Commentary

Tube bulb type control amplifier.

Bi-triode 12AX7 with Takamasu depth factor is used for the first stage of the equalizer stage and the output stage.
In addition, 12AU7 is used for the flat amplifier, which is basically the same circuit as the equalizer stage.
The final stage adopts 12AU7 and all stages have a simple design of S. R. P. P. output.

In order to avoid the degradation of sound quality by applying too much NFB, we aim to improve the naked characteristics of the amplifier while maintaining the freshness of sound by applying the optimum NFB.

The power supply to the equalizer circuit and tone circuit is completely separated, and independent stabilization reduces distortion caused by signal interference between amplification sections.
The same consideration is also given to the heater circuit to create pure sound.
In addition, the S. T. A. R. circuit has been adopted to further improve sound quality.
