Carefully tailored to deliver uncompromised power, Voltikus  helps Zodiac achieve the punch and sonic richness of deep lows, a full  range of mids, and tightly defined highs. This degree of performance is  accomplished by incorporating a hefty, custom-wound, electrostatically  shielded toroidal transformer followed by a unique concept of three  cascaded power regulators. A precision laser-trimmed voltage reference  (LT1021) serves as the backbone of this discrete design, achieving the  stability impossible with off-the-shelf voltage regulators. Voltikus is a  true engineering breakthrough from Antelope's respected team of  high-end audio experts. \u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e    \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudiophile grade PSU perfectly matching Zodiac DACs in aesthetics and performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique multi-stage linear regulator topology achieves vastly superior stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToroidal transformer with custom electrostatic shield suppresses power line disturbances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround \/ Lift switch helps eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide (90-250V) input voltage range ensures dependable operation under varying line conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced discrete design dispenses with the need for noisy off-the-shelf voltage regulators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust sturdy construction with custom machined aluminum front panel \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Antelope Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449440596071,"sku":"17123","price":4495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/antelope_zodiac_gold_remote_psu_38baa698-1044-470e-84ec-de07392d7bd3.jpg?v=1787088967","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/antelope-audio-zodiac-gold-w-remote-voltikus-power-supply","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
