Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the design of the Aavik amplifier?

  By separating the individual units and redesigning them in a totally isolated fashion, the AAVIK series has gained in dynamic momentum and a more expansive sound. The AAVIK design is Scandinavian understatement and expresses simplicity and minimalism featuring only a few buttons for logical operation.

• What is the most effective way of preventing mechanical vibrations on the Aavik series?

  AAVIK has also prepared the top and bottom surfaces on all AAVIK series to best accommodate Ansuz Darkz™, which represent the most effective way of preventing mechanical vibrations. The new AAVIK series is designed to ensure massive power resources with ultra-low noise.

• What is the difference between Aavik 180 and 580 series and Junior series?

  The two junior series AAVIK 180 and 280 share the DNA of the 580 series. All units are embedded in the same shape of cabinet - they look almost identical. Moving upwards in performance from the 180 to the 280 and the 580 series, we have added even more resonance control.

• When was the new model of the Aavik U-380 introduced?

  The AAVIK U-380, which was introduced in fall 2019 at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, has the same functionality and circuitry as the model U-300 it replaced. However, every printed-circuit board (PCB) has been rerouted, some components have been updated, and lower-noise automotive transistors have been introduced to the phono stage.

• Is the Aavik U-150 a good integrated amplifier?

  What the AAVIK U-150 does so well (as the U-300 does so well) is deliver a consistent and integrated performance. Some amplifiers are a great DAC with a mediocre amp attached, or a fine line-stage with an afterthought of a phono section. The AAVIK platform is none of those things.

• What does the you in Aavik U-300 stand for?

  They have also started a cable company called Ansuz Acoustics. Not to be overlooked is their less-expensive speaker line, Scansonic. In that brief meeting at CES, Børresen explained that the “U” in the U-300 stands for “Unity” and the “300,” not surprisingly, for the power output in watts.

• Is the U-300 an amplifier or preamp?

  Indeed, the U-300 is more than just a preamp and amplifier in one chassis. It also houses an internal DAC which was playing at the time. (He was using a dCS Puccini transport to feed digits to the U-300.)

• What are the features of the new Aavik amplifiers?

  AAVIK has also prepared the top and bottom surfaces on all AAVIK series to best accommodate Ansuz Darkz™, which represent the most effective way of preventing mechanical vibrations. The new AAVIK series is designed to ensure massive power resources with ultra-low noise.
