Audiophile Quality Stereo Tube Amplifier
For most of us a high power tube amplifier is
unaffordable. This kit changes that, so that now everybody can enjoy
that sublime "tube sound". The sound of tubes has never been
surpassed by transistors or by FETs. In the course of developing this
amplifier, special attention was given to the housing so that the
expensive tubes are on display in a way that is very pleasing to the
eye. The weakest point of an tube amplifier are the output transformers;
that's the reason why we use ultra-linear and over-rated output
transformers (toroidal) to guarantee a rich bass response. To extend the
life of the precious valves, the amplifier is provided with a switch on
delay, so that the high voltage is switched on when the tubes are warmed
up.
