DESCRIPTION

The VAMP was designed to meet the needs of the dedicated audiophile who does not want the hassle of a large, all tube amplifier even though he/she understands that the best sonics are available from such a beast. The circuit for this revolutionary product is derived from our very successful LA-100 line amplifier and VZN OTL's.

The driver consists of the LA-100 gain and Mu Follower coupled to a bank of Hitachi high power MOS-FETs. The driver has one single-ended gain stage and the output MOS-FETs are arranged in a complementary single-ended topology. Thus, we have a truly single-ended hybrid amplifier capable of putting 100 watts into 8 ohms at very low distortion and superb transient characteristics.
