• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
    performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
    the safety precautions around high voltages.

Main features

-KISS topology
-100-240 V AC supply voltage
-Heater soft start 10 sec
-Outputs shorted 45sec while tubes warm up and ... if supply suddenly drops
-Output-voltage limiter about 10Vrms to protect sensitive poweramp inputs
-Max gain 1140 at 1kHz after latest mods ... (was 1250 earlier) .. adjustable
-Phase is accurate ... +0.0 ... -3.3 degrees 20Hz to 20k
-Frequency response +-0.1dB 20Hz to 20k vs RIAA
-Measures good values and sounds excellent
