MODEL - ZEN TORII MK V - OWNER’S MANUAL DATE 11/2021
COMMENTS FROM THE DESIGNER
The TORII MK5 is the latest in a long lineage of TORII amplifiers and
is our best yet.
TORII is the Zen term describing a gate to enlightenment or enhanced
consciousness. We name it this for reason we think you’ll find obvious
once you have owned one for awhile.
Where did the TORII come from? Well, when you hear one of our 2 watt
Zen Triode amplifiers, you leave knowing the only thing that could
possibly be better than that is MORE OF IT. Meaning, the same sound,
more power. What makes the sound so good is among other things,
transparency. Transparency is directly tied to the number of parts
and materials used in the circuit. More parts less transparency.
Problem is, amps with more power require more parts. This is what
makes this now 22 year effort so unique... the TORII design is
special, it allows you to have your cake and eat it too by giving you
that same even order harmonic sound with enough power to have some
real fun.
The MK 5 compared to prior models takes everything to a slightly
higher level, a side effect of building thousands of amps by hand and
always coming up with ways to improve them.
I hope you enjoy the fidelity of this amplifier as much as I do, and
invite you to call me directly anytime you have questions about it, or
just about how to eliminate the next weakest links in your audio
chain.
