Airis 51-FITHY SS Amp

OK. I wasn't paying attention to the fact that the Airis uses a solid state class D power amp. It doesn't require large transformers like a tube poweramp may require.

Yep. Class D.

Juts got my shipping notification! Super stoked for this amp.

Yes, Fryette uses toroidal transformers to accommodate the form factor.

Does the Airis use toroidal transformers?

Is that in the newer ones? I was thinking more like these:

Or the Mesa 2:Ninety:

wow, that’s a lot of iron there

The VHT 2150 and original 2/90/2’s used toroidal for sure

I have one of the first run 2:90:2’s where the power and standby are in the middle of the chassis.

I’m TOLD by more than a couple amp builders, these early 2:90’s are VERY similar to the 2150.
