Thule Audio Components - Overview

[tiefbassuebertr]

first various diyaudio topics arround Thule Audio and their circuit topologies
Ultimate ECC for Class B from Thule Audio? Topology also used by Teac
Thule Audio's GND Management by Integrated Amplifier with RC - who can explain
Thule Audio's Universal Inrush Current Limiter for their Amplifiers - very special?
What happen to thule audio?

the first both amplifiers I know are the models "IA-120" and "IA-70". Photos are to find about
Thule Audio Vintage Integrated Amplifier IA-120 (IA120) Schematic wanted

In the attachement various different logos from Thule Audio

[tiefbassuebertr]

DAC-200 (DAC200) and CD-100 (CD100) - various
outlines and colors (before introducing "SPIRIT" series)
Maybe there are also different versions inside - I guess the aera of producrtion was between 1991 until 1995 or 1996.
Who have exact informations?

[tiefbassuebertr]

The model IA50C I have never seen before and discover only by chance in the web.
Who have schematic diagrams and service manuals?
In the next post you will find various designs from the IA50, IA100 and the associated power and pre amplifier versions.

[tiefbassuebertr]

Thule Audio IA-50, IA-100, PR-200 (preamplifier version of IA50/100), various colors

in next post you will find two integrated amplifiers from TEAC, made by Anders Thule in the IA50/IA100 aera.

Teac Integrated Amp ABX-10 and ABX-7R (BX10, BX7R, ABX10, ABX7R);
This also excellent sounded amp PCB's was developed and manufactured by Thule Audio in Herlev

[tiefbassuebertr]

Also Primare uses PCB's in several of their amplifier models made by Thule Audio in Herlev. Here the "A 30" (A30) series from Primare:

Second Brand manufactured by Thule Audio in Herlev - Continuation Primare "A 20" (A20) series
Remote control from picture number 3 is identical to that of the first series at Thule Audio itself (see post #4, pdf attachement)
In the next post the "Spirit" Series follows.

errors or missing information I can't completly rule out - I am very pleased for appropriate informations

[tiefbassuebertr]

I note four different outer designs both of the CD-Player so as integrated/pre-amp and power amplifiers from the "Spirit" line
All outer designs are only available in black, but with the colors "gold" and "Silver for operating instructions knob and volume control knob so as the facing veneer for the CD-tray.
First outer design additional available completly in silver-grey also for operating instructions knob and volume control knob (nextel color - only limited edition for Germany). Another feature was present by the first design: the knob for the operating instructions was always black instead "gold" resp. "silver" as to see by the later designs. I prefer clearly the first design.
In the next posts you will find the adresses of all distributors over the world so as various photos of the designs as mentioned above
