Cyrus’ Stereo 200 power amplifier is the first hybrid power amplifier to be launched from this new platform, incorporating a traditional Cyrus power supply design with a low noise toroidal transformer, married with a new, high power, class D output device.

Unique Hybrid Design

Delivering a herculean 2 x 200 watts into 6 O from the single ½ width Cyrus die-cast aluminium chassis, this amplifier is intended to fit in the range between the X-Power and the Mono X 200 Signature. A new 200 watts per channel stereo power amplifier using a unique hybrid design, this high-quality power amp provides immense power from a very compact chassis. An ideal match with Stream XP or Pre DAC models.

Stereo 200 is a high-performance power amplifier incorporating a new and unique Cyrus topology that combines the benefits of high efficiency and lower heat generation from a digital output stage with highly refined analogue power supply design. This combination provides enormous continuous power, zero feedback technology and superb dynamics.

Reducing Microphony

The negative physical impact of vibration on an electrical component. This can be microphonic and caused by the environment or just the music playing in the room transferring energy into a poorly made lightweight chassis, and thereby into the capacitors and other susceptible components. Unlike valves where taping the glass component was directly audible, microphonic influence on solid state electronics has an effect more like blurring the sound. The Cyrus chassis is inverted allowing Cyrus to ‘hang’ the transformer inside the chassis helping to improve further the inherent ‘deadness’ of the cast chassis.

Die-Cast Chassis

Electrical components inductively couple their electromechanical field into the ferrous steel used in all low-cost chassis, which in turn inductively influences all the other components. Cyrus’ choice of aluminium for custom pressure die-cast chassis means circuits are unaffected by inductive loops and therefore the high performance, close tolerance components specified perform optimally in a quieter environment.

Low Power Standby

Despite the high power specification of Stereo 200, the amplifier consumes less than 0.5 watt, power consumption, in standby state
