The Aries Cerat Ianus Geminae is a very high-end monoblock power amplifier using Aries Cerat’s TriodeFet output technology. It employs a floating circlotron topology, transformer-coupled input circuitry, separate tube-rectified power supplies, adjustable bias, and a transformer volume control (TVC) gain-selection system. The amplifier is designed to remain in true Class A operation across its rated output range and is reported to remain stable with speaker loads down to 1 ohm. Its zero-global-feedback design and high damping factor are intended to combine high current capability with low output impedance and tube-like linearity. A stereo system requires two monoblocks.
