Commentary

Pre-main amplifier equipped with D/A converter.

The D/A converter is equipped with a real 18-bit super-linear converter with independent left and right channels and a 4-times oversampling 18-bit digital filter.

An optical classA circuit is used in the power amplifier section to amplify the music as pure classA until the average level of music, and to amplify it at high output using a non-switching classA method that is effective in improving crossover distortion and switching distortion.
The high-speed bias control circuit controls the amplification method depending on the input level, and an optical element is used to transmit the control signal from the bias control circuit to the power transistor bias circuit. This eliminates interference between the main signal system and the bias control circuit completely, and achieves high-speed bias control.

F at the final stage of the power amplifierT20 MHz, Pc150W high-speed and large-capacity transistor is used in single push-pull.
In the power supply section, the combination of the power amplifier circuit and power supply circuit is strengthened to enhance the instantaneous response capability, and a 6.2 kg shielded power transformer is used as the power transformer.

The main signal and power supply are completely separated by sandwiching a large heat sink, and the left and right channel amplifier circuits are arranged in a symmetrical structure to eliminate differences in characteristics.

Equipped with an MC/MM equalizer amplifier.
