EASY TO CONNECT, EASY TO USE
Our proprietary Totem-Pole Output Stage design, with six independent audio stages per single tube, guarantees ultra-wide bandwidth response and ultra-low distortion to deliver the purest audio signal ever.
Thanks to new audio inputs on the rear panel our valve output stages can be connected with up to two sources at the same time using the TUBE INPUT for the Gold Note sources and the LINE INPUT for other manufacturers.
The input can be easily selected from the front panel for maximum convenience and ease of use.
