With five analog inputs, it offers plenty of connection options for various audio sources. There is also the option to add an MM phono or DAC card, making it easy to customize the device to meet specific needs. A notable feature is the ability to upgrade the power supply with the Obelisk X2, resulting in a dual-mono system for enhanced performance. The amplifier uses Transcap technology, which contributes to a dynamic and detailed sound. With its compact size and modular design, the Obelisk Si mk3 is an attractive choice for enthusiasts of high-quality audio equipment.     <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-header\"><span class=\"spec-content\"><strong>Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-even\"><span class=\"spec-content\">Designed by chief engineer Zsolt Huszti, the Heed Obelisk Si mk3 reflects Heed&#8217;s philosophy of musicality over technical specifications. This integrated amplifier uses discrete components instead of opamps, has a dual-mono internal construction and uses high-quality internal wiring. The enclosure is compact, with a minimalist design, and assembly is done in Europe with carefully selected components, mostly from the EU.  <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-header\"><span class=\"spec-content\"><strong>Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-even\"><span class=\"spec-content\">Heed Audio is a Hungarian company that designs and manufactures high-quality audio equipment. The company has revived the Ion Obelisk, a compact amplifier from the 1980s, by modernizing its design and internal components. In addition, Heed Audio has developed the Elixir integrated amplifier, which combines four main functions: a dedicated output preamplifier, a powerful power amplifier, a phono preamplifier for MM cartridges and a high-quality headphone amplifier. The company uses Transcap technology, a non-direct-coupled amplifier technology that uses an output capacitor to ensure fast and accurate power delivery to the speakers. Heed Audio manufactures its equipment by hand in Europe and pays attention to every detail, from the soldering of the circuit boards to the fine tuning of the volume knob.    <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Freakuence!
