The Advance Paris A10 Classic is a high-quality musical integrated with tube pre-amplification.

Key Features:

Best of Both Worlds

The A10 Classic combines an ECC81/12AT7 tube pre-amplifier for all the warmth that tubes are revered for. There is a 2x130W class AB push-pull amplifier for the control and dynamics you need to make your speakers sound their very best.

It may be a Classic, but it's modern

Modernity is also displayed thanks to a microprocessor which manages all the functions called up by the encoder wheel, a long or short press allow easy access to the menus. Nothing was left to chance, the A10 Classic was painstakingly designed to offer ease of use and exhaustive connectivity.

All the right connections

The A10 offers a plethora of inputs and outputs. They have literally though of everything from 6 analog inputs including XLR, a MM phono stage, 3 Toslink digital inputs, USB and one optical, two optical and a USB. Add HDMI ARC and (2) sub outputs to round things out.

THE MUSICAL EVIDENCE

With our A10 CLASSIC amplifier, our goal was to offer a modern integrated amplifier inspired by the famous X-i1100, hailed by audiophiles for its musicality and liveliness. The A10 is fully future-proof and easy to use. Although its classic design remains timeless, it combines an ECC81/12AT7 tube preamplifier with a 2x130W class AB push-pull amplifier. In short, the best of both worlds!

Modernity is also displayed thanks to a microprocessor which manages all the functions called up by the encoder wheel, a long or short press allow easy access to the menus. The A10 offers many inputs including 5 pairs of RCA analog, 1 pair of balance XLR and an MM phono with three capacitance settings (200, 320, 5 pf). There are 3 Toslink digital inputs, one coaxial digital, as well as USB. There is a connector for an optional aptX XFTB01 or aptX HD XFTB02 Bluetooth receiver.

The A10 offers two HDMI inputs, including one for a source device and an HDMI ARC to connect a television for two way communication. A USB-A socket accepts compatible audio files from an external drive or USB key. Connections are provided for two pairs of speakers (A, B or A+B), Settings for bass, treble, loudness or bypass (direct) are available, Defeatable auto standby mode from 5-90 minutes. The unit can be activated on from another device and also can turn on up to two other devices using triggers.

The A10 offers the possibility of connecting two subwoofers. A Pre-Out output allows you to connect an additional power amp. A fixed Record output is intended for a cassette player, MD or other type of recorder. At the rear, the High Bias switch activates Class A bias on the first few watts of the power stage. The A10 offers an amazing value with it's impressive array of features coupled with excellence in musical performance.
An all out superstar!
