Guys,

On this wonderful day with the blessing of Shirdi Sai baba, Absolute Phase is happy to announce that we have been appointed as the Sole India Distributor for Airtight Valve amps. These amps are handcrafted in Japan and are the Rolls Royce of Japanese amps and are known worldwide.

In 1986 when the audio industry was in the midst of chaos losing its original peerless dream in the general shift from valves to transistors, our A & M Ltd. was founded with ardent wishes to create such products that provide full listening pleasure to all music lovers and audiophiles, thus enabling them to form an increasing attachment by repeated listening.

The philosophy is crystallised, through an exhaustive research and development, in the AIR-TIGHT branded audio gear featuring refined cosmetics, strictly select components, PCB-free point-to-point meticulous hand-wiring, etc.

The ultimate award is the infinite musicality that extends far beyond mere specifications, approaching the sublimate soundstage presentation, in full depth and width, of live performance.

Small as A & M is in size, we keep on giving a challenge for realisation of our grandiose dream. Have a startling experience to enjoy the second-to-none musicality only our time-tested valve configuration affords!

The founder of Air Tight, Mr. Atasushi Miura, He started his career in 1956 at Luxman, famous for many quality amplifiers, he continued to gain knowledge of electronics and above all the quality demands of the audiophile. His father in law was an engineer and a co-founder of Luxman and passed on his many years of expertise and knowledge.

Having left some 30 years later in 1985 he set up his own company A&M Ltd with the brand name of Air Tight. Around this time Luxman, along with many manufacturers stopped producing products designed with tubes and seeing an opportunity to preserve and improve on current designs set out to produce his own nostalgic amplifier design. This dream turned to reality with the launch of the ATM-1 in 1988. Meeting the needs of the critical audiophile it was well reviewed and won a place in the hearts of many.

Some 20 years later the launch of the ATM-1s, standing for special, has many new design features not least a variable bias option for the consumer to change the characteristics of the tubes and fine tune the sound quality. It also features a line stage amplifier with shunt regulator to make it match the demands for better sound and has a unique buffer stage to help match the timbre from CD.

Another new product is the ATE2005 phono stage equaliser that uses a tube design and offers the customer a choice of, step up transformer or transistor pre-amplifier stage for the moving coil input. There are 2 moving magnet and 1 moving coils inputs.

I have auditioned this amplifier combo at Mr. Vinnay Arora in Delhi.. They are simple stunning. Very sweet tonal quality without coloration.
