$399.00 - Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Picollo
The Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Picollo is a very compact analog headphone amplifier. It has a single input and output.
The Picollo can last up to 24+ hours on a single charge which is AMAZING for portable audio setups. Charging is micro USB 5v so you can charge from a computer or normal USB charger.
This is a unique and “old school” design and no op amps are used. It was designed using matched sets of triodes (a total of 10 pairs) in a discrete component layout.
The Discrete Component Advantage
The Picollo design is unique with 10 pairs of triodes to perform the amplification, without the use of op amps. It has a very quiet background, suitable for IEM's, yet it's also very powerful for large headphones too. The improvement in audio, even from a headphone jack, is amazing.
The advantage of discrete component:
1. no unnecessary components with minimal interference
2. better quality components, more power
3. high resolution sound
The disadvantage of discrete component:
1. more space and more power-consuming
2. hard to design portable circuit
3. triodes must be precise matched: output triodes are hand selected
4. each amp must be hand-tuned, very time and labor consuming
Very large output spread supports ultra sensative IEM's and large headphones:
low gain -12db, mid gain, high gain +11.5db
CNC machined aluminum enclosure, with laser engraving
