This is a 125 watt monoblock amp that uses four output tubes in a parallel push pull output circuit. The amp is built on a 10 inch by 12 inch 16 gauge brushed stainless steel chassis and uses a modified VTA Mark III driver circuit. The recommended tube complement is 4 X KT88, 6550, KT90, KT100 or KT120 output tubes, 2 X 12AU7 or 12BH7 driver tubes, and a 5AR4/GZ34 tube rectifier or a Weber WZ68 Copper cap solid state rectifier.

On the front face is an on/off switch and three bias test pins. One test pin is used in biasing the two left output tubes and one test pin is used in biasing the two right output tubes. The bottom center test pin is a ground pin. The rear face contains one RCA input jack, a fuse holder, an IEC AC connector, and a pair of output binding posts. The output binding posts may be set up for 4, 8 or 16 ohm speakers. The amp has a switch which allows operation in pentode/ultralinear mode (125 watts) or triode mode (65 watts). The triode/ultralinear switch may be used while the amp is running.

NOTE - The amp may also be operated with just TWO OUTPUT TUBES - one left side output tube and one right side output tube. The amp just needs to be rebiased when switching to two output tube mode. With just two output tubes, the amp will have about 65 watts available in pentode ultralinear mode and about 35 watts in triode mode.

Power output (4 X KT88) 125 watts from 17 Hz to 32 KHz at less than 1% THD in ultralinear - 65 watts in triode Power output (2 X KT88) 65 watts from 17 Hz to 34 KHz at less than 1% THD in ultralinear - 35 watts in triode
