beautiful finish and very solid feel, which also has
sonic non-magnetic and dampening qualities.
Connecting:
The BA2 MKII 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 BA2
MKII 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 BA2 MKIIs 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.
To get the best out of the BA2 MKII Please read the
enclosed notes. We have tried to give you all the
basic

recommend that everyone follows the 'quick set
up guide'. Should you be uncertain about anything
to do with your BA2 MKII please contact your dealer
or us.
Our philosophy is to use traditional valve minimalist,
circuitry. The beauty of valve amplifiers is that they
will
need.
We
would
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 BA2 MKII 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 BA2 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.
