Description:
The amplifier is the muscle of the music system, if the DAC is the brain and heart. I can not sleep well thnking that many LampizatOr DACs end up with transistor amplifiers or chip amplifiers for home theatre. I believe that this amplifier offers terrific value: surely it is not cheap, 4000 Euro is hardly pocket change but it is the lowest price for which a decent amplifier can be built from parts that were not actually stolen but purchased with an invoice. There are no miracles - if someone offers cheaper power amps of this class - he is either selling them under cost to get rid of them or using children slave labor in far away camps. Or simplt the technology has too many compromises like underpowered transformers, underrated voltage specs, undersized caps.
I offer good price because the amps share half of their parts with the lampizator DAC - the front panel, the caps, sockets, small tubes, all input and driver circuits and supplies.
The amplifier employs only the most radically “kosher” circuit features like:
- Single ended operation from input to output
- Pure Class A
- Zero feedback
- Zero solid state parts in audio circuits
- Unregulated and overspecified supplies
- Separate transformers for each task (three in total)
- Short signal path - from RCA to pot 2 inches of silver wire, 2 inches of silver wire from pot to first tube, one inch to second tube and a hop across one capacitor to main tube without additional wiring.
- Tube parameters are monitored on analog needle meter
- No need for triode matching as the bias is set manually
Possibility to compensate aging drift on power tubes Pre-heating operation mode for tube saving
All tubes will be available forever in plentiful supply
Tube parameters are monitored on analog needle meter No need for triode matching as the bias is set manually Possibility to compensate aging drift on power tubes
Pre-heating operation mode for tube saving
The signal stages - input and driver are DC coupled (hard wired) without caps, interstage transformers or anything like that
Pots can be bypassed completely by toggle switch for the “power amp” operation mode.
