• Balanced Differential Design®
• Class-A operation
• Patented Circlotronic® direct-coupled (OTL) output stage
• Automatic biasing system
• V-Cap copper foil Teflon coupling capacitors
• Built in VU meter for tube and output monitoring
• Easily monostrapped for greatly increased power
• Uses only one gain stage for supreme clarity of sound
• Proprietary precision components used throughout
• Low-noise "star" grounding topology
• Fully hand wired point to point
• Stable with all input and load conditions
• Exclusively uses Octal-Triode based vacuum tubes
• Classic open chassis construction with Wrinkletex™ finish
Recipient of The Absolute Sound's prestigious "Golden Ear Award" in 2000, the MA-1 enjoys an enviable reputation. Now the Mk. 3.3 series builds on proven technology. An improved output section and enhanced driver circuit contribute to superior low-level detail, smoother sound, wider bandwidth and AC power immunity. The rugged, non-magnetic chassis features classic looks with superior layout. Setup of the amplifier is simple with it's automatic biasing system. The controls and switches are ergonomic without sacrificing performance.
The MA-1 is extraordinary in every way. Not only is normal operation easy on the vacuum tubes, the effect of a tube failure on the unit is entirely inconsequential. Despite its extreme performance, the MA-1 is known for remarkable ease of setup, ease of operation, day-to-day consistency and of course extreme musicality.
