6vs Integrated Amplifier This affordable integrated amplifier boasts an impressive range of abilities. Amongst these is the uncanny skill to present a 3 dimensional audio picture of the recorded performance, along with surprisingly powerful dynamics for such a compact amplifier. The Cyrus 6 circuitry benefits from most of the development work of its larger sibling Cyrus 8vs. Although we have accomplished significant savings by installing a smaller power supply in the 6vs, the main boards are almost identical. Once our customers experience a system of this quality they often consider upgrading to the next level of performance and the Cyrus 6vs can easily be upgraded by our factory. You simply return your Cyrus 6vs to our Huntingdon service facility where it is upgraded to full Cyrus 8vs specification. The charge for this upgrade is only slightly more than the difference in price between the amps to cover labour and shipping. The amp includes our latest VS preamp topology. 40 w/ch. Pre-out/power-in. Remote control. High quality headphone output. Price: $1699.00 CD6s CD Player The Cyrus 6 performs at the very top of its price class and is upgradeable. Once you've enjoyed your CD 6 for a while you may be tempted to upgrade it to full CD8x specification for little more than the deference in original purchase prices. This flexibility offers unprecedented levels of future upgradeability. In a world of instant obsolescence the Cyrus upgrade path ensures many years of valuable use from your investment. 24 bit DAC. Remote. Optical output. Price: $1699.00 8vs2 Integrated Amplifier The advanced Cyrus 8vs amplifier is the latest development of the internationally acclaimed Cyrus integrated amplifier family. Given a top quality source the Cyrus 8vs will paint a truly 3 dimensional acoustic picture with stunningly focused staging of images. Over the last 20 years Cyrus has learned to tune each section of the musical range accurately, so today the Cyrus 8vs is able to faithfully recreate the subtle balance between the length of single notes and tonal accuracy. 70 w/ch. Pre-out/power-in. Remote control. High quality headphone output. Price: $2399.00 CD8x CD Player The CD8x incorporates new technology that provides outstanding dynamics, rhythm (timing) and pin sharp resolution, yet can reproduce the soaring beauty of the most sophisticated aria.Ê Internally the revised power supply design features twin custom made transformers each feeding individual highly regulated power supplies which in turn feed the 11 separate sections of the player. The new CD 8x player is designed to allow our customers to advance further up the performance ladder of the Cyrus range. The "x" signifies that this model should be considered to sit between the 8 series model range and our X series. The CD 8x's outstanding performance can be expanded by adding a Cyrus PSX-R power supply, which will further enhance audio resolution. 24 bit current output with fully balanced analogue filter topology. SPDIF Coaxial and optical digital outputs. Price: $2799.00 Pre-Xvs2 Pre-amplifier The Pre Xvs was specially developed around a new Cyrus circuit incorporating our latest "Virtual Servo" or 'VS' preamp. The development of the new Pre Xvs provides many advancements over the previous model such as faster dynamics and larger scale to the acoustic image with a quieter background behind the music (which we describe during our listening tests as the black with the music being the colours painted over the background). The new Pre Xvs is a specially developed control unit to partner our range of matching mono and stereo power amps. Featuring a huge power supply, finely tuned power regulation stages and our most detailed acoustic circuit tuning; the Pre Xvs manages to combine outstanding performance with simple intuitive operation. Some of the more advanced features are hidden from immediate view. These include our intuitive speed sensing volume knob, individual input sensitivity and a high quality headphone circuit that allows you to leave your headphones permanently connected. Price: $2950.00 Smartpower Power Amplifier SmartPower is the ideal partner for Cyrus hi-fi and AV systems. It is an extremely flexible power amplifier that can evolve from 60wpch into a powerful 110w mono amplifier. As you upgrade your hi-fi system SmartPower evolves to meet your demands, adding power and finesse with each upgrade. You may run your new amp in stereo or mono, with or without the matching PSX-R. Uniquely this chameleon-like quality is achieved without loss of performance so common with lesser bridgeable amps. Auto start and auto power down plus built in (MC-BusT) system control compatibility make this a truly smart power amp, ideal for AV and multiroom systems and extremely useful as systems are upgraded. 60 w/ch, bridgeable to 105 watts in mono. Price: $1799.00 Mono X Power amplifiers at this level of performance are more usually behemoths of iron and unnecessarily flashy styling. The Mono X is a dynamic mono amp conservatively rated at 150 Watts. However the dynamic power of the amp is capable of burst output (such as occurs in all music programmes) of over 1500 watts. This dynamic amplifier requires a very special design to successfully provide the immense power required for a system sound as close to the original performance as possible. The power and subtlety of the Mono X combine to make it one of the world's most able hi-fi amplifiers. 150 watts, 1500 peak. 80 amps peak current. Price: $3499.00 each AV 8 Digital AV Pre-amplifier Allows the permanent connection of DVD-A or SACD players 5.1 output. This understated preamp is possibly the most advanced AV processor of its type. The AV 8 heralds the demise of complex spaghetti ridden AV systems which sound ok with movies but terrible with music. The AV8 makes no compromises with either. Four co-axial digital. Two optical (TOSLINK). Three stereo analogue inputs. 5.1 channel input. Calibration microphone. Price: $3199.00 DVD8 DVD Player Building on the highly-regarded DVD 7, the engineers decided to evaluate components in the video circuit and tune them in the same way Cyrus would approach the fine-tuning of one of our amplifiers. Picture quality is astonishing because the image manages to retain detail in light and dark sections even under high contrast conditions. The picture boasts natural skintones and superb 3-D bite, offering the best possible picture quality. The component output provides extremely high quality and is compatible with the best projector and plasma screens. Price: $3350.00 PSX-R Power Supply Many of our components can be further improved by adding this regulated power supply. Like a giant battery, it feeds the sensitive circuitry with highly regulated power thus allowing you to realize the maximum performance from the system. Lower noise, more detail and greater dynamics.
