The \"Linear Classics\" series inherits the core concept of the Aura brand—simplicity and minimalism—while striving to create products that add a sense of high quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach model adheres to the British-born design philosophy of Aura, delivering simple functionality and vibrant sound quality without altering the 55mm height and 430mm width of the face panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifiers are meticulously designed and manufactured in Japan, with a focus on linear power supplies and analog technology. Furthermore, the precise metalwork from the globally renowned region of Tsubame-Sanjo in Niigata Prefecture is one of the key attractions of the Linear Classics. Combining pure analog design with a visually stunning aesthetic, these products exude a lasting sense of value that promises to endure well into the future.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe power amplifier that embodies traditional strengths.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VA 40 rebirth had gained attention for its unique heat management system, which used large heat sinks with MOSFETs mounted on top, and a reversed main circuit board supported by rods underneath. This approach maximized the performance of power devices. Building on this, the LCP 1 further refines the cooling system to support large power devices capable of driving low-efficiency speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy utilizing more than half of the lid's area as a heat sink, the LCP 1 enhances heat dissipation. It also improves separation by adding slits between the heat sinks to reduce L\/R power device interference. With a single push-pull structure, this amplifier combines excellent response, low-level linearity, and powerful handling performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUpgraded Power Devices\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe single push-pull configuration with MOSFETs is a hallmark of Aura's identity. The LCP 1 features EXICON-made EXW20N20 \/ ECW20P20 MOSFETs, offering increased output and compatibility with BTL connections compared to the devices used in the VA 40 rebirth. Their higher current rating ensures robust performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCustom-Made Flat Toroidal Transformer in the Power Supply\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAura's amplifiers are known for their superior sound quality, thanks to linear power supplies. For the LCP 1, a custom ultra-thin toroidal transformer fits within the 55mm-tall chassis. This high-quality transformer is meticulously wound, minimizing vibration noise. To achieve sufficient output with a single power device, large-capacity components were chosen for the power supply, including capacitors and output relays, resulting in ample driving capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis combination of innovation and craftsmanship sets the LCP 1 apart while maintaining Aura's iconic simplicity and superior quality.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh-Quality Components\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe LCP 1 incorporates a variety of premium parts that elevate the original model to a new level.
