The Lanus Geminae is a breakthrough product in terms of ultimate sonic performance combined with power delivery. Convention solid state amplification can have high current delivery but sadly looses much of musics emotion and realism in the process. We set a goal of completely avoiding such shortcomings. Not only that, we were determined to combine current delivery with the superb sonic performance of a SOTA Single Ended Triode design. This has been attempted before by other manufacturers, but in our opinion, has not been fully realised until the realise of the Aries Cerat Lanus amplifiers.

This is a Class A amplifier using a floating circlotron and TriodeFet elements as output stage devices. Power delivery is 130W @8ohm 260W @4ohm while never leaving true Class A operation, even at very low loads. In contrast to the majority of “Class A” amplifiers, (which are biased at 1-3A max) where they only deliver a fraction of their rated power in Class A mode, the Geminae is a true Class A design. The active elements never go into cutoff even at full power into a 4ohms load.

The input stage is a transformer-coupled small SET amplifier based on the E280F supertube,loaded with a specially designed transformer,with geometrically and electrically balanced windings.

It is powered by its separate tube rectified-double choke filtered PSUs and low noise negative bias system. The input stage drives the TriodeFet stage by floating secondaries of the coupling transformer, so the floating/self-balancing nature of the output stage is not affected. The amplifier is fully adjustable on-the-fly.
