High-Fidelity Audio at Its Finest: The Advance Paris Brand

Explore Their Signature Integrated Amp and CD Player

At DomesAV, we recently introduced our showroom’s newest audio manufacturer, Advance Paris. Known for their uncompromising sound quality, they consistently transcend the boundaries of what’s possible in the realm of high-fidelity audio. 

In 2004, the company introduced its first integrated amplifier, laying the foundation for Advance Paris products. Today, this France-based audio manufacturer sells its equipment in more than 40 countries. Their gear is designed for the audio enthusiast, combining impeccable engineering with high-end aesthetics. Surprisingly, it also comes at a lower price point than expected. 

Here, we’ll explore two of their most popular products that deliver music as the creator intended: The A12 Classic Integrated Amplifier and the X-CD9 CD Player.

The A12 Classic Integrated Amplifier

Amplifiers are critical to the true reproduction of music. It’s their responsibility to boost the signal from the source, such as a turntable or CD player, so that the speakers produce audible sound. Several factors contribute to amps’ ability to perform this task well, including their power output and the ability to minimize distortion, faithfully reproducing the original recording. A good frequency response delivers precise detail, from the lowest bass to the highest treble. 

So, what makes the Advance Paris A12 Classic Integrated Amp so good? 

If Advance Paris had one flagship audio gear, this would be it. Their top-selling product is powerful and versatile, offering enough connectivity to run an entire media center for both analog and digital sources. 

With 190 watts of power per channel, this solution can easily drive large, floor-standing loudspeakers. Its dual mono configuration provides separate circuits for the right and left channels, resulting in crystal-clear detail and sound separation. 

This integrated amp also combines solid-state and tube technology. The former provides the power to drive the speakers, while the tubes on the preamp stage create a warm, smooth musical quality. 

Of course, high-performance audio isn’t just about how it sounds. How it looks carries significant weight. Described as retro-futuristic, the A12 has two true VU meters illuminated with electric blue backlighting. In the central window, two ECC81 preamp tubes create a warm, reddish glow. 

The X-CD9 CD Player

This high-fidelity CD player features dual miniature audio tubes and is renowned for its warm, analog-like sound. It provides richness and a fuller presentation often lacking in solid-state players. Central to its success is its WM8762 DAC chip, a sophisticated digital-to-analog converter that preserves the details and nuances of the original recording.

As with the A12 Classic Integrated Amplifier, it offers a high level of audio quality at an unexpected price point. It also provides both digital and analog outputs.

What does it all come down to? Your CDs never sounded so good.

At DomesAV, we’re excited to bring this remarkable brand to the Coastal Virginia and Eastern North Carolina areas. Of course, words alone can never fully explain high-performance audio designed to produce an immersive listening experience, capturing all the details and nuances of the original recording.
