AP2140A/5140A, Jaton Operetta Power Amplifiers User's Feedback
Introduction   Specification   Review   Dealer's Comments
Operetta's basic two-channel AP2140A
amplifier is a lot more than  just two channels of
stunningly competent power. At its heart is a
modular design that allows our customers to
modify it to suit them.
Elegance, simplicity and attention to detail rule its design. At its core sit two power modules
comprising National Semiconductors' LM3886 High-Performance Audio Power Amplifier
IC. Each module produces 70 watts into 8 ohms, modest by modern standards, but like
tube amps, these are sophisticated watts. More importantly, the combined attention to
circuit geometry and quality components yields power with total harmonic distortion so low
it left National Semiconductors' own engineers double checking their instruments.

All of this represents an elegantly radical
approach to circuitry so effective as to belie
numbers. The proof is in the listening:
laser-like focus, precise separation, deft
detail, and sweeping soundstage.
Yet simplicity also drives a remarkably modest price, value compounded by Jaton's inherent
flexibility. Modular design means the basic AP 2-140 series chassis is ready, willing and
wired to accommodate from two to five amp modules. Adding modules is a simple
plug-and-play operation, not much more complicated than changing a light bulb. The basic
two-channel stereo amp is easily expandable at any time, to four channels for bi-amping, or
five channels for a full-on home theater system.
The AP2140A and AP5140A are final assembled and tested in our headquarter Milpitas,
California. It's clean and simple chassis is available in three finishes: black panel bordered by
mirrored aluminum, silver with mirrored aluminum or simple silver. Click
