What is the Staccato Black Unique BU-1 Amplifier?

What Makes It So Unique?

A combination of mil-spec oil filled capacitors and 4X Mundorf capacitors combined with 4X mil-spec air-core chokes for each channel.

What Makes a Capacitor/Choke Power Supply Better?

Nearly every solid-state amplifier on the market uses capacitive power supplies.

Capacitors only store voltage.

Voltage is the width of the river and current is the speed the water is flowing.

It makes no difference if they are Black Gate caps, Super caps, or capacitors reverse engineered from alien technology: the laws of physics still apply.

The more energy that a note requires, such as a belting vocal or a booming bass note, the more off time and off tune that note is from the rest of the music.

Chokes store current.

When you combine chokes with capacitors you get instantaneous energy transfer which allows all the notes to maintain proper time and tune.

This is nothing new: Western Electric and Bell Labs discovered this 100 years ago. Unless the laws of physics have changed in the past 100 years this still holds true.

The four cascaded levels of capacitors and chokes in the CLCLCLCLC typology in the Staccato Audio Black Unique BU-1 amplifier is insane overkill.

How Does It Sound?

Time and tune.

Flesh and breath.

Articulate yet fluid.

Effortless micro and macro dynamics.

Harmonics align from the lowest lows to the highest highs.

Tones, timbres, and textures chiseled deeply into a transparent background.

Spatial cues that define a holographic recording space.

Everything that makes music sound like music.

You won't believe your ears.
