Musical Evidence
With Advance Paris’ new A10 CLASSIC amplifier, their goal was to offer an audiophile integrated amplifier inspired by the famous X-i1100, praised for its musicality and liveliness. The A10 is fully integrated into the future and easy to use. While its classic design remains timeless, it combines an ECC81/12AT7 tube preamplifier with a Class AB push-pull amplifier. In short, the best of both worlds!

Microprocessor
Modernity is also displayed thanks to a microprocessor that manages all the functions called by the encoder wheel, a long or short press allows access to the menus.
Inputs
We can scroll through the inputs: 6 analog on RCA with a MM phono with three capacity settings (100, 200, 320 pf), a balanced line on XLR, 5 digital including 3 optical, an S / PDIF and an audio USB, plus a connector for an aptX XFTB01 or XFTB02 bluetooth receiver (sold separately).
A USB-A socket accepts MP3 audio files from a portable player or USB stick. Two HDMI sockets, one for a DVD to benefit from the audio signal quality of the A10 and an HDMI ARC to connect a CEC protocol screen, can be activated in the system configuration menu.
Trigger In/Out
The trigger In/Out input controls the switching on and off of the A10 remotely, or from it to another device connected by the minijacks.
Subwoofer Output
The A10 offers the possibility of connecting two subwoofers. A Pre-Out output allows you to connect an additional power amplifier.
Recording Output
A fixed Rec Out output is intended for a recorder such as a cassette player, MD, or other.
High Bias Switch
The High Bias switch activates the Class A bias on the first watts of the power stage.
