The Anniversary Edition is hard wired, employs larger transformers, uses superior quality components & uses the highly regarded EL34 valves. The hard wired amps follow Audion’s philosophy that simplicity is the key to a great sounding amplifier. The Anniversary edition comes in a new a black aluminium chassis with chrome highlights.

sterling performance.
This pentode based EL34 stereo amp uses a small amount of feedback in the design. The chassis is black powder coated aluminium as is the transformer cover.
The top plate and badge are mirror finished stainless steel.
This combination makes for smooth transients, good signal handling and tight response curves. There is an audible difference with the Anniversary products, due to the larger transformers and better grade components over the Mk1 printed circuit board models.
hand built.
The integrated Sterling is built with components sourced from Europe and the US. Audion’s output transformers are wound in-house to their exacting standards and many of the components are either made by Audion or specifically made for them. They use Electro Harmonix EL34 and Russian New old stock 6H1N as a driver and NOS Jan Philips 5687 tubes.
review.
In use, the Audion proved to be quite a joy, as its controls were simple enough once one had got used to the unorthodox lever switch arrangement. It behaved itself immaculately during testing and appeared to have plenty of power and heft to drive the Audio Note-J loudspeakers.
So let’s go back to the company’s mission statement for producing equipment that delivers great sound for the money? Have they achieved that? Well, I would have to say that the Sterling EL34 Anniversary has succeeded in spades. It is not a huge amount of money for such a sweet-sounding, detailed and musical performer.
