Know before you buy
Class A operation ensures that the transistors are always conducting, which eliminates crossover distortion. This results in a highly linear, smooth, and natural sound profile that prioritizes musical fidelity.
While 45 watts may seem modest, the high-current design allows this amplifier to handle a wide variety of speakers with authority. It is best suited for speakers with moderate to high sensitivity in medium-sized rooms.
Hand-matching components ensures that each channel performs identically, which is critical for maintaining a precise soundstage and balanced stereo imaging. This process minimizes inconsistencies that can occur during mass manufacturing.
The JFET input stage provides high input impedance and low noise, which helps preserve the delicate signal from your preamplifier. This contributes to the amplifier's impressive 124dB signal-to-noise ratio and overall clarity.
Yes, because it operates in Class A, the unit will generate significant heat during normal operation. You should place it on an open shelf with plenty of clearance on all sides to ensure proper airflow.
