Aura British Stingray
¥ 150,000 (around 1999)
Commentary
An integrated amplifier developed as a 10th anniversary model of Aura Design.
MOS-FET single push-pull configuration is adopted for the output stage.
The four power MOS FETs used follow the layout of the early model in close proximity and have good operating conditions.
The heat sink is eliminated because of the thermal constraint.
At British Stingray, we have thoroughly reviewed all parts, including electrical parts such as capacitors, power transformers, chassis, lids and other exterior parts, as well as improved installation strength.
Newly designed tape monitor switch and protection circuit are mounted.
Stainless steel is used for the front panel and chrome finish is applied.
