HiFi Amplifiers

The first High Fidelity amplifier I built was a resistor loaded parallel feed  circuit. This circuit sounded so good that for many years I could not build a better sounding hifi amp. Since then I focus on Single Ended designs to find the ultimate sound.

The Mars Stereo Push-Pull
integrated amplifier




When it comes to push-pull circuits, the miniature pentode EL84 types is our tube of choice.  We acquired some Partridge Ultra Linear output tranformers and designed a balanced circuit around them that sounded better than we expected. And this amp makes a reluctant speaker sing.
