    DESIGN PHILOSOPHY I. Design Philosophy and Approach The circuitry utilized in the FET PREAMPLIFIER 02b is the result of an advanced and complete design process combining innovation and proven fundamentals. This process avoids both the limitations of total adherence to convention and the flaws resulting from inappropriate application of clever circuit gimmicks.
  • Page 9 The requirements of a power supply for flawless audio reproduction are straightforward but important. The supplies in the FET PREAMPLIFIER 02b take a very direct approach to high performance. First, a top quality shielded toroid transformer with plenty of reserve current capability is used.
