In the Thread: Two-stages, hybrid, small, powerful class “A”?

Post Subject: The Robert Koda’s Takumi K-70 hybridPosted by Romy the Cat on: 3/25/2011

Here is another interesting hybrid. The gain stage is made around 5842 tube, most likely with feedback and the current stage is SS reportedly single-ended and in class A. They claim 150W, if it is in Class A and without PP then frankly I do not see a lot of surface to dissipate the heat.

However, God knows what they did in there. It reported that it has 32 transistors by channel, sure they did try to built a lot of current, how long it will stay in class A is not know. Did anybody hear the thing?
