The S-30 is the unchallenged state-of-the-art in low power OTL vacuum tube amplifiers. With its simplicity of operation, small footprint, and all the features of their larger amps, the S-30 represents the high-water mark of OTL design. The S-30 utilizes patented hand-wired circuitry and is stable with any load. It performs and sounds better than any single-ended amplifier; a nice choice for a loudspeaker that does not need high power. Its fully-balanced design and proven class-A triode operation makes the S-30 the ideal choice for the discerning audiophile.
