The Model IT is the first commercial audio amplifier in the world to be based on our original "Memory Free" technology. The IT is a unique technological achievement resulting from 12 years of research and thousands of hours of listening tests. The elegant flagship of the Lavardin Technologies range, it is also a potent demonstration of the significance of our discoveries, denied by some, used in marketing by others...
The Model IT is a minimalist design and uses extremely accurate, high performance memory free circuitry. It is operated manually and has a line level source selection for up to four unbalanced inputs, no tape output and no phono facility.
A purity and clarity that no other amplifier can achieve make the choice of the IT over competitors a natural one. But perhaps we are not the best people to claim how good our products are : let the audiophiles and the music lovers talk.

The Lavardin IT is a truly great amplifier and the standard by which all other amps must be judged. My recommendation for our award for most wanted product of the Year? Obviously. But more: most wanted product of my lifetime.

This is certainly one of the most self-effacing, natural amplifiers I've heard, almost regardless of price. But beware, once you've heard it, returning to run-of-the-mill solid-state which has memory is a difficult task".

now, the Model IT out performs the best mono triode designs for articulation, transparency and contour ...dynamic capacity does not match the designer's max power indication ; it seems that we are listening a 2x200w amp so blasting are the transients
