The KI Pearl amplifiers, developed under the guidance of Ken Ishiwata,have been the subject of much careful design and engineering. For example, the high-quality components that proved such a success in the original KI Pearls are now used in this new amp, enabling an amazing but mildly understated performance. This new Pearl has also been given a copper-plated chassis to help ensure the lowest possible impedance grounding. Marantz designers also shaped and optimised the power handling characteristics to extend the unique KI Pearl handwriting. They redesigned the large double shielded Toroidal transformer’s circuitry to optimise bandwidth power, the idea being to enable it to drive even the most difficult loads. They have broadly succeeded in this. We have used this amp successfully to drive some pretty arkward loads. And, because ‘vinyl’ is back, the PM-KI Pearl Lite supports Phono MM also with current feedback technology.
