Reviews

"With the Armageddon, SAEQ has built a serious powerhouse and TOTL contender for those looking for a high-end headphone amplifier. Each time when I read a show report, I see how many people are impressed by the Armageddon's performance. I fully see (and hear) where that is coming from and as I said before, the amp's tuning is so easy to like that I am sure SAEQ will sell many of these."

SAEQ Audio Armageddon Review - Headfonia Reviews

 

The powerhouse

The ARMAGEDDON amplifier represents the pinnacle of the high-fidelity audio experience. This exquisitely designed device represents the pinnacle of high-end audio reproduction and quality hardware and owes its name to the incredible transformation it brings in audio presentation effects. With a keen eye for aesthetics, the ARMAGEDDON's front panel exudes the brilliance of a fundamentally new sound and a new beginning.

The ARMAGEDDON amplifier offers unparalleled authentic sound reproduction that creates the impression of being at a live music performance. It allows you to immerse yourself in the most amazing sound details, with a resolution and relaxation that form an incredible synergy. The ARMAGEDDON builds on the esteemed heritage of our renowned HYPERION Ge model, enhancing your audio experience with clearer details and finer spatial representation.

Listeners perceive the ARMAGEDDON as the sound of a first-class tube amplifier, characterized by minimal coloration and a rich sound. The contours of the tones are full and clear, offering a world of new perceptions.

This comprehensive performance is achieved through discrete components, including a powerful output stage with a total power dissipation of 300W per channel, a pure Class A drive stage and a selective selection of components for the finest audio presentation, making it a top-class amplifier awards.

The high-impedance single-end input stage with FET transistors, combined with high-gain potential components, ensures a detailed sound representation. A 24-stage attenuator with special metal oxide resistors ensures a channel balance error of no more than 0.2 dB. The microdynamics and impulse response create the illusion of the most expensive tube amplifiers and an incredible spatial representation.

The ARMAGEDDON requires the highest class of sound sources and connection cables to open the way to the live sound stage for you to enjoy the incredible details and creation of the real space illusion of music. After experiencing ARMAGEDDON, your perception of sound quality will change forever. The moment you hear it, it becomes your new world - a world of no return.
