Silbatone Acoustics - Authorised Distributor
Silbatone Acoustics is the Home of NeoHyb Technology, presenting New Audio Classics for the 21st Century Lifestyle. Silbatone aims to develop world's finest audio gear and approach design in a much more balanced way.
At Silbatone Acoustics, we employ various exotic core materials, including finemet and permalloy and pure silver, alloy, or copper wire depending on application. One of the elements that set Silbatone equipment apart from the rest is our unique in-house developed and wound silver foil transformers. These transformers are a major reason that Silbatone amplifiers do not sound like typical vacuum tube amplifiers.

It stands to reason that the best tube audio gear must be built using the best tubes. Most high-end manufacturers rely on current production tubes from Eastern Europe, Russia, and China. Since Silbatone is not a mass manufacurer and we are reaching a bit higher, our production is based on selected NOS tubes from top American and European manufacturers, including rare Western Electric, Bendix, Telefunken, and RCA specimens.

Built to high Silbatone standards, it features a broadcast-grade 40 step Tokyo Ko-on attenuator and a 7044 output buffer configuration that is actually one generation beyond the Mk.II output stage. Input and output transformers are used for maximum isolation and optimal drive.

The L107 features four inputs -- 2x balanced and 2x unbalanced - with both balanced and unbalanced outputs available for optimal system building extensiblity.
The L-101 is a marvel in circuit simplicity. Asilver wire input transformer allows for balanced or unbalanced inputs. A 64 step relay-switched silver wire nickel core autoformer provides adjustable gain trim to establish proper system sensitivity. A Western Electric 262B small signal triode is the primary active device in the signal path, configured in a novel “zero volt in, zero volt out” structure which is directly coupled, requiring no signal capacitors at input or output.
Silbatone DA-107 is a High resolution, transformer-coupled DSD Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) with tube output analog stage. Roon-ready, featuring multiple digital inputs including Ethernet, AES/EBU, S/PIDIF, USB and optical.

For output, it has both RCA and balanced XLR. Two low noise toroidal transformers are used for the power supply unit, this reduces interference to the electronics. Line outputs are coupled with signal transformers.

Chassis uses milled aluminum panels of different thickness to break up resonances.

All vacuum tubes supplied are genuine vintage NOS.

For convenient organization of your analog life, the SQ-107 features MM and MC inputs with selectable 7x/16x gain step up transformer. 5MV for 1V out MM input sensitivity, very usable for outboard transformers. Balanced and unbalanced transformer isolated output jacks are provided. A flexible central hub to moderate the complexities of the phono wing of any advanced phono setup!

The L-107 and the SQ-107 are a team made in heaven for the analog lover seeking very high levels of performance in a moderately-priced suite of electronics, built the Silbatone way.

The Silbatone NeoHyb circuit was intended to give more juice to make speakers come alive. We take the wonderful-but-low power 275A, and with our current multiplier arrangement, the P105 can produce a potent 8 Watts of musical bliss! Low output impedance, plenty of drive for real world loads, and the harmonic characteristics are an exact match for the standalone tube. Pure 275A sound! We outfitted it with a really excellent 12AY7 driver stage using select types of 1950s NOS tubes and we designed a special foil transformer with a Hitachi Finemet double C core. Operating points are chosen to ensure stress-free operation and long life for the NOS antique output tubes.

The P107M Amplifier is entirely direct coupled, using an input transformer, a WE 310A triode voltage amplifier, and a unique I/V converter topology that sidesteps the soul-crushing issues usually encountered when trying to drive solid state output stages with vacuum tubes. The eliminations of coupling capacitors is achieved via sophisticated and stable servo level shifting methods that we perfected in earlier top-line designs. Basically, we reset the dialogue on high-power hybrid amplifiers by opening a completely new chapter in the history of the field.
