Created in 1990 by a small group of young electronics engineers, Kora E.C. started as a company specialising in power supplies and signal treatments for the reputed French Aerospatiale complex at Toulouse . As lovers of music, however, this knowledge was soon to be transformed and channelled into the design of quality hi-end tube amplifiers.
As part of the flourishing French ‘Silicon Valley’ area that has earned Toulouse it’s name in the world electronics industry, Kora brought out their first amplifier, the Design 30 Integrated in 1994. It rapidly gained them a world-wide reputation, placing Kora definitively on the hi-end map. As part of its innovative design, by creator François Philibert, the use of Mos-Fet transistors was used to stabilise the power supply whilst leaving the signal free from transistor interference. The more powerful Design 50 followed with its unique ‘Constant Power’ system which allows the amplifier to correct the fluctuations in impedance of the speakers!
CSC (Comparative Signal Correction) Technology- unlike constant feedback circuits, CSC applies feedback only if input/output differences are detected. This process results in the dynamic, lively detailed sound of zero-feedback signal designs, but with the precise control of high feedback amplification. What's more, CSC acts in parallel to the signal path and the pure tube technology that Kora excels in is maintained. Hear the difference for yourself!
