The circuit design comprises of two stages: the first stage uses 12AU7 vacuum tube in common-cathode configuration which provides moderate gain, minimum noise and high linearity to the amplified signal; The output stage uses 5687 or its equivalent 6N6-T as buffer to deliver sufficient power to the load. In additional to pre-amplifing input signal, this amplifier is capable to drive headphone directly whose impedance is often very low.
