  • Purist design with a fully differential balanced output system using high-speed, bipolar transistors packaged in TO3 metal housings.
  • Output and driver transistors cooled by elaborate passive heat sink system providing optimal thermal coupling while allowing short wiring paths for high current stages.
  • Delivery of instantaneous energy needed for demands of musical transients and dynamics provided by special high speed, fast recovery, slit-foil power supply storage capacitors (80,000 mfd total).
  • Unusual quasi-"C" core configuration transformer is entirely decoupled from the chassis and cradled within its own isolation enclosure to minimize mechanical noise and vibration.
  • Monococque chassis structural system designed to provide extremely rigid support and to dampen and dissipate vibrational energy. Combinations of high-strength metal alloys mated with other low-resonance materials of differing thickness create self-damping modular sub-assemblies.
  • Optional component support stand system allows almost unlimited options for installation of the Stratos as well as associated components.
  • High and Low Standby Modes switchable.
  • Available with either clear anodized or black anodized outer panels and matching polished or black-chromed face trim plates.
