To get the best out of the BA 3 Please read the
enclosed notes. We have tried to give you all the
basic
information
you
recommend that everyone follows the 'quick set
up guide'. Should you be uncertain about anything
to do with your BA 3 please contact your dealer or
us.
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 3 has a
massive overload capability and even then would go
will
need.
We
would
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 6N6 valves, which are still in
production, means that obtaining replacements is
easy and inexpensive when necessary.
In the process of building the BA 3 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.
