The range








Thesis Lambda

preamplifier




The Thesis λ (lambda) is a preamplifier for the analogue-blooded fans. You can choose between five of your analogue sources and adjust the volume with an RC handset, but that is all you can get from the digital world by this clean-cut preamp. On the analogue side, however, it is the most refined preamplifier ever built by Heed.


The amplifier circuit of the Thesis λ is the pure version of the Thesis α’s analogue section. With the lack of digital circuitry, there is no reason to compromise anything. Aiming for the best possible sound quality, the Thesis λ offers an unexceptional PCB design, unique to our Thesis line preamplifiers.


In a standalone mode, it is a very robust and capable device with its sturdy internal power supply. There is, however, an option to upgrade this remarkable performance to an even more astonishing level. The Thesis π external power supply adds more clarity, more accuracy and a great bunch of smoothness to the presentation.


Features

– 5 analogue inputs

– upgradeable analogue power supply (see Thesis Pi)

– fully remote controllable

Thesis Delta

CD player




The Thesis Δ (delta) is a CD player that seamlessly assimilates into its sophisticated analogue family. It offers the most convenient way to enjoy your digital recordings in the best possible quality.


With its sturdy mechanism and cleverly tuned internal suspension system, the readout of the digital data is exceptionally precise. From the separated power supplies to the high speed processor, every segment is working together to keep this digitally coded music perfectly healthy.


Without a DAC module, the delta is a transport with many digital outputs. Extending its possibilities with a converter board, the delta integrated CD player offers astonishing analogue quality, and truly enchanting musical experience.


Features

– metal tray loader

– 4 digital outputs

– optional “transport only” version

– fully remote controllable

Thesis Phi

phono stage




The Thesis φ (phi) is a no-compromise phono preamplifier for all vinyl connoisseurs using a top-class turntable. Just like the α or λ preamps, it is also fed by the Thesis π twin PSU. By using two independent – MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) – amplifier circuits, it is possible to use two record players connected simultaneously. Cartridge matching is highly customisable for gain and impedance on the rear panel of the unit by jumpers. Noise characteristics, dynamic range, headroom and frequency response of the Thesis φ are second to none.


Features

– totally separated MM and MC stage (simultaneous work)

– adjustable MC gain and impedance

– discrete bipolar transistor architecture

– exceptional noise figure

Thesis Omega

mono power amplifier




The thesis ω (omega) monobloc power amplifier is an RC-coupled device in true Heed fashion that drives loudspeakers in a similar way to valve power amplifiers, but without their inherent problems related to the vacuum tube. Despite certain topological similarities to its valve counterparts, the Thesis ω is best described as a quintessentially solid-state power amp that successfully gets around the often sterile, lifeless sound of most solid-state devices. We believe that connecting amplifiers to speakers by RC- instead of the prevalent DC-coupling results in a much more natural, less “cropped” decay of tones. Freed from all containments, we could achieve a no-compromise implementation of the Transcap topology in the Thesis ω.


With its very generously sized power supply, unlike valve amplifiers, it is also extremely stable even into the most difficult loads – continuous power delivery up to 160W or capability of driving loads down to 1.6 Ohm speak for themselves. It is capable of driving all kind of sensible speakers.


In short, the thesis ω power amplifier epitomises an almost alchemical synergy of solid-state stability and the finesse and “live” magic usually achieved only by 300B triodes in valve amplification.


Features

– Transcap – output capacitor technology for unique musical abilities

– massive power delivery up to 160 Watts

– excellent impedance handling down to 1.6 Ohms

– oversized components and solid design for reliability

Thesis Gamma

stereo power amplifier




The Thesis γ (gamma) stereo power amplifier is the most athletic member of the family. With great effort, we have succeeded to squeeze two Thesis-class Transcap module into one rather tiny, but chunky metal chassis. Its wall-to-wall transistor array supplies tremendous energy for two channels of music, without the slightest feeling of necessity.


For being a Transcap-technology stereo power amplifier, the Thesis γ has an extermely good overall transient response. The percussion instruments sound vividly and life-like, providing the essential base of music. While all other instruments and vocals brillare in their place, together they create a concert-like atmosphere, where you can feel the wink of the musicans when they make an upbeat of a new measure.


Features

– Transcap – output capacitor technology for unique musical abilities

– massive power delivery up to 2×110 Watts

– excellent impedance handling down to 1.6 Ohms

– oversized components and solid design for reliability

Thesis Pi

power supply




The Thesis π (pi) twin power supply can feed the α or λ preamplifiers and the φ phono stage simultaneously. It has two independent sections, each with dual regulated power supply rails. In order to ensure an absolutely clean and stable power delivery, the Thesis π uses high-grade components custom made to our specifications, all massively overspecified for smooth and effortless performance even when pushed to its limits.


It is not only the extension of the spectrum, but the smoother, cleaner and more articulated performance makes the π power supply a great upgrade for the thesis preamplifiers. Though the α and λ are both very well equipped to make a great impression in standalone mode, the addition of the π makes the icing on the cake in a thesis system.


Features

– double independent power supply output

– two-stage stabilized supply rails for extreme low noise

– custom made components to meet our strict specifications

– multiple oversizing for stability and reliability
