A New Purist Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier
Artemis Labs SP-1

The Artemis Labs SP-1 Stereo Power Amplifier is a no-compromise purist design. It is designed to get the most from the “super 300Bs” such as the KR 300BXLS and Full Music 300B+, delivering from 13 to 18 watts (depending on the tube type) of clean single-ended power. Careful power supply filtering and regulation of critical voltages ensure stable, quiet operation. All aspects of the design were done by John Atwood of One Electron™.

Given that the SP-1 amplifier puts out about 15 watts per channel, it must be used with relatively efficient loudspeakers. The minimum efficiency required depends on many factors including room size, room absorbtion, preffered listening levels, etc., but in general, an efficiency of 90dB or higher per watt at 1 meter is needed. Work with your dealer for the best speaker combination for your listening set-up.
