1. General Description The Absolare Hybrid Stereo Amplifier is a tube input / solid state output hybrid design, dual-mono stereo amplifier. The single ended tube input section is inspired by the Absolare Preamplifier using two 12AU7/ECC82 (or compatible) tubes. The output section is all solid-state.
After opening the top cover of the box, remove the upper layer of hard foam material. You can then lift the Hybrid Stereo Amplifier from its box cradling it with the cloth that is underneath the chassis. Retain the cloth and all packing materials for future use.
12AU7 / ECC82 tubes have one missing pin acting as a correct positioning key. Align the missing pin with the missing hole in the tube socket while inserting. ABSOLARE Hybrid Stereo Amplifier User Manual 1.2...
