Single-Ended Class A

← Back to document page

Single-Ended Class A amplifiers have certainly hit it big in the four yearssince we began testing the first Aleph 0. So is this just another audio fad,or is there something fundamental about this kind of design, justifying arevival of the old approaches to amplification? When I started designing amplifiers twenty-five years ago, solid stateamplifiers had just achieved a firm grasp on the market. Power andharmonic distortion numbers were the important thing, and the largestaudio magazine said that amplifiers with the same specs sounded have heard Triodes, Pentodes, Bipolar, VFET, Mosfet, TFET valves,IGBT, Hybrids, THD distortion, IM distortion, TIM distortion, phasedistortion, quantization, feedback, nested feedback, no feedback, feedforward, Stasis, har
