Commentary
An integrated amplifier designed by Tim de Paravicini.
It uses the newly developed EL519 Enhanced Triode mode that ensures the sound quality and reliability of pure triode.
The newly developed pre-stage DC coupling eliminates condensers that degrade sound quality from between stages.
For the transformer, Tim de Paravicini himself winds up a special transformer which he has developed for several decades.
The input is provided in the Line 5 and can be used as an integrated amplifier or a power amplifier.
