I was surprised how simple it was inside too. I guess I've never really looked inside an amp before, but I was expecting it to be a bit more complex.



It is a scary thing eh spiff?
All that cash for alot of air.

Your post is not as facetious as it might seem, for it's the finely generated successive waves of alternately compressed and rarified air, assaulting his ears just so, that spiffnme paid for.

Hi,

Big, fat, toroidal transformer. Very nice. Is it Class A or Class A/B? If it's pure Class A, it would run very hot and your electric bill would increase exponentially.

I once kept my take-out lunch warm on top of a giant Class A power amp we were doing listening tests on (with a buncha other amps) at the NRC in Ottawa many years ago.

The website states that it's Class A/AB.

I've often wondered what the heck the "class" system meant. If you've got the chance, I'd love a lesson in the amp class system.

BTW...the unit runs very cool. I leave it on most of the time, and it's hardly even warm to the touch at all.
