Yet another key improvement is the addition of a bias meter, making bias adjustments very easy. One just needs to push a button for the tube to be checked and the meter will display if the bias is in an acceptable band.
Using the included screwdriver, one can easier adjust the needle to the middle and voila, you are done! One no longer needs to use a multi-meter and access the test points to adjust bias but that option remains. Other features include selectable Ultra-Linear and Triode modes and VU meters for each channel, all assessible on the front panel of the handsomely designed chassis. Selectable Ultra Linear and Triode operating modes for output stage.
High voltage turn-on delay for soft starts to the power tubes. Automatic input muting during power on.
Audiophile capacitors and precision metal film resistors used throughout. Specially wound output transformers using OFC copper and Japanese audiophile silicon steel core material. High quality RCA input jacks and heavy-duty speaker connectors.
38W per channel (Ultra Linear mode), 26W per channel (Triode mode). Less than 1% at 1kHz. Better than 90dB (A weighted). 6N8P x 2, 6N9P x 1, EL34 x 4. 19" x 18" x 13 60lbs.
