INTRODUCTION

You now own one of the best SET amplifiers in

the world!  Unlike the stereotypes associated

with single ended  designs, the SE84TS has

many unique features that set it apart from the

rest.  It’s point-to-point construction, lack of

circuit boards, and signal path consisting of only

a single capacitor and two resistors means noth-

ing sold today is more transparent or honest.  Of

course almost everything sold today claims to be

sonically transparent and absolutely accurate,

but when compared side by side to the Zen

TABOO, it usually isn’t.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

• 

Power Output

The SE84TS power output sits in the perfect spot on

the line of fidelity vs. power with respect to amplifier

design.  It is rated at 6 watts into an 8 ohm resistive

load with no visible or audible distortion.

• 

Output Transformer Design

You may have noticed that output transformers used in

single ended amplifiers are up to 3 times more expen-

sive then those used in push-pull applications.  This is

in part due to the air gap that must be integrated into

the transformer.  You can spend as much on a single
output transformer as you paid for this amplifier (

yes,

they exist

) , take it completely apart and find no

difference in quality between it and the transformers

used in your SE84TS.   We understood from the

beginning that output transformer design and quality

are what separate good sounding tube amps from

great sounding ones. The SE84TS has transformers

that were custom designed specifically for it, and are

made by Decware in the USA.

• 

Gold Plated Connectors and Sockets

Gold plated Input Jacks and Output Binding Posts

provide trouble free connections.  Ceramic tube sock-
ets with gold plated contacts provide protection from

atmospheric contamination.

• 

Non-Magnetic High Mass Chassis

The SE84TS is built on a T6 Aluminum plate over

2mm thick for zero flex.  This offers a noticeable
reduction in resonance when compared to a steel

chassis.  To further eliminate resonance, the plate

is coupled to a solid hardwood base.  The powder

coat finish is baked on and nearly impossible to

scratch without significant effort.  The rust proof

Aluminum combined with this finish ensures the

amplifier will look pristine for many, many years to

come.

• 

High Reliability - Low Maintenance

With an oversized power supply and the highest

grade of capacitors the SE84TS has less then

0.5mv of sag in the high voltage supply when the
amp is at full power and clipping.  This means the

power supply is never taxed and should therefor

last for many decades.  In addition, the self-biasing

design besides sounding best offers easy tube

changes with no adjustments or re-biasing needed.

These are just some of the reasons why we can

offer a Lifetime Warranty with this product.

• 

Tube rectification

This offers two distinct advantages over the more

common solid state rectification.  First is reliability.

Solid state rectifiers when used at these high volt-

ages (600 volts) are susceptible to voltage spikes
and even static electricity.  That means your ampli-

fier would need repair likely more then once during

it’s lifetime.  Using a tube rectifier means that you

can easily change it yourself if ever there was a

problem.  Tube rectification also sounds different

then solid state.  And contrary to popular belief, the

tube rectification actually has far superior bass.  It’s

tighter, more dimensional, and less artificial sound-

ing.
