AstinTrew AT1000/AT5000-Affordable pre/power amplifier from AstinTrew
The heart and soul of high quality audio amplification
begins with the pre-amplifier. The AT1000 valve pre-amplifier offers
you 6 input switching options - including MP3, through an easily accessed
input connector on the front facia. But more than that, the AT1000
also boasts a dedicated single-ended class A headphone amplifier,
for use with either 3.5mm or 6.4mm stereo jacks, offering high quality
personal listening. The quality electronics are housed in distinctively
designed aluminium casework, with a 6mm-thick front facia and anodised
finishes.

Astin Trew AT5000
The
AstinTrew AT5000 power amplifier has been designed to offer
true audiophile sound at a competitive price point. The design is
single-ended, using a valve, Schottky diodes and multiple power capacitors
offering a large 44 joule capacity per channel. The fully dual mono
construction, including 2 x 300VA transformers, gives speed, dynamics
and the lowest crosstalk. Short signal paths offer low signal degradation
and the outcome is a truly engaging audiophile sound with qualities
one would expect to find only in higher priced amplifiers. 50W into
8ohms and 100W into 4ohms output power will be loud enough for most
users and bi-amping with two AT5000’s is a cost effective upgrade.
AstinTrew AT2000- The Integrated amplifier from Astin Trew that sets the pace
Astintrew after the huge sales success of the AT1000 and AT5000 pre/power amplifiers soon turned their attention to developing an integrated amplifier, but this was to be no ordinary 2-channel inter grated hi-fi audio amplifier oh no, this amplifier was to be something really quite special.
The ASTINtrew AT2000 integrated amplifier combines a class A biased pre-amplifier stage and valve-assisted power amplifier electronics in a compact one-box package using Never Connected power supplies for all low-power circuits, offering stunning musicality at its price point. There is plenty of user flexibility and real audiophile sound. The quality electronics are housed in distinctively designed aluminium casework with a 6mm thick front fascia and anodised finishes.
Astin Trew AT2000 New Intergrated 2.1 System
October 17, 2008
UK based company Astin Trew have released a audiophile 2.1 system. The AT2000 integrated amplifier has a MOSFET power amplifier, and valve assisted power supply offering 65w into 8ohm.
First seen at this years Audio & AV Show Park Inn Heathrow, the unit has six inputs for all your Hi-Fi and Home cinema needs and all housed in distinctively designed aluminium casework with a 6mm thick front fascia and anodised finishes.
The Astin Trew AT2000 also has multi-room capabilities via a second room option with Balanced XLR and CAT5 outputs. Also on board you will find RS232 and IR remote control options to use with third party multi-room integration.
Astin Trew have also incorporated the latest generation Never Connected™ power supplies, for the pre-amplifier, balanced inputs and outputs and headphone amplifier; offering the lowest low noise floor, with a very natural sound.
Multi Room Feature
Remember, the Astin Trew AT2000 amplifier is not just great sounding, it allows your customer to have VERY high quality sound in a second room from main room sources - with a very easy home set up. This is achieved with cables that we can supply, pre-terminated with XLR or RJ45 plugs that connect between one AT2000 and another, allowing you to run the second amp as a passive amp for use in your second room. The benefit of this over some dedicated multi room systems is that you can enjoy the same high quality performance in a second room without a compromise on quality.

''The AT2000 has become one of my favorites,
if I had to recommend an amplifier in the 2000 euro range, this is
the one.''
''Astin Trew is becoming a very strong player at the market, very hard to beat''
''A very strong competition for the well known Naim's, Prima Luna's and Primare's. It reminds me the most of a good old Sugden design''
This way I could go on and on, 4 complete pages filled with comments like this. "
I am assured no money changed hands! It is always nice to receive
favorable reviews like this, but you must always listen yourself of
course. I wonder what this reviewer is going to make of the AT2000plus?!!
