Specifications 

 

The 750 specifications are detailed in brief and then subsequently in more detail.  
In  the  detailed  version,  we  attempt  to  explain  the  significance  of  each 
specification. 

The  correlation  between  published  specifications  and  sonic  quality  can  be 
unreliable.    A  list  of  numbers  reveals  virtually  nothing.    All  technical 
measurements  must  be  subject  to  qualitative  as  well  as  quantitative 
interpretation.    M easurements  of  the  750  reveal  excellent  results  by  any 
standards.  Tested at 115V and 230V after a 10 minute warm up period.
