Commentary
Tube bulb type stereo power amplifier.
The model number has been changed 3 times : EAA-2009, SU-2009 and SU-40A.
The Mulard type is used for the circuit configuration. Low-noise tube 6267 is used for the first stage, and 12AT7 with low internal resistance and Takamasu depth factor is used for the driver stage.
The output transformer is equipped with a cathode winding. By applying a 6 dB cathode NF to the output tube, both the high output of the 5-pole tube and the low internal resistance of the 3-pole tube are achieved.
The NF of the main loop is 20 dB, and the distortion at the rated output is suppressed to 0.1% or less.
A circuit is adopted in the bridge which combines current feedback and voltage feedback, and the damping factor can be continuously varied up to + 0.5 ~∞~-3 without changing the gain.
With this variable damping factor function, you can select two levels by switching the switch : the whole band and the low frequency range of 500 Hz or less.
Inside the front panel, there are independent level controls on the left and right sides, a low-cut filter (15 Hz or less, 6dB/oct), a speaker phase switch and a speaker impedance switch.
