Product Description

This new amplifier forms part of the next generation EVOLUTION 50 range of products. An ingenious new push button design has been developed for it, offering excellent tactile feel and backlit optical indication of usable functions for optimum user-friendliness. At the heart of any good amplifier lies a good power supply; The EVOLUTION 50A uses a 200 Watt toroidal mains transformer with separate windings for high and low current analogue and digital circuitry. This solution produces a good power to weight ratio and low magnetic interference. Creek's policy of paralleling several low impedance capacitors to create an ultra-high specification capacitor to smooth the DC also helps to produce a very powerful and accurate sound from such a relatively small amplifier. Creek's Senior Engineer - David Gamble - has much experience in the audio industry. He has developed a completely new bi-polar transistor power amplifier circuit especially for the EVOLUTION 50A with very high open-loop gain and low distortion. Featuring a pair of Sanken 15Amp power transistors, with built-in thermal compensation for rapid bias tracking performance, the Power Amplifier circuit has very low output impedance and can produce high output current. This combination will provide exceptional speed and control over most loudspeakers. David also developed a completely new analogue Pre-amp circuit, providing high levels of flexibility and control, via unbalanced or balanced inputs. It has multiple input options, switched electronically or via gold contact relays, plus electronic Volume, Balance and Tone controls. For Vinyl fans, an optional Sequel Phono pre-amp can be plugged-in, substituting Line Input 1 for Phono. In addition, there is another input available, should the user want to fit an optional Tuner module. The computer control will sense this and respond accordingly. A stylish new system remote handset has been developed to control all the functions of the EVOLUTION 50A.

Creek - Evolution 50A / EVO 50A - Integrated Amplifier- Black Review

The amplifier sounds incredible, I switched from my 20 year old EAR859 tube amp. If I had to criticize, I'd say the bass can be a little slow, especially on fast transients, it sometimes lacks attack. The remote control doesn't power on/off the amp and it's short on inputs. The AV direct input is handy though (bypasses preamp and volume control). I wish you could rename the inputs on the OLED display, and I have pushed it into overheat shutdown. But it sounds fantastic, very smooth and natural, no graininess that solid state amps usually have (I'm thinking you NAD). I am docking a star for no remote power control and no input renaming. I haven't tried the headphone output yet because I used a Schiit Asgard. But the subtlety, timber and ambience is amazing. Recommended.
