The first appearance
of Pathos on the hi-fi scene did not go unnoticed: a short time after its
debut, the T.T. has achieved a solid position among those very few components
which contribute to writing the history of High-Fidelity. International audio
reviews welcomed the first product from Pathos with front page covers, highly
enthusiastic comments and numerous prestigious awards.
When
listening to music reproduced through a T.T. amplifier, everyone can experience
the honest difference in terms of musicality, transparency, tonal colour and
absence of listening fatigue. The reason why this difference can be
consistently and immediately appreciated is because the T.T. is different. This
difference is named INPOL®, the
exclusive worldwide patented pure Class A feedback-free circuitry which
has been claimed to represent the most important innovation in musical
amplification of the last years.
Highly
selected components, pure silver Pathos signal wiring, and craftsmanship of the
highest level are the most appropriate compliments to the T.T. reference sound.
Through the years, the TT has been constantly perfected and updated in order to
keep this living legend alive. Today the TT is available in its original volume configuration - a purely resistive 24-step manual volume control - and also
in a remote controlled version - an optical device which drives a battery of
read relays (vacuum packed, thorium contacts), which in turn drive a network of
precision resistors (1% metal layer) in 1dB steps.
The Pathos Twin Tower is available in three versions:
Classic
(C): manual 24 step resistive volume
Reference
Remote : (RR): remote resistive volume in 1dB steps
Anniversary
: like the TT RR with balanced input
