L3B TECHNICAL FEATURES
- Circuit Design is Pure Class-A, Single-Ended Triode, Zero Feedback, Dual-Mono.
- Audio Circuit has no Cathode Followers or Buffers.
- To prevent unwanted AC-induced distortions, the L3 features an External Power Supply housing three separate supplies and a large-shielded, custom-wound transformer.
- In the main chassis, four-separate, fully-regulated FET power supplies drive the audio circuitry in addition to separate filament supplies.
- Automatic-timed muting with Tri-Color LED indicator.
- Low-light Illumination for Selector Switch and Master Volume Control Knobs.
- Standby Mode avoids cold starts and prolongs tube life and circuit components.
- Active Tape Output and External S/S Output Buffers are FET regulated, set for unity-gain.
- All circuit boards are hand-soldered using the finest silver solder available. All polypropylene and polystyrene film capacitors used are proprietary designs of Audible Illusions. Resistors are precision 1% Holco and Roederstein.
- Proprietary gold-plated RCA Jacks with Teflon insulators.
- Master stereo volume is laser-trimmed Alps. Balance Controls are Precision Stepped Attenuators.
- Handcrafted in the USA.
