About the CRISPIN
The Orchard Audio CRISPIN is a two-channel, full-bridge Class-D stereo power amplifier designed with true-balanced, DC-coupled output stages. It accepts either balanced XLR or single-ended RCA line-level input and drives loudspeakers through two pairs of five-way banana binding posts. Available documentation and contemporary reports identify a standard CRISPIN and a higher-powered CRISPIN Ultra version. The Ultra reportedly adds approximately 50% more power-rail capacitance and an upgraded custom linear transformer. Orchard Audio’s current legacy-product information indicates that the CRISPIN has been superseded by the Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium, so it should be regarded as discontinued/no longer manufactured. Some physical and electrical details, such as weight, gain, input sensitivity, and mains power consumption, are not specified in the available CRISPIN documentation.
