Aurum Acoustics CD Preamp Amplifier and Speaker
Aurum Acoustics is led by Derrick Moss (P.Eng, MBA). Derrick is a life-long audiophile with a passion for great
music and great sound. He began developing his own audio projects 10 years ago and along the way he's had
the opportunity to work with some of the industry's biggest brands but chose to pursue his own path.
Dissatisfied with the performance limitations of the common passive-crossover equipped loudspeaker, Derrick
began to explore the field of active loudspeaker design. Controlling the combined amplifier and loudspeaker
system proved tremendously advantageous and led Derrick to strategize an opportunity that is Integris
Active 300B. In addition Derrick recognized numerous other systematic weaknesses in the overall organization
of the audio system and considered the current architecture, preserved over many decades, to be a key
limitation to furthering performance. This led Derrick to strategize the need for a more idealized source
component - the Integris CDP.

Intergris CDP
The Integris CDP is an integrated front-end component intended to serve as the centerpiece of a wide variety of high
performance hifi systems. It is, of course, very compatible with the Integris Active 300B but its preamp section is
capable of driving a wide range of power amplifiers very well. In short, it is a high resolution CD player and linestage
preamplifier intended to compete with the best in available separates in the two-channel audio market.
The design
goal is to exceed the performance of the finest separates with the operational convenience and value advantages
of a single component. Within the Integris CDP, there are numerous state-of-the-art subsystems that deserve attention.
We have engineered these subsystems to work optimally and conveniently together to yield outstanding performance
and ease of use.
Integris Active 300B
Aurum Acoustics has dared to be different by designing a rare and exciting new audiophile product. The Integris
Active 300B provides an elusive blend of vacuum tube beauty and solid-state authority in a high resolution active
loudspeaker package. The system includes a pair of crossoverless 3way loudspeakers, a stereo triamplifier, and
custom loudspeaker cabling. Although a very sophisticated design, it is remarkably simple to set up and operate.
The implementation achieves very high technical accuracy and musical satisfaction that is at the leading edge of
high-end audio.
