- The dust cover plate around the tubes on top can be ordered in these colors:
-
- Stainless steel mirror-like chrome look
- Black Hole black matt
TUBE COMPLIMENT:
- 1 x 5U4G rectifier or equivalent, 274B, 5Y3, 5C3S, GZ34, GZ37, GZ480, 5AR4WGB
- 4 x 6N1P dual triode as input buffer or 6N6P or 6N30P or ECC88 or E88CC or PCC88 or 6DJ9 or 6922 or adapter fitted ECC99, ECC40, VT99, 6F8G, 6900, 12BH7, 5687, 12AU7
- 4 x 6J5 single triode as output buffer or 6V6 pentode (without adapter), also 6C2C - Bakelite or Metalbase, also L63 and CV1067
- All circuit consists of 4 identical mono circuits and each of phases has three tube stages: input buffer, amplifier and output buffer. The remote control for the first time is not before the tubes or after the tubes but in between stages, making it the most transparent and benign volume control ever.
- Warranty : Standard warranty is 3 years (excluding tubes), Can be extended to 5 years or Lifetime
Remote Control - CNC milled metal "slab" remote
Display: OLED display (amber color, monochrome)
Packing in custom hand made flight case
