Technology |
|
The old Kharma
philosophy "Reality as a Reference" requires no-compromise
products, including only no-compromise components. This means
that when silver-gold wires sound best; we use them. Also it
means that if they sound even better after a time-temperature
controlled process whereby the structure of the material is
altered, we will use this process. It means that if we cannot
find binding-posts that don't live up to our standards, we
will develop them ourselves.
When a diamond
cone for a tweeter has got the best specs of all materials on
earth and really nothing sounds better: we use them. The so
called underhung system turned out to be a way of creating a
way higher efficiency. And so we combined this with these
diamond cones.
High Pressure Laminate because of the weight and other
properties is best fit for creating a loudspeaker cabinet we
don't mind using it, especially not in combination with
several types of massive woods.
But; all this not
for it's own sake, but only to serve the purpose of
re-creating reality, right in your own home.

Matrix
MP 150
Amplifier |
|
 |
| |
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
"The Matrix MP150 amplifier is a proprietary
switching amplifier It uses a unique pulse control
scheme that takes feedback only from the speaker
terminals. No feedback loop from the switching
output is used. The result is extremely low output
impedance over the entire bandwidth. Damping
factor is >400 up to 2kHz and >100 at 20kHz. The
frequency response is DC-50kHz (+0,-3dB) and is
completely independent of the load impedance. THD
and IMD are very low (<0.02%) and completely
independent of frequency, like a good
zero-feedback amplifier.
The
amplifier operates without an oscillator which
removes all problems associated with oscillator
jitter. This translates into very good SNR >
110dB. Construction is entirely using discrete
transistors and FETs. Input impedance: 220K!" |

Enigma
Cables |
|
 |
| |
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
"The upper high-end line of Kharma's cable-line
offers the very best a man might request. The
wiring is made of a super quality alloy of pure
silver/gold. The whole product is being
cryogenically treated in a chamber cooled down to
-313 Fahrenheit in a time/temperature controlled
process. The net result is an increase in
resolution and a lowering of the noisefloor to an
incredible level.
A massive screening
protects the cable from high frequency
interferences and a massive electromechanical
damping kills the microphonic feedback also
lowering the noisefloor. The connectors made out
of pure silver/gold. The Kharma Enigma Loudspeaker
cables are the perfect fit to the new Kharma
Connectors.
The Enigma
cables-line exists of a Loudspeaker Cable, a
Bi-Wire Loudspeaker Cable, an Analog Interconnect,
a Digital Interconnect, a Phono Cable, a Power
Cable and a new FireWire cable." |
