Model 1a Single-Ended Tube Amplifier

Weighing in at more than 40 lbs, this hand-assembled amplifier is constructed in the U.S.A. using point-to-point wiring and delivers the characteristic, inviting sonic performnce of single-ended amplification. The Model 1a's elegant circuitry lives within an optimized, 16-guage steel footprint to reduce noise and improve resolution. We've engineered the power supply to reside in an elevated section of the chassis, thereby isolating the noisy B+ voltage from the susceptible signal pathways. We've also managed to invert the massive 10H choke transformer within that same dedicated compartment, creating a clean aesthetic finish worthy of your listening room. With premium input RCAs, solid brass speaker outputs and massive output transformers, the Model 1a makes no sacrifies in the pursuit of pure audio bliss.
