The R 1230 R is the perfect symbiosis of two superb individual components: the PA 1230 Rintegrated amplifier and the T 1210 R tuner. The double-sided circuit board of the tunersection incorporates SMT technology to produce a miracle of miniaturization, and itsextremely short signal paths are responsible for the simply outstanding RF characteristics.The sound qualities and measured values of the amplifier section are identical to those ofthe PA 1230 R, and that amplifier’s enormous output power is present in full. In all R-seriesdevices T+A deliberately uses the same overall technology and design philosophy, with theresult that all our products feature very similar sound qualities. A good example of this is thepresence of our sophisticated ICA technology and push-pull class A mirror current stages inour receivers as well as our pure amplifiers
