Until recently, an integrated amplifier was
not usually considered a valid choice for high-end audio reproduction.

This is because nearly all integrated amplifiers on the market have been built to price points that require too many concessions in circuit design and in parts quality, leading to lackluster sound. To buck this trend, we are proud to offer the darTZeel CTH-8550, an integrated amplifier built without sonic compromise.

With its dedicated dual-mono amplification sections, its Zeel inputs, its gratifyingly excellent phono stages (optional), and remarkable versatility, the CTH-8550 is the most capable integrated amplifier one could dream up.

We estimate that the CTH-8550 offers eighty-five percent of the perceived performance of its NHB-series ancestors, but at a very substantial cost savings. We have little doubt the words Close to Heaven have never sounded so true.

Control at the finger

The remote control is machined from the aluminum billet like a gold ingot, and insures the owner the listening session will be fun.

With nine analog inputs, including 1 XLR and 2 Zeel BNC 50-ohm inputs, as well as 2 optional phono inputs, any source will find its place.

With a reserve of power to tame the toughest speakers, the darTZeel CTH-8550 integrated analog amplifier is the most complete in its category.
