After having successfully introduced the award winning NHB series, darTZeel is now very proud to announce the new CTH-86600 full featured integrated amplifier. This new product combines in one casing most of the good things musical lovers found in our flagship series. The CTH-8660 features a newly designed power output stage - one per channel - which includes on board regulated power supplies for a very compact global layout. This new circuit brings outstanding transparency, speed, yet delicacy, giving a maximum listening pleasure. With no less than nine inputs in total, the preamplifier section is dual-mono one circuit per channel - with a minimal footprint which allows for very short signal paths. No doubt that this newcomer is a true darTZeel machine.
