CZECH UP ON CANOR

摘要

Though its Canor brand name first appeared little more than five years ago, this maker has been building high-grade valve amplifiers for nearly two decades. Based in PreSov in eastern Slovakia, the growing Elnika company entered the hi-fi amplifier market under its original product name, Edgar, when the first TP101 amp was shown at an exhibition in Brno in the Czech Republic in 1995. Notable for its solid wood chassis surround, this was the foundation for a series of valve integrateds. While the TP101 had its four EL34 tubes on display, the later TP105 was a fully enclosed design and came with a massive real-wood fascia.
