darTZeel CTH-8550 MK II Integrated Amplifier
The CTH-8550 embodies everything that an integrated amplifier should be:
Compact, practical, versatile, musical, elegant and powerful.
Until recently, integrated amplifiers only achieved distinction despite trade-offs in design.
Most integrated amplifiers have been built under budget and pricing constraints that leave little room for high performance.
That's why darTZeel is proud to present the CTH-8550, the first integrated amplifier without compromise.
With its dual-mono architecture, 50-ohm Zeel inputs, optional high-quality phono stages and remarkable versatility, the darTZeel CTH-8550 is the integrated amplifier of choice for audio enthusiasts.
CTH-8550: at the heart of the music
With up to nine analogue inputs for RCA, XLR and Zeel 50-ohm cables, all sources including turntables are accommodated.
Boasting ample power reserve capacity, a wide range of functional features and unrivalled ease of use, the CTH-8550 is the most complete integrated amplifier in its field.
