The HE-833 uses the venerable 833A transmitting triode,
first choice of broadcast engineers for audio and transmitter service
for many decades. The 833A was RCA's most powerful glass triode
in the old days, so it is an appropriate choice for our project to
raise the capabilities of directly heated single ended triode
amplifiers to a level where even the most demanding contemporary
loudspeakers pose no challenge. The HE-833 can easily
drive any load, with a sense of total control and delicacy that simply can not be obtained through conventional push-pull configurations or
paralleling multiple output tubes for higher output. Until the invention of our IITC circuit, there was no way to harness the power of the mighty 833A for Class A audio applications. The HE-833 uses a triode-wired KT88 driver stage which couples to the 833A through a low impedance transformer, providing ideal drive conditions to actualize the full sonic potential of the transmitting triode. A ultra-low noise, telecommunications-quality Western Electric 437A is used in the input stage for maximum dynamic range. And our direct-coupled, capacitor-free audio circuitry preserves the low-level resolution that makes single ended triode amplifiers such a music lover's favorite worldwide. We guarantee that the authoritative musical reproduction of the HE-833 will be a revelation regardless of what you are listening to now! It is no longer necessary to choose between musical refinement and high power-it is possible to have both with the HE-833. Like the other landmark WAVAC Audio Lab. amplifiers, the HE-833 is a statement of the possibilities of high-tech precision manufacturing. The chassis is CNC machined out of a 60mm block of aerospace-grade aluminum and detailed with a handsome shimmering champagne-tinted finish. Custom sockets with thickly gold plated contacts machined from phosphor bronze bar stock are fitted in Teflon supports then isolated from the chassis with an advanced elastomeric suspension. Our Transformers are the custom-built by the most renowned supplier in Japan under strict specifications. No shortcuts were taken anywhere in the design and construction of the HE-833 amplifier, conceived from the start as an all-out effort to build the finest and most powerful single triode amplifier even known. Enjoy the carefree satisfaction of living with the best. HE-833. |
