The Creek
4240 is an Integrated Amplifier of the highest caliber, designed and
manufactured inthe U.K. The 4240 employs exclusive and novel circuit
techniques believed by its elegantly simple appearance. The 4240 is the new
benchmark for integrated sound and
value. With the 4240, Creek engineers used CAD (Computer Aided Design) to
update the classic Creek 4040 and 4140. You have complete control of your
system through four line inputs plus a tape loop. A high quality Creek phono
stage (MM or MC) is an optional add-on for playback of conventional records.
External
connections for access to the preamp or power amp stages provide unique
possibilities. You can bi-amp your speakers by adding the matching Creek A42
power amp. Two pairs of 4 mm speaker
sockets provide switched output when headphones are used, or direct
output. Jointly, the double connections
make bi-wiring extremely convenient.
The superior
sound quality of the 4240 comes from numerous design techniques including DC
coupling of its preamp and power amp. This is achieved by removing all sound
degrading capacitors from the signal path and using advanced DC servo
circuitry. MOS-FET driver and output power transistors insure a high level of
performance and reliability not found at this price.
With the
4240 Creek continues to prove that accurate, full bodied sound can be truly
affordable.
