CIRCUIT DESIGN

The Zen amp is a combination of simple yet unique circuit design, high quality parts selected for
their signature,
intense quality control, and layout.
The small size makes possible the art of hand soldering the entire circuit with only parts leads
and no hook-up wire. The ground buss is silver and so are the cathode leads. The power
supply is significantly over sized and breaths naturally with the music while holding steady to
less than a 0.05 millivolt tolerance at full clipping.
There are only 11 solder points between the input and output jacks of this amplifier making it
actually simpler than a solid state Op-amp. Output transformers were meticulously designed
and hand built for this amplifier, as is the power transformer.
These features combine to create a unique and magical amplifier that will sound better than
anything in its power range.

shipping block between the transformers).
