General : Beautiful integrated Class A/B amplifier from Serblin & Son. Many will recognize the name Serblin, thinking of Sonus Faber. This amplifier was developed by Fabio Serblin, the nephew of Franco Serblin, the founder of Sonus Faber. The name is certainly upheld with the release of this magnificent amplifier line.

Technology : The Frankie is a Class A/B amplifier with 75 Watts at 8 Ohm and 110 Watts at 4 Ohm. More than enough to drive most speakers. The housing feels very solid and consists of solid aluminum top and bottom plates with wooden side panels. The minimalist front panel fits nicely with this sleek design. The Frankie has only two knobs for volume and input, with LEDs indicating the selected input. The Frankie features an analog volume control using a series of 127 individual resistors, a technique that has proven itself superior to the commonly known potentiometer. This ensures unparalleled sound reproduction and longevity. Not bad for an amplifier in this price range. What also stands out about the Frankie are the phono inputs that accommodate both MM and MC cartridges. Both inputs can be adjusted with the sliders on the back, so you can work with virtually any element.

Sound : Like a Sonus Faber speaker, the Frankie is a pleasure to listen to. A beautiful warm sound with a round bass and velvety midrange. Yet it certainly doesn't lack dynamics and control. Complex passages are clearly laid out and rhythmically easy to follow. All in all, a fine amplifier that you can listen to for hours without hesitation.

PLUS : The Serblin & Son Frankie is also available as the Frankie PLUS for an additional price of only € 250,-. What you get in return is a streaming module with High Resolution D/A Converter with SPDIF Coax RCA and Toslink Optical input. The streamer can be controlled via Spotify Connect or Tidal Connect, internet radio can also be listened to or it can be used as a DLNA player, which allows you to play music files with Audirvana. It is also possible to play via Bluetooth or Airplay.
