Commentary

Pre-main amplifier with real 20-bit S. L. C and optical ClassA circuit.

The D/A converter is equipped with a real 20-bit super-linear converter with independent left and right channels.
It receives a 20-bit 8 x over-sampled signal produced by a digital filter and performs excellent D/A conversion.
The digital multi-interface circuit automatically identifies the difference in sampling frequency between CD, DAT and satellite broadcasting, and eliminates the influence of jitter (temporal fluctuation of digital signals) by using a powerful 2 PLL configuration for the internal clock required for demodulation.

The P. B. S (Penta Block Separated) chassis structure, which separates the amplifier into five blocks for each basic circuit, prevents magnetic flux from the power supply block and digital noise from the digital block and display block from jumping into other circuits.
In addition, interference between the minute signal part and the large extension Gobu is resolved, and at the same time, unnecessary minute vibration is suppressed by greatly improving the chassis rigidity.

An optical ClassA circuit is newly installed in the power amplifier section.
This circuit is a class A circuit that uses an optical element to transmit the control signal sent from the bias control circuit to the bias circuit, and eliminates the interference between the main signal system and the bias control circuit.
The voltage amplification stage, which is important for driving the power amplification stage, uses three differential amplification stages and the first stage uses an ultra-low noise FET to achieve low noise and DC amplification. The final stage of the power amplifier uses a Pc80W high-speed, large-capacity transistor in parallel push-pull.

The power supply unit has enhanced instantaneous response capability.
The power transformer employs a 6.3 kg heavy weight large shielded power transformer, a high-class large rectifier and electrolytic capacitor, and a 2-2 pure dynamic circuit that blocks power supply noise.

Equipped with a wide-range MC/MM equalizer amplifier that employs a DC servo system.

It is equipped with a source direct switch that can connect all input sources directly to the power amplifier, broadband real-time tone control, protection relay speaker terminal switching, and reset-type high-speed protection circuit.

There are gold type with side wood and black type.
