- Page 2 Decware transformers, a self-biasing circuit with a bias meter for each output tube. Like the famous SE84C 2 watt Decware amplifier, this is a purist built product with the absolute minimum number of parts and solder nodes. Between the input and output jacks there is only 1 capacitor, 2 resistors and our premium output transformers made from the finest US gain oriented silicon steel.
- Page 3 TRUE TRIODE. We find the EL34 wired this way in our circuits to be more neutral than the darker sounding 300B’s and without the over-inflated price for the tubes, a lot more practical. Decware High Fidelity Engineering Co., East Peoria IL, USA www.decware.com...

20 mills. It’s a nice visual indicator that lets you know if your amp is clipping. Decware amplifiers clip so gracefully it can be sometimes hard to notice when you have it turned up too loud.

This is common for all tube amps except that MOST will absolutely fail if this is done and so far no Decware amp ever has, but just because you would have to try repeatably to damage your amp does not mean your output tubes will car for it. - Page 8 Higher initial permeability. Higher permeability at higher inductions. More stable VA/Temperature relationship over a wide range of ambient temperatures.
