Overview
Eminently capable pure Class A monophonic power amplifier with power MOS-FET technology – Ultra-low-noise double instrumentation amplifier configuration enables fully balanced signal transmission, augmented by double MCS+ circuit and current feedback topology. Experience astounding S/N ratio and impeccable sound quality on a level that has to be heard to be believed. A hefty power supply and 20 power MOS-FETs arranged in a parallel push-pull configuration deliver 1,000 watts (music signal) into an ultra-low 1-ohm load. Output stage with further lowered impedance results in a damping factor of 1,000.
