3. POWER SUPPLY INPUT & OUTPUT STAGE:
The input voltage gain stage of the SOLITAIRE is isolated via the
high-current output stage via a two stage’capacity-multiplier’ cir-
cuit which uses the beta of the transistors to multiply the
fi ltering
e  ect of the capacitor used. The simplicity of this circuit allows the
elimination of any output bypassing capacitors which would
otherwise reduce the apparent speed and degrade the sound
quality of this ampli
fi er.
4. PROTECTION CIRCUITS: To eliminate the sonic colourations
imposed by sophisticated current limiting protection circuits, the
SOLITAIR Euses only the short M205 fuse types to protect the high
current stages.Apart from the fuses is a four pole relay in series
with the loudspeaker connections. If over 0.6VDC is sensed at the
ampli
fi er output, the relay is activated until the condition is
recti fi ed.
