Key Features & Innovations
Flagship dual-mono hybrid power architecture — the Advance Paris A-i190 Nova Integrated Amplifier features independent toroidal transformers and dedicated channel circuitry for the left and right channels to achieve maximum stereo separation and dynamic headroom.
Tube preamplifier & High Bias Class A/AB operation — combines hand-selected ECC81/12AT7 vacuum tubes in the preamp for rich harmonics with a high-current transistor output stage that operates in pure Class A at lower power outputs via the High Bias control.
Dual HDMI inputs (ARC & HDMI Audio) — equipped with HDMI ARC for seamless television synchronization alongside a dedicated HDMI Audio input for direct digital audio decoding from Blu-ray transports and streamers.
Upgraded 32-bit/384kHz reference DAC — incorporates a premium digital-to-analogue converter supporting asynchronous USB-B, optical, coaxial, and AES/EBU digital sources for bit-perfect high-resolution audio processing.
Versatile MM/MC phono preamplifier & dual speaker zones — includes a low-noise phono stage with selectable Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) settings, paired with heavy-duty A/B speaker binding posts for bi-wiring or dual-room drive.
FAQ — A-i190 Nova Integrated Amplifier
How does the A-i190 Nova differ from the A-i130 Nova?
The Advance Paris A-i190 Nova Integrated Amplifier is the flagship model in the Nova series, featuring higher power output (190W vs 130W), a true dual-mono architecture with twin toroidal transformers, dual HDMI connections (ARC and HDMI Audio), and an upgraded MM/MC phono preamplifier stage.
What is the advantage of the dual-mono power supply design?
By employing completely separate power transformers and isolated audio paths for the left and right channels, channel crosstalk is virtually eliminated, yielding a broader soundstage, sharper imaging, and uncompromised transient dynamics.
Can I connect both my television and an audio streamer via HDMI?
Yes. The unit features an HDMI ARC port designed specifically for TV integration and volume control, plus a separate HDMI Audio input to receive high-bitrate digital streams directly from compatible audio players.
Does it support wireless Bluetooth streaming?
Yes. The rear panel includes a dedicated digital expansion port designed to accept optional Advance Paris Bluetooth receiver modules (such as the X-FTB01 or X-FTB02) for high-definition aptX HD wireless playback.
