DESCRIPTION

The Zen Triode Integrated is a 5~6 watt per channel - single-ended-triode amplifier 
using easy to find EL34/6CA7 output tubes.  It has zero negative feedback for unlimited 
sound-stage depth and superior imaging. It features tube rectification, proprietary 
Decware transformers, a self-biasing circuit with a bias meter for each output tube.  
Like the famous SE84C 2 watt Decware amplifier, this is a purist built product with the 
absolute minimum number of parts and solder nodes.  Between the input and output 
jacks there is only 1 capacitor, 2 resistors and our premium output transformers made 
from the finest US gain oriented silicon steel. (see section on transformers) 

The amplifier is available in five configurations...

Configuration 1 - Straight Amplifier with one pair of inputs and 
no volume or gain control(s).

Configuration 2 - “Integrated” amplifier featuring a volume 
control so that it can be used without a preamplifier.

Configuration 3 - “Integrated” amplifier with dual volume 
controls, one for each channel.

Configuration 4 - “Integrated” amplifier featuring multiple 
inputs for 4 different sources.

Configuration 5 - “Integrated” amplifier just like configuration 
4 but with dual volume controls.
