Cyber-100 15th anniversary integrated amplifiers
With full remote control

Cyber 100 15th anniversary special edition !
After many successful years of strong sales with the incredible
M100 range, the designers decided to design something special
for the companies 15 year anniversary, using all the lessons learnt
over the years. So in 2008, Opera audio, using feedback from
their satisfied M100 users, and input from most of their long
time distributors, worked together to develop a 15th anniversary
amplifier that would epitomise the special concept of what a push-pull
pentode integrated amp should sound like.
This pursuit resulted in the Cyber100-15 th Anniversary Edition,
which has a musical purity and the most natural reproduction of
sound an affordable integrated amp can possibly achieve.
This amp has a superb and enchanting midrange, with the harmonic
balance that Opera Audio has always strived for, and possesses
an extraordinarily smooth balance throughout the spectrum, providing
a stronger impression of live music. The exterior of the previous
Cyber 100 signature has been modified with an aluminium top cage,
walnut wood deck and a 15th anniversary logo.
Self-biasing KT88/ 6550 works in Class A, UL operation, with a
well designed NOS 5687 drive stage, and a time-proven rectifier
circuit consisting of the 5AR4 EH rectifier tubes and Philips
electrolytic capacitors (for audio). Every component chosen has
been carefully selected for superior audio clarity. This even
applies for the German made power switch. After all, KT88/6550s
are not triodes, but if properly applied in a circuit with 35
push-pull watt output, they can exhibit a surprisingly linearity,
resulting in a musical performance approaching that of the real
thing - something you'd expect from triode units running in single-ended
mode, but with superior power, dynamics and authority.

Greg Osborn Comments.
I was intrigued to see if anything could sound better than
the M100+. This amp has always been the mainstay of my systems
and has sold me 100s of pairs of speakers. Most accompanied by
the amp as well. However my hopes have been realised. The 15th
Anniversary model has all the strengths of the M100 range, but
even better clarity, soundstage and definition. The design philosophy
behind this amp is the same as used by Stereo Knight in the quite
awesome M-100 Monoblocks (Similar name, but no relation to the
Consonance)
