Innamorata (In-nam-o-ra'-ta) From Italian; To cause to fall in love, a woman with whom someone is in love, a mistress.

Behold the Wells Audio "Innamorata". Perhaps the best amplifier in the world? A 120 wpc solid state design that is heavily biased into class "A" power and employs very little feedback. The Innamorata also incorporates Bybee quantum AC filtering as well as being the first audio design to use the Bybee Labs revolutionary "Music Rails" for up to -45 db of DC noise reduction. A unique combination of harmonic richness, tonal beauty and detail are revealed. In a sea of like sounding, washed out and over damped amplifiers the Wells Audio Innamorata is an island of musical bliss. Please take the time to audition the truly one-of-a-kind experience that is the "Innamorata".

The Innamorata amplifier makes considerable use of the Bybee purifier technology to remove noise from the AC power in. Below is a brief description excerpted from the Bybeetech.com website:

What Is Quantum Purification?

Jack Bybee's Quantum Purifiers were originally developed for military applications, many of which are still highly classified. These amazing devices have been used for years by knowledgeable audio and video enthusiasts to reach levels of signal purity and transparency unattainable prior to their introduction.

Within any playback system, musical and visual information is transmitted by electrons flowing through conductors. As electrons interact with the conductive materials of cables and circuits, very low-level (quantum) noises are generated. As quantum noise energy accumulates in the propagating signal, low-level details pertaining to ambience, soundstage, timbre, dynamics, color fidelity and picture resolution are obscured, robbing the presentation of vividness and life.

Bybee Quantum Purifiers operate on the quantum mechanical level to regulate the flow of electrons that make up the signal (picture a metering light regulating freeway traffic flow). Current flow within the Quantum Purifier is unimpeded and ideal (think of the unencumbered flow of traffic on a lightly traveled expressway). During transit through the Quantum Purifier, quantum noise energy is stripped off the electrons, streamlining their flow through ensuing conductors. Unwanted quantum noise energy dissipates as heat within the Quantum Purifier rather than emerging as a layer of contamination residue over the audio/video information.

The benefits of this process extend beyond the physical length of the Quantum Purifier. As electrons speed through the purifier, a "slipstream" effect is formed which facilitates current flow in the surrounding conductors of the playback system. Introducing Bybee Quantum Purification into the electron path reduces quantum noise and increases signal velocity, resulting in performance improvement beyond what is attainable by any cable alone, no matter how well designed.

White Paper

What are they? How do they work? Why do you need them?

We hear these questions all the time. The short answer is: The Bybee Music Rail™ actively increases the resolution and definition of both audio and video signals by removing noise and unwanted signal from DC power supplies.

And it does it better than ever before possible. This engineers' paper will explain conceptually the function and purpose of the new, active-circuit
Music Rail™.

nnamorata (In-nam-o-ra’-ta): to inspire with love, a woman whom one is in love with, a mistress.

Will you fall in love with one of the best amplifiers in the world? With a 150 wpc solid state design heavily biased into class A power, the Innamorata employs very little feedback. With the first audio design to use Bybee Labs's revolutionary Music Rails and quantum AC filtering, we achieve up to -45 db of DC noise reduction. In a sea of like-sounding, washed out, over-dampened amplifiers, the Wells Audio Innamorata reveals detail while intoning the kind of harmonic richness and divine tonal beauty that makes for musical bliss.

Take the time to audition the truly one-of-a-kind experience that is the “Innamorata” today.

It is so rich, so beautiful sounding, so well balanced, so engaging that I think one would have to be running truly awful equipment for it not to sound super in their rig. If you put the Innamorata in your system and it doesn’t sound right, start removing the other components!

What They're Saying about Innamorata

The Innamorata, boasts a certain textural liquidity and purity and appears far more full of zest and powerful on the extremes, and that allows it to flourish with a bevy of different (read: difficult to drive) loudspeakers.

The Innamorata seems to embody and complement what many have expressed in describing the effects of Bybee products. To hear an amplifier capitalize on these sonic virtues, then take it up another notch or two with the Music Rails, and not cost in excess of $20,000, is a remarkable feat. Realizing this, I stood with my mouth agape and thought…the world of high-end audio just got a lot more competitive.
Clement Perry, Stereo Times, October 2013

After listening to the Innamorata for an hour or so, a friend commented that the Innamorata ‘sounds like the best tube amp I ever heard, except that it has better bass than any other amplifier I’ve heard.’ That’s about as succinct yet accurate a summation as I could come up with. The Innamorata has none of the over-damped harmonic sterility I hear in so many me-too solid-state amplifiers. Its presentation is warm and emotionally engaging, drawing me in for hours with no listening fatigue, regardless of the kind of music playing… There isn’t a lot of surprise with my conclusions. Yes, I have purchased the Innamorata. Looking ahead, I don’t expect to find its equal any time soon.
