i802 - 80wpc Integrated
i802 - 80wpc Integrated
The i802 is a slight step up in power, functionality, and upgrade path in comparison to the i800. Coming in at 80 watts per channel, this integrated amplifier can handle most bookshelf speakers and some efficient floor standing speakers.
Each i802 is custom built to order with point to point wiring for the best connection and clearest transmission of signal. The power supply features solid core 14ga copper conductors for high current capability that allows the amplifier to have more power and authority than the 80w rating would suggest. Also characteristic of all Gilbert Yeung designs, the i802 is thoughtfully braced and dampened throughout with the artful application of silicone, no need for further isolation products as every detail has been considered including the resonance of the chassis panels.

Features
Controls are limited and simple, the main focus being only the music and on the sound. The three unbalanced inputs are selectable from the front mechanical switch for the best connection with no logic circuitry or relays in the signal path. A 4 pole, 3 position switch is used for the selector so that each channel has two points of contact, further improving the flow through the signal path and increasing longevity. All audio inputs and outputs are gold plated and will not oxidize, ensuring that your i802 is virtually maintenance free. There is also a rear mounted chassis ground lug, and a signal ground lift to pair quietly with all of your sources.
Also featured on the rear panel is an FCF and SP jack for a plug and play upgrade path with the purchase of a capacitor pack. What is an FCF?
SP and FCF capacitor packs can be purchased separately, or to upgrade both at once consider the SPF series of capacitor packs.
The i802 has a slightly larger chassis size than the i800, with it's own multilayer acrylic faceplate, the reflective black accented with deep red. The center blue circle glows a warm blue when powered on, with the circle seemingly flowing into the form and mirrored controls.
