Introduction The Mapletree Audio Design Ear+ HD Super II Stereo Headphone Amplifier represents a high performance development of the Ear+ family. The use of a high capacity power supply provides increased power output and lower driving impedance employing widely available EL84 output tubes and 12AX7/5751 drivers. The separate power supply chassis allows flexibility in positioning each unit and reduces the heat seen by components in the main amplifier chassis.

The RCA input jacks (IN 1– IN 2) are wired in parallel to permit patching the source signal to a preamp or integrated amp without the need for Y-adaptors. Left channel jacks are at the top. The input impedance is 50 k? . The headphone output jacks are standard ¼"...

Infrequently, a heater may burn out which is indicated by total loss of sound. The Ear+ HD Super II is supplied with 2 – 5751/12AX7 (driver), 2 – EL84/6BQ5 (output) tubes. Matched pairs are not required.
