taken in the design, selection of components and
production of this amplifier. We are sure that you
will hear the difference.

please read the enclosed notes. Even if you are
experienced with hi fi Please read the 'quick set

excellent KT66/88 valves in fixed bias mode. The

audio cable and an ALPS 'blue' volume control. It
