The T+A Power Plant Balanced is a premium integrated amplifier designed for audiophile music lovers, featuring high-quality balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs on separate circuit boards with fully symmetrical construction. It uses advanced pulse width modulation (PWM) output stages with discrete construction and ultra-fast MOSFET transistors, supported by an oversized analog mains power supply with a toroidal transformer for low leakage fields. The amplifier delivers nominal output power of 2 x 250 watts into 4 ohms and 2 x 140 watts into 8 ohms, with peak outputs of 2 x 380 watts and 2 x 210 watts respectively. It offers a frequency response of 1 Hz to 60 kHz (+/- 3 dB), total harmonic distortion and intermodulation distortion below 0.005%, and channel separation greater than 80 dB. The unit includes tone controls, loudness function, a flat mode to bypass tone controls for pure signal path, and supports optional plug-in MM and MC phono modules. It has multiple inputs including 5 high-level RCA inputs and 2 balanced XLR inputs, pre-amplifier output, headphone output for impedances above 50 ohms, and tape output. The amplifier weighs approximately 13 kg and is remote controllable. It is noted for its open and lively sound character and upgradeable design. The Power Plant Balanced was It is no longer in current production but remains a highly regarded integrated amplifier in the audiophile community.
