    Gain> pressing ‘gain’ allows the gain of the currently selected input to be varied over a range of +/-10db. This is ideal for boosting the level of quiet sources such as mp3 players and tuners, to better match that of cd players etc. When you have finished adjusting the gain, press the button again ...

    Technical discussion topology starting with the pre-amp and control stage, input selection is performed by gold-over-silver contact relays under control of a microprocessor. The audio is then buffered by audiophile quality op275 amplifiers in order to present the burr brown precision attenuators wit...

    Contrary to another common misconception, ‘timing’ cannot be compromised. The square wave performance of an amplifier is the ultimate timing test. A look at the square wave performance of a tucana ii is testament to the time domain performance of the design. If multiple devices did cause errors in t...
