The story of MastersounD is deeply rooted in the passion and craftsmanship of its founders, and it has evolved significantly under the leadership of Antonio Ferro, the current CEO.
A Rich Legacy of Craftsmanship
MastersounD’s roots trace back to the 1950s, with Cesare Sanavio’s pioneering work on output transformers. This legacy is carried on by his son Luciano, who continues to refine the transformer design to ensure the best performance. Each amplifier is handcrafted with the finest components, built from scratch to meet the company’s exacting standards.
Innovating the Output Transformer
MastersounD’s output transformers are central to its amplifiers’ signature sound. Through continuous innovation, the company uses thicker wire and fewer turns to achieve greater efficiency and speed. The result is an amplifier that delivers exceptional performance and longevity, with minimal stress on the tubes.
A Vision for the Future
As the company approaches its 30th anniversary, Luciano Sanavio remains focused on pushing the boundaries of audio technology. MastersounD’s goal is simple: to create amplifiers that deliver unparalleled performance, ensuring every listener experiences pure, natural sound.
ITALIAN STYLE IN CLASS ”A”
Within the confines of its laboratory in Arcugnano, Italy, MastersounD's seasoned artisans meticulously manufacture each amplifier with unwavering attention to detail. This process involves carefully selecting and forging the finest components, paving the way by creating distinct handcrafted masterpieces made to last.
A MATTER
OF VALVES
MastersounD specialises in designing and manufacturing high-quality, pure triode single-ended valve amplifiers. Renowned for their exceptional sound quality, these amplifiers offer the unique advantage of combining the purity of single-ended architecture with the power required to drive a wide range of speakers.

With its 30th anniversary on the horizon, Luciano Sanavio and his team continue to lead MastersounD in redefining audio excellence. The brand’s mission remains clear: to craft amplifiers that set new standards in performance, delivering an authentic and immersive listening experience for all.
An integral facet of crafting exceptional valve amplifiers is producing the output transformer, the beating heart of any amplifier. MastersounD's output transformers are individually hand-wound on a mechanical winding machine in-house. This process, rooted in the passion, experience, and research of the late Cesare Sanavio, has been elevated to new heights by his son, Luciano Sanavio. Luciano has preserved the tradition and pioneered an exclusive transformer construction technique proprietary to MastersounD amplifiers.
