An oversized power supply · A custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding a much better power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in improved current speed and better dynamics · An extremely short capacitor-free signal path measuring under 20 inches in length from input RCA's to output binding posts, eliminating virtually all potential sources of interference and producing a sonically faster transient response.· Gain section using a Crystal microprocessor functioning as a "shunt to ground" that doesn't degrade sonic performance regardless of the setting · One single-ended audio input which bypasses the gain stage to accomodate a component, such as home-theatre processor, whose own volume control is used instead · amplifier section using a "no overall feedback" design resulting in real-time amplification, more accurate   musical   reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually non-existent intermodulation distortion and the elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback · Class A output to 5 watts to maintain efficiency · Precision matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio frequency spectrum · Accurate matching of the high quality electronic components · A symmetrical circuit design · Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics · Improved reliabilty through the elimination of moving parts · Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance · Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
