Congratulations from BK Butler
Please accept my sincere thanks and congratulations for making your
musical choice my hand-made “
MONAD”
A100 amplifier. This new
USA-Patented
technology is an inherently classic design.
Definition:
MONAD: “The ineffable source of all being and existence. Singly
superior to all others yet fully known only to itself”…
…
After more than 25 years of tube audio experience in the Professional
Music Industry with some of the world's greatest musical talents, I’ve
created an entirely new type of tube audio amplifier. Utilizing the
incomparable qualities of our proprietary audiophile-grade 300B
power triode in SE Class A mode, an amplifier without equal has been
achieved. Producing more than 100Watts RMS of power with
ZERO
negative feedback and greater than 2 Farads (2,000,000 uF) of
primary Class A voltage supply filtering on board, the
MONAD
rightly
becomes the new vacuum tube audio standard of the industry.
The Past is the Future
u
The
MONAD
A100 incorporates the finest application of the pure
"Edison Effect," or the
essence
of Thermionic vacuum tube emissions
to produce every nuance and characteristic of the best classic SE
300B triode tube amplifiers at more than 10 times the previous
usable power. With painstaking efforts and great attention to detail,
the sonic response, load and transfer characteristics of the classic
300B power triode tube have been carefully balanced to operate
under optimum conditions at extremely useful and satisfying power
output levels.
This groundbreaking design completely eliminates one of the most
inefficient and non-musical components in typical 300B SE amplifiers:
the Output Transformer. Without hundreds of feet of phase-shifting,
musicality-robbing wire and many pounds of induction-generating core
iron to overcome, my newly patented current-multiplying DC coupling
circuitry allows the 300B output driver tube to directly operate into a
fixed ratio-reduced speaker output load. This novel design results in
the production of authentic triode tube characteristics many times
greater in power than the normal capability of 300B tubes yet all their
superior musical qualities are retained.
I invite you to enjoy the finest 300B SE amplifier on the planet. The
CNC casing has been precision machined from the finest billet
aluminum. Over 100 hrs. were spent on the machining, fit and finish of
the case alone. The
MONAD
A100 is truly the result of a painstaking
labor of love for the art. It has been my pleasure to design and build
this finest of amplifiers for you.
Sincerely,
BK Butler, Designer and Builder
