i807 - 80wpc Integrated
i807 - 80wpc Integrated
The i807 shares many similarities with the i802 and i806, but this integrated amplifier takes the performance a step further with an upgraded external power supply for supremely quiet operation. The external power supply has 276,000 micro-Farads coupled with approximately 1.826 Farads within the amplifier chassis itself.
Each i807 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 i807 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.
Where the i807 truly stands out from the i806 is in the power supply, where much of the performance of any great audio component is made or lost. The power supply has been moved to a separate external chassis, allowing the extra room within the amplifier chassis to house even more DC reserves for the input and output sections of the amplifier, adding an estimated 1.826 Farads of capacitance internally, for a total of 2.102 Farads (2.102 million micro-Farads). This accounts for a total of SP 10.1 and FCF2 built in to the i807.
A rear mounted FCF and SP jack allow for further future upgrades to the total power supply size and capacitance via an FCF, SP, or SPF capacitor packs (sold separately).
The i807 has a multilayer acrylic faceplate, the reflective black complimented with a deep red background. The center blue circle glows a warm blue when powered on, with the circle seemingly flowing into the form and mirrored controls. The external power supply features the same blue circle, accented by a laser engraved, gold circle that extends to the power LED.
