Model : MD-811
A Class Single Ended
15W+15W Power Amplifier
|
The MD-811 Music Dandy features the classic RCA-designed
811A triode transmitting tube, a standard in radio communications
applications since the early 1940s. The 811A features a 25 watt
thoriated-tungsten filament with tremendous reserve emission
capability and a large anode for efficient heat dissipation. It is
noteworthy that the reliable 811A is still being specified for the
latest design radio equipment in 1997, after over a half-century
career of dependable service.
Like other WAVAC Audio Lab. amplifiers, the Music Dandy employs
the revolitionary IITC (Inverted Inter stage Transformer Coupling)
topology. The IITC circuit Permits music lovers to use outstanding
transmitting tubes like the 811A that will not work in familiar
old-fashioned Class A circuits. Our amplifiers unite the pure sound
of single-ended directly heated triodes with the visual beauty,
bulletproof reliability, superior build quality, and respectable power
output of industrial-grade transmitting tubes.
A particular advantage of the 811A tube is easy availability and low
replacement cost. The 811 triode is still in current production
because the tube continues to be used widely used in RF applications.
The low impedance IITC driver stage used a triode wired 6Y6, another
readily available power tube, for excellent linearity and power
transfer to the grid of the 811.
The high-efficiency IITC circuit provides a healthy power output of
15 watts per channel under extremely conservative operating
condition for long, dependable service. Extremely low noise circuitry
without capacitors in the signal path preserves the dynamic
articulation of low level signals that make single ended triode
amplifiers the first choice for music enthusiasts. The low output
impedance of the amplifier ensures maximum compatibility with
contemporary 4 and 8 ohm loudspeakers.
Although WAVAC Audio Lab. employ classic vacuum tubes that inspire
feelings of nostalgia. Among students of engineering history, our
attitude is strictly modern in every way. We selected the timeless
masterpieces of vacuum tube design to create amplifiers for today's cultural lifestyle. The fresh visual appeal of the Music Dandy
complements the realistic beautiful sound it will bring to your
listening room. Typical WAVAC Audio Lab. attention to detail is evident in fine
finish and quality of materials used throughout. The MD-811 is
designed to be a solid investment in long-term listening satisfaction.
