Commentary
This is a stereo power amplifier that inherits the technology developed in the OMEGA series.
A balanced amplifier configuration is adopted for all stages from the input to the output of the amplifier circuit.
This eliminates problems such as contamination of external noise and fluctuation of ground potential.
The power supply section uses a large sealed toroidal transformer and a high-voltage / high-current power supply that uses a large amount of high-quality, small-capacity capacitors.
It can also be used as a monaural power amplifier by bridge connection.
