Power Amplifiers by YAMAMOTO SOUND CRAFT Yamamoto Sound Craft's current line of single-ended amplifiers are designed around directly-heated triodes for the ultimate in sonic purity and musicality. These amplifiers are exceptionally quiet (due in part to DC heating of the driver and output tubes), and their amazing speed, transparency, and tonal richness belie their "real world" pricing. And all of Yamamoto's SET amplifiers sport a number of features that make them even more incredible values. To name a few: Each amplifier is 100% hand-crafted with point-to-point wiring. Custom transformers with Teflon-insulated windings are used for peak performance at the frequency extremes. Premium parts are used throughout, including Dale resistors and Yamamoto's own highly-regarded Teflon tube sockets. Auto-bias circuitry ensures hassle-free operation. The chassis is sculpted from resin-infused Japanese cherry, a beautiful material that is akin to Bakelite in terms of its electrical insulation properties. Solid African ebony support columns are used for resonance control. The stock power cord is a custom cable with a hospital-grade plug. All in all, these rank among the best SET amplifiers available at any price.
