In the tradition of our legendary transistor and valve output stages we developed the

pre-amplifier for optimum sound quality, neutrality and ultra-wide dynamics.

Naturally the unit features a two-stage volume control with ALPS precision

potentiometer for a wide overload margin and good signal-to-noise ratios, plus goldcontact relays for the input select switches to guarantee freedom from distortion and

noise, and an oversized mains power supply section with a toroidal transformer for

low interference and separate buffering of each stage; this ensures that the amplifier

has huge energy reserves - just as you would expect from T+A High-End

equipment. A Flat switch is provided, so that the sophisticated tone controls and

loudness function can be removed completely from the signal path when desired.

The power output stages are new, and represent a further development of the

outstanding output stages employed in our TCI High-End active loudspeakers.

These are switch-mode power amplifiers (“digital output stages”) whose output

signal is generated by a large number of very short positive and negative pulses.

These new switch-mode output stages were developed entirely in-house, in contrast

to the “off-the-peg” integrated ready-made IC amplifiers used by other producers,

and are of discrete construction, equipped with the latest ultra-fast MOSFET

transistors and high-energy intelligent driver modules.
