The Aavik U-188 Amplifier is available for demonstration in our Hull store by request.
The Aavik U-188 Amplifier is part of the groundbreaking U-x88 range, combining a streamer, DAC, line stage, and power amplifier in one meticulously designed enclosure. Inspired by Aavik’s flagship 880-series, it delivers state-of-the-art musical performance with minimal signal loss, zero hysteresis, and unrivaled resonance control.
Exceptional Design
Created through the collaboration of Gryphon Audio founder Flemming Erik Rasmussen and Aavik’s Michael Børresen, the Aavik U-188 Amplifier blends Scandinavian design elegance with cutting-edge technical innovation, ensuring both beauty and performance.
Seamless All-in-One Integration
Unlike traditional separates, the U-188 integrates high-resolution streaming, an advanced DAC, precision line stage, and powerful amplification in a single chassis. This unified design minimizes distortion and maximizes musical transparency.
Advanced Class D Technology
Powered by the latest Pascal Class D platform, the U-188 employs faster UMAC switching modulation, lower output impedance, and reduced noise filtering. This results in superior speaker control, dynamic accuracy, and consistent performance across all genres.
Active Tesla Coil Technology
The Aavik U-188 employs active Tesla coils to reduce noise and enhance clarity. These coils are three to four times more effective than passive versions, ensuring a lower noise floor and more lifelike sound reproduction.
Active Square Tesla Coils
Integrated directly into the circuit boards, these advanced coils further eliminate electromagnetic interference, providing unmatched signal purity and musical detail.
Analog Dither Technology
The third-generation analog dither system sends precise anti-phase signals that reduce background noise and enhance micro-detail. Originally developed for radar, this technology expands the soundstage and improves musical realism.
Anti-Aerial Resonance Coil
All cables act as antennas for airborne RF noise. The Aavik U-188 counters this problem with anti-aerial resonance coils, protecting signals and ensuring clean, interference-free playback.
Why Choose the Aavik U-188?
For audiophiles seeking an elegant, all-in-one solution that doesn’t compromise on performance, the Aavik U-188 Amplifier sets a new benchmark. With unrivaled integration, advanced noise reduction technologies, and stunning design, it delivers an emotionally engaging listening experience.
