Air Tight ATE-3011

Reference Phono Equalizer

The ATE-3011 is the flagship phono preamplifier from this legendary Japanese audio manufacturer and is a unique design with features unlike any other reference phono preamplifier in the world today. To understand such an ambitious amplifier, it is best to begin with understanding the intention that conceived the idea. Air Tight wanted to cater for the highly discerning music and vinyl record connoisseur who wanted to be able to listen to virtually ANY record using the correct equalization curve and therefore optimise the sound reproduction experience.

The ATE-3011 is equipped with 5 equalizing curves (RIAA, NAB, AES, FFRR, & FLAT) for Turnover and Roll-Off, and can independently select Turnover and Roll-off to create various curves to optimise the experience of your vinyl collection. A large self-illuminating display and an equalization curve selector switch offer easy change over between the various equalizing curve listening options.

Having the ability to accurately access these curves places this phono-stage in a rarefied league however the greatest achievement of the ATE-3011 without a doubt is its sound quality. Air Tight took three years to develop the ATE-3011 including countless design refinements and exhaustive listening tests. They were particularly focussed on the concept of non-colouration, or ultimate transparency which aspires to facilitate a sound where the amplifier adds no or an absolute minimum of its own character into the sonic presentation.

There are some significant innovations in the circuit topology as well as some new technologies focussed on mechanical resonance mitigation. The primary amplification section is housed within in the inner chassis. Three of the dual triode 12AX7 tubes are parallell located at the center of the main chassis and the amplification circuit for both channels is located on the thick copper plate above and below the location of the tubes. All the Mica capacitors and the huge de-coupling capacitors are brought together into one place. To reduce leakage flux, two large capacity toroidal transformers are employed and any superfluous influence on the amplification section is eliminated.

Independent L/R and input/output signals run through original stainless steel conductors instead of conventional cables up to the very point of equaliser input. All terminals, shielding, connectors and components are the very best available. Some new innovations were also employed to ensure that noise or hum-loop artefacts are completely eliminated and a muting relay circuit is employed to prevent noise when power is turned on.

This level of attention to detail all adds up to produce a supremely flexible and reference level sonic masterpiece.
If you have a large record collection which includes a variety of recordings from different eras, labels and pressings, you will be aware of the benefit of having access to the five main equalization curves in order to optimise your listening experience. Now you can hear your records exactly the way they were meant to be heard!

A Funny Lesson in Toy Durability
I actually have two very different reviews for these toys. First up was the Welsh Terrier, who weighs all of 8 pounds and absolutely destroyed the pink one. The squeaker was done in under five minutes, and the poor little toy lost its ears in less than three. So for some dogs, these may not last long at all. Now for review number two: my 45-pound Shar Pei is having an absolute blast with the blue and orange toys. He shakes them, pulls on them, squeaks them nonstop, and even tosses them around, and so far they are still in perfect shape after a few days of regular play. So in my experience, durability really seems to depend on the dog and probably which toy in the set they latch onto first. They are definitely fun, soft, and engaging squeaky toys, but if your dog is a determined little destroyer, just know they may not hold up for long. For my bigger pup, though, they have been a hit.

To say my pup loved them was an UNDERSTATEMENT. Within 12 hrs what I bought for 3 dogs has become 1 dogs . He literally has ripped the heads off. I wish a lil more durable but hey he love each one. He is special lil man who can tear anything up.

Holds Up Well So Far – Nice Multi-Texture Toy
We picked up this rope plush for our dog, and overall it’s been a solid addition to the toy bin. The combination of soft plush and rope makes it more interesting than a standard stuffed toy. Our dog likes to chew on the rope sections and carry it around by the neck, and it’s held up better than most plush toys we’ve tried. The stitching seems reinforced in key areas, and even after several play sessions (including some light tug), it hasn’t come apart. That said, the size is something to pay attention to. This seems better suited for small to medium dogs or for supervised play if your dog is rough with toys. Also, while it does have a squeaker, it’s not overly loud, which could be a plus or minus depending on your preference. Overall, it’s a fun, well-designed toy that mixes textures nicely and keeps our dog engaged. Just match it to your dog’s play style and expectations for durability.

Terrible product
These made my dog very sick. The chemical smell alone is too much. Should not be aloud for puppies to chew on .

Easy to destroy, better for dogs who are light on their toys
My dogs absolutely loved these right away, the squeaker grabbed their attention instantly, and they had a blast playing with them. That said, these are made of a pretty thin latex material, and my dogs immediately shredded them. They didn’t last long at all, so I’d definitely consider these more of a short-term or supervised toy rather than something durable. Because of that, I’d only recommend them if you have dogs that aren’t heavy chewers or that you know won’t try to swallow pieces. Otherwise, they can become a bit of a mess quickly. Overall, fun toys that dogs clearly enjoy, but not built for durability.
