TRIODE 88Signature
¥ 550,000 (released in 2000)
Commentary
Tube type stereo pre-main amplifier using KT88.
KT88 parallel push-pull circuit configuration is adopted.
In this configuration, the maximum output is 140W + 140W, but with the 88 Signature, it is limited to 70W + 70W for long-term stable operation. This allows for a more balanced output over the entire bandwidth.
Switching between UL connection and 3-line connection is possible.
Equipped with 2 Ω output terminal, it is also compatible with the drive of a hand impedance speaker.
The power supply is equipped with independent transformers on the left and right sides to eliminate mutual interference between channels.
The internal layout is a fully symmetrical monaural symmetric configuration.
A pre-in connector is provided so that it can also be used as a power amplifier.
Uses an input / output protect circuit.
TAOC special order insulators are used for the legs.
High-grade power supply cable μ -PS15 of Furukawa Electric is used for the cable.
