Despite its small size it weighs in at 3.00kg.
Connecting:
The BA 2 would normally be connected between the
output of your source unit (e.g. CD player), or
between the output of a pre-amplifier and a power-
amp. Alternatively the "record loop" of an integrated
amplifier may be used.
But there are many other situations where the BA 2
could be used, in studios, AV equipment etc.
What will it do for your sound?
The simple triode design coupled with the superb
characteristics of the 6SN7 valve will enrich the
harmonic detail of your system adding a new
dimension to the sound of any musical instrument.
Your system will immediately have a richer warmer,
more textured sound But the BA 2s wide bandwidth
and low distortion ensure that nothing is detracted
from the purity of your system. There will be no loss
of information, a glance at the frequency response
and distortion will confirm the excellence of the
performance.

Our philosophy is to use traditional valve minimalist,
circuitry. The beauty of valve amplifiers is that they
are usually very simple; therefore with the use of
traditional point-to point construction, modern high
performance low tolerance components, it is possible
to very high sonic performance. This simplicity
enables us to avoid the use of printed circuit boards,
which are not ideal for valve amplifiers despite their
common use.
Although technical performance is important, we
never forget that sound quality takes overriding
priority in our design and production. The BA 2 has a
massive overload capability and even then would go
into 'soft clipping', which is much more benign and
easier on the ear than overload with transistors.
The simplicity of the circuit means that there are
much fewer components for the signal to pass
through, fewer connections and switches, again
adding to the purity of sound.
This simplicity also means that we can use higher
quality oversized components, such as 2w resistors.
The use of the fabulous 6SN7 valves, which are still
in production, means that obtaining replacements is
easy and inexpensive when necessary.
In the process of building the BA 2 to its high
standard no corners have been cut and we have also
paid close attention to the appearance.
The final result is an amplifier with excellent
characteristics, with an accurate yet smooth and
transparent quality.
