300 Ohms without a problem. Gain (level) will be greater for lower impedance headphones.
There are two 1/4" (6.3mm) stereo headphone jacks on the front panel. The matching impedance for each of these sockets is slightly different which allows for better individual matching. When using two sets of headphones, the impedance will be the same for both. The output level can be adjusted by an analogue volume potentiometer coupled to a solid metal control knob on the front panel. The OBH-21 has one pair of stereo inputs using stereo RCA (Phono) sockets on the rear panel. To make connection to another amplifier easier, there is another pair of sockets which can patch the input signal through to another amplifier. This is especially useful if the OBH-21 is used in series with the tape loop of a pre-amp or integrated amp. It is suitable for any line level analogue source.
In common with all electrical appliances, the OBH-21 requires a power source. A custom stand-alone Creek OBH-Uni power supply is provided that must be connected to the unit via the DC inlet on the rear panel. The mains power supply and connector plug will vary, depending on country of use. Inside the OBH-21, custom circuitry is used to convert the power supply from a single, positive rail, into a split positive and negative supply. Split-rail supplies can provide better Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMMR) which will improve the sound quality by reducing interference.
The OBH-21 uses two high-grade NE 5534 op-amp circuits for the amplifying stage and audio grade coupling capacitors in the signal path to block DC (direct current).
The OBH-21 can also be used in conjunction with other Creek OBH series products, such as Phono pre-amplifiers or the passive pre-amplifier. Furthermore, it can also function with a stand-alone pre-amplifier or integrated amplifier, connected in the tape loop or pre-amp output.
The OBH-21SE is a higher grade version of the standard OBH-21.
