20 W Stereo Integrated Audio Amplifier
Hammond transformers are used throughout. The transformers are conservatively rated, providing
wide operating margins.
The output circuit utilizes a screen-tap configuration to optimize sonic performance. Generous
power supply filtering ensures a rock-steady reserve for the output stage.
Adjustable bias to the push-pull output tubes provides a wide range of operating points,
allowing users to find a good middle point between top performance and long tube life.
Beyond the great specs, the amplifier sounds very nice. Clean. Warm. Interesting. Like a tube
amp should sound.
The 20 W Stereo Integrated Amplifier is powerful enough to fill a room with great-sounding
music, and small enough to be practical for headphone listening. Aside from the obvious
application of this product in a home audio system, the 20 W Stereo Integrated Amplifier is ideal
for use in computer sound applications—for driving speakers or headphone listening (or both).
The amplifier generates little heat and (for a tube amplifier) consumes little power. Turn it on
and let it run. Put on some music and enjoy audio as it should be heard.
