Feliks Audio Elise Mark II

 

 

“Bridging the gap between the mega headphone amps and the budget contenders, the Elise has way more in common with the top of the list. And the sound will take your breath away.”

 

The Mark II version of the Elise takes this hugely popular headphone amp and makes it even better.

New in the Elise Mk II

• The power supply has been beefed up for more stable working parameters
• Improved internal shielding and transformer wiring to better protect from AC mains interference
• A revised cathode module that improves sound on all output parameters
• Improved thermal management and more efficient passive cooling results in 60% lower operating temperatures for improved longevity and output stability

The Elise is a high-end output transformer-less (OTL) headphone amplifier and preamplifier featuring Psvane 6SN7 and 6N13S tubes. Amongst the Feliks line, the Elise falls in a sonic middle ground between euphonic coloration and detail retrieval. No sonic information is lost, and the signature is sonorously musical, with a focused soundstage and poignant vocal presentation with excellent extension.

Whether you’re trying to tame slightly bright headphones without smearing over the resolution of your source, or you’re seeking out something that will add a touch of warmth and vibrancy to your system, the Feliks is a highly capable amplifier for a wide range of headphones.

Elise offers a dynamic sound stage and superb level of detail with the typical “tube feel”. The amplifier is a fully proprietary design, built from high quality, carefully selected components, allowing it to deliver exceptional sound quality on a broad range of headphones, even low-impedance ones (32 ohm). Alternatively, Elise can be used as a pre-amp for both tube and solid-state amplifiers.
