Pure Class A triode vacuum-tube output stage for single-ended & balanced operation Signal Path We believe that the simplest circuits work best together with the shortest signal path. That is why our pre-amplifiers to date have used single-ended Pure Class A circuitry. The shorter the signal path, the less possibility of sonic degradation from various sources, including the wire itself.  Even on the circuit boards, the copper traces are kept to a very minimum length. The completely redesigned circuit board provides a more straightforward and direct approach to the signal paths.  • Logical sequenced soft-start power up for extended tube life

• Warm up function
• 0dB negative feedback (of any kind )
• Ultra short signal path
• Simplest direct circuit path for purest musical sound and highest reliability
• Low output impedance for driving long runs – interconnect to an amplifier, tube or solid
state power amplifier
• No solid state devices in the analog tube output (signal path )
• Minimal discrete wiring for optimum signal propagation
• No followers or buffers in the signal path
• No DC servo that degrades the signal
• Highest quality parts throughout
• Fully hand assembled to insure the highest level of craftsmanship
• Separate analog output stage for left and right channel
• The volume is controlled 100% in the analogue domain
• DAC digital input – S/PDIF (RCA) , AES/EBU (XLR), I2S, BNC, USB, 3 x BNC for DSD;
• Digital output – S/PDIF (RCA)
• Ultra-low jitter internal clock generator

Power Supply

The power supplies have been further refined with new components and enhanced AC line noise
filtration. Separate power transformer windings and filters provide total isolation between the
input and output stage which makes this a pure power source and it is a critical attribute for a
6H30/5687 output stage. We also use electrolytic capacitors with much larger storage capacity to
make up for the loss in filtering when using resistors in lieu of inductors.

• 2 separate R-Core / Low noise – insulated power transformer for digital & analog
• Innovative power supply provides a high speed energy delivery on transients
• Separate and isolated power supplies over each stage of amplification
• Tube rectification for 6H30/5687 analog output stage
• Choke filtering for 6H30/5687
• Regulated DC filament supplies with soft start for 6H30/5687
• AC power line filter to avoid noise and hash from entering into the unit
• 10 separate voltage regulators
