FEATURES
Audio current drive amplifier
An unusual
current transfer circuit design keeps the preamplifier
and power amplifier stages electrically separate, thus equalling the
quality of separate amplifiers.
Legato linear power amplifier stage
The operation of the power
amplifier stage is stable without any
observable distortion up through the higher frequencies. We
call
this power amplifier "iegato linear', because
its switching
distor-
tion is very low and its output waveform smooth.
Wide dynamic range of 120 dB
The
use
of Audio
Current
Transfer
technique
and
legato
linear
power amplifier stage has made the amplifier's dynamic range as
wide as 120 dB in actual use. This assures high-quality reproduction
of digital audio sources.
CD DIRECT switch for pure CD sound reproduction
When
you press the CD DIRECT
switch, all circuits whichare
not
necessary for CD playback are bypassed
and you can enjoy pure
digital sound.
Accepts either of the two types of cartridge
The high-gain equalizer amplifier stage using low-noise transistors
accepts both moving-coil and moving-magnet cartridges.
