Commentary

Pre-main amplifier that uses DLD (dynamic linear drive) circuit.

A DLD circuit is used to provide high current supply capability even under low impedance loads and to draw out the performance of all types of speakers.
This improves the ability to supply instantaneous power and makes it possible to drive a speaker system that repeats complex movements.

Σ drive system is adopted.
In addition to the waveform transmission at the input terminal of the amplifier, the waveform change at the input terminal of the speaker is suppressed even if a connection cable of several meters is used.

The equalizer amplifier uses a high SN, low distortion circuit with an ICL high GmFET differential input and an operational amplifier.
In particular, the grounding section uses a wire rod with a cross-sectional area six times larger than that of the conventional wire rod, which consists of 26 straight 0.26 mm single wires twisted together.

Each stage is laid out along the signal flow. In the power amplifier, the B-class stage and the A-class stage are placed on separate boards. In addition, the equalizer stage and the main stage are shielded by a large radiator to prevent interference between each block.
In addition, the power transformer is shielded to prevent adverse effects on the circuit such as power flux.
