The
model "55" compact amp [mini-amp] also known as the mini "five five"
takes its name from the NOS Raytheon 5755 driver tube!
UNIQUE, CD & USB READY!
The
tec•on audio model "55" [the mini "five five"] is
a totally new, unique, compact stereo single-ended [SE] integrated
power amplifier conservatively rated at 2 x 4.5 watts per channel.
The model "55" operates in class A.
Zero
global and little local negative feedback (NFB) ensures the most
detailed reproduction of sound. Without global NFB to cover up distortionÊor
other imperfections, all components had to beÊcarefully chosenÊto
achieve the technical specifications. The Model "55" features an
innovative and unique 3 tubes design, with a Raytheon NOS 5755 double
triode to drive a pair of EL84 type pentodes for an unequaled imaging
and spaced reproduction. The current production model uses 6P14
output tubes, sometimes referred to as "EL84 on steroids"! They
deliver a rich, punchy but clear sound that will amaze you.
