the TVC transparency thing?

I will let you measure them!
I am really pleased with them, hoping to get hold of the head amp next, heard it at Ralph's where it made a huge difference, speedier, more resolution, ( taken for granted I know nothing ) but Mr Park seems to share some of your design philosophies, the new parallel single ended has much more substantial trannies, apparently! Very best ,Keith.

 

There's no distortion spec for the 40W rating. According to the manufacturer by the standards of the 1950s it's a 10W amp...

FWIW I have the technology to measure it, should the opportunity arise.

Thats inflation for you.

 

maybe it's into a 32ohm load?

 

Hi,

It looks odd getting 40 watts from a pair of push pull 300B. You can get certain types of 300B that can produce 25 watts each (50 watts puss pull.)

Looking on the Allnic site, the amps use Western Electric 300Bs. I wonder if it is class AB not class A.

The specs are on the site.

There's certainly something unusual going on. There's not much iron there - the weight of the monoblock is very low. The bandwidth very surprising and the alledged damping factor suggests the tubes aren't being used in a traditional arrangement at all.

 

If I was starting from scratch now, I'd get one of these as a pre:

Transparent and totally flexible (oh, and they look cool). the eight channel version even has analog meters

 

Too many dials to fiddle with Joel.
