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 tecon 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.
