1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the
Stereo
300
. A great deal of care has been taken in
the design, selection of components and
production of this amplifier. We are sure that you
will hear the difference.
The
Stereo 300
is a push-pull pure
triode stereo power amp, using the excellent 300B
valves in fixed bias mode. The driver and phase
splitting is all triode. The pre-amp is a high quality
‘Passive’ circuit using silver audio cable and an
ALPS ‘blue’ volume control. It is sensitive enough
to be used with all modern source equipment
having an output of 300mv or greater. Its
simplicity coupled with point to point hand wiring
without the use of printed circuit boards results in
an open euphoric sound that is wonderfully
detailed and warm sounding.
In order to get the best out of your amplifier,
please read the enclosed notes even if you are
experienced with valve amplifiers,
We would
recommend that everyone follow the ‘quick set
up guide’. This will enable to get the best
performance from your Stereo 300.
Should you
be uncertain about anything to do with your
amplifier please contact us for advice.
Hi fi reproduction is a long chain of events that
includes the recording, editing, mixing etc, before
being transferred to a medium such as LP, CD, or
FM, and finally played through your own system.
Your room acoustics will also affect the sound
before it finally reaches your ear. Whilst the
amplifier is arguably the most important part of a
system, it is important to remember that the
weakest link will always affect the final results
when making judgements. And not all recordings
are ‘equal’! Therefore an amplifier which faithfully
reproduces the input signal will also reproduce
imperfections in the tonal balance and the
recording itself. Therefore setting up and
judgements should be made with a ‘clean’ well
balanced recording.
