Significant Design Features:
· IR input for external control (all discrete codes)
· One line input which bypasses the gain control stage to accomodate a component,
such as home-theatre processor, whose own volume control is used instead
· Custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and
thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor. The
result is increased current speed and better dynamics
· An extremely short capacitor-free signal path measuring only 14 inches in length from
input RCA's to output binding posts, eliminating virtually all potential sources of
interference and producing a sonically faster transient response
· The power amplifier section uses a "no overall feedback" design resulting in real-time
amplification, more accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually
non-existent IMD (intermodulation distortion) and the elimination of common phase
errors resulting from feedback
· The gain section uses a Crystal microprocessor functioning as a "shunt to ground"
that doesn't degrade sonic performance regardless of the volume setting
· Class A output to 5 watts for greater efficiency
· Precision matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the
entire audio frequency spectrum
· Accurate matching of the very finest high quality electronic components
· A symmetrical circuit design
· PCB w/ pure copper tracings & gold plating that yields low impedance characteristics
· Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations
· Improved reliabilty through the elimination of moving parts
· Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance
· Low operating temperature to ensure a longer than normal life expectancy.
