Creek products have been an integral part of the British hi-fi industry for well over twenty years. During that time, the company has not deviated from its original philosophy to produce a high quality yet affordable range of amplifiers, tuners and CD products. Value for money is at the core of the company's thinking.
Over the years Creek Audio has built up a loyal following in all corners of the globe and its products are currently available in more than 43 countries. One of the great strengths of the company is that it knows what it does best and focuses on those areas. Creek Audio has held firm in its decision not to diversify beyond its traditional markets simply in an effort to win over as many customers as possible. Short term gain has never been the motivating factor – maintaining customer loyalty by offering new and innovative products backed by exemplary service is of the highest importance.
And the result? As new products emerge they serve to further enhance the company’s reputation with the buying public who understand that when they purchase a Creek product, they can be guaranteed of the highest quality in a product that will last a lifetime.
EVO SERIES
EVO Integrated Amplifier 85 WPC SRP £495.00
EVO Compact Disc Player Fully Remote SRP £495.00
Evo products have been developed using 3D solid modelling software and high grade PCB development tools. They are designed to look similar to the new Destiny high-end range, but not to be confused with it.
Cosmetically, the Evo uses a 12mm solid aluminium front panel which is machined to create a visually appealing look and feel. The casework is larger than previously used on the Creek 50 series, to accommodate the extra power and facilities.
To provide a solid feel and stiffness, the outer case is made from folded steel, coated with a textured paint finish. Control knobs, buttons and disc feet are machined from solid aluminium.
Solid Aluminium Front Panel Available in Black or Silver finish
CLASSIS SERIES
CLASSIC 5350SE Integtated Amplifier SRP £850.00
The Classic 5350SE remains a landmark in Hi-Fi design, incorporating state of the art circuitry with elegant styling to achieve a versatile and high fidelity amplifier par excellence.
Sound quality on the Classic is superb.
The Classic 5350SE is constructed in a modular way, with separate power amp, pre-amp and remote volume control circuit boards, connected with computer grade flat cables, plugs and sockets.
To accommodate Bi-wiring and Bi-amping, the Classic 5350SE is fitted with 2 pairs of high current speaker binding posts plus separate pre-amp output and power amp input sockets. Speaker A/B selection is switchable from the front panel.
The Classic 5350SE also hosts a front panel mounted headphone socket, which is unusual in modern integrated amplifiers.
CLASSIC CD Player SRP £850.00
The Classic CD Player front panel controls include Play, Stop, Pause, Open/Close, Skip Forward, Skip Back, Search Forward, Search Back, Shuffle,Repeat and Standby functions. They are supplemented by an attractive full feature Creek system remote control handset utilising RC5 type codes.
The rear panel has a mains switch, together with the usual fused IEC mains inlet. A pair of gold plated Phono/RCA sockets is provided for un-balanced analogue output and (SPDIF) digital outputs are via a transformer coupled Phono/RCA socket.
CLASSIC A53 POWER AMPLIFIER SRP £700.00
To accommodate Bi-wiring, the Classic Power Amp is fitted with 2 pairs of high current speaker binding posts. Speaker A/B selection is not possible, but the amp can drive 2 sets of 8 Ohms speakers in parallel if required, or separately drive different drivers in a single multi-way speaker through separate speaker cables.
If used as a stand-alone power amp, the power amp can be used with a passive or active pre-amp as required. It will also work very well with the Creek OBH-22 remote controlled Passive Pre-amp.
The Classic Power Amp uses a 250VA toroidal transformer, together with multiple power supply capacitors totalling 31,000uF, 105 degree C, low impedance, to achieve the quality of computer grade capacitors but with very low inductance, for the ultimate in sonic performance.
CLASSIC T50 TUNER SRP £550.00
One of the great strengths of Creek Audio through the years has been the ability to produce exceptional tuners. The Classic T50 carries on that tradition. Styled to complement the Classic range of integrated amplifiers and CD player, this tuner is the perfect match. Yet it will also sit perfectly well with the older 53 and the new Destiny series, providing the ability to mix and match. Designed and manufactured in the U.K. The Classic T50 sets a new benchmark.
The range has Solid Aluminium Front Panel available in Silver or Black Finish
DESTINY SERIES
Destiny Integrated Amplifier SRP £1200.00
The Destiny Integrated Amplifier will continue to produce world beating audio performance, through its continued use of discrete analogue MOS-FET circuitry which was first developed for Creek’s amplification products in 1993. This circuitry has continued to be used with great success since that time.
A major improvement in the Destiny over earlier Creek amplifiers has been in the area of separating power supply and voltage referencing circuitry for each channel. Dedicated windings on the new and up-rated mains transformer achieves 100 Watts into 8 Ohm operation.
Most types of dynamic headphones can be connected to the standard size ¼" jack socket on the front panel, for high performance reproduction.
The metal case of the Destiny amplifier is larger and more substantial in thickness and weight. The new casework design uses heavy extruded aluminium sections and turned control knobs and buttons, machined by computer aided manufacturing techniques, to achieve a very high quality finish. The front panel itself is machined from solid 10mm thick aluminium. Groups of function buttons are now clustered together within a machined circle to make it more intuitive to use. LED’s indicate the functionality. Sorbothane'TM moulded feet, are also used to isolate mechanical vibration and improve sonic resolution.
Destiny CD Player SRP £1200.00
The Destiny CD Player is the first indication of Creek’s intention to launch a series of higher quality products dedicated to the serious hi-fi consumer.
Following in the footsteps of the popular CD50 mk2, the new Destiny player offers superior sound quality with the same playability and durability as the CD50 mk2, but with many additional features.
The Destiny Power Amplifier is designed to produce world beating audio performance, through its continued use of custom discrete analogue MOS-FET circuitry using separate power supplies and voltage referencing circuitry for each channel. Dedicated windings on mains transformer help it to achieve >100 Watts into 8 Ohm operation and nearly double that into 4 Ohms.
Destiny Power Amplifer SRP £1000.00
The Destiny Power amp is unusual in that it has two separate inputs. Firstly it has a non-inverting, input via high quality solid metal, gold plated RCA sockets that connect to the power amplifier directly. It also has active balanced inputs, via XLR sockets and uses relays to switch between the two inputs. The Destiny Power Amplifier can select either input from a button on the rear panel or using the forthcoming Destiny CAN Link system that extends the controls to another room or proprietary RS232 room controller.
Loudspeaker connection can be from bare wire or audio type instrument plugs, through high-grade touch-proof screw terminals on the rear panel that can be switched from the front panel, remote handset or Can Link by gold contact high-current relays.
Like the rest of the Destiny range of products, the Power Amplifier can switch into low-current standby operation from the front panel or remote control handset. Waking up the amplifier can now be performed simply via the Creek System Remote handset. For the ecologically aware consumer, the Destiny power amp draws less than 1 Watt of mains current in standby mode.
Solid Aluminium Front Panel available in Silver or Black Finish
They are ideally suited to drive the Epos range of Loudspeakers.
