- Separated Solid state and tube preamps. The tube preamp can be added to the solid state stage to add varying amounts of tube saturation from subtle to brutal- Custom-made, fully discrete, class A op-amps (no off-the-shelf stuff here). 60V Rail operating voltage—twice as high as most common op-amps—for an incredible dynamic range.- All switch functions are handled by encapsulated relays with gold-plated contacts.- An extremely high amplifier slew rate of <40V/µs, ensuring clean transmission of high-frequency signal portions and rapid transients with virtually no clipping- An almost entirely DC-coupled signal path, making signal-degenerating condensers unnecessary.- An optimized layout guarantees the shortest possible signal paths, while generously proportioned grounding surfaces ensure low impedance and maximum shielding.- All resistors are within 0.1% tolerance and were selected after extensive listening tests.- A no-compromise power supply with extensive additional shielding and seven separately wound and regulated voltages.- A tube stage utilizing premium MKP foil condensers and a select 12 AX7 LPS tube for clear, dynamic audio.
