The THÖRESS EHT Integrated Amplifier embodies the acoustic truth by merging vacuum tube warmth with solid-state precision. Its innovative EHT topology provides a unique audio experience, bridging the gap between high power and low distortion.The THÖRESS EHT Integrated Amplifier employs a minimalist single-ended, zero-feedback hybrid topology, combining a vacuum tube gain stage and a MOSFET output stage. This design allows for significant reduction in driver voltage swing needed for output power, resulting in lower non-linear distortion commonly associated with traditional tube amplifiers. By omitting the power tube-driven output transformer and its associated high step-down ratio, the amplifier achieves higher output power while maintaining sound quality, exploiting the inherent characteristics of both vacuum tube and solid-state components. The low output resistance and high damping factor enhance speaker drive capability, making it suitable for even challenging loads, while meticulous hand construction ensures reliability and minimal noise interference.Key Features Hybrid Triode Design: Utilizes triodes for gain and MOSFETs for output, optimizing synergy between tube warmth and solid-state clarity. High Output Power: Delivers 2x20 watts into a 6 ohm load, effectively driving low-efficiency loudspeakers without distortion. Low Output Resistance: Provides a high damping factor, allowing for excellent control over the speaker response. Precision Volume Control: Features a motor-driven dual-potentiometer for fine adjustment, ensuring consistent channel balance within a 0.3dB tolerance. Meticulous Construction: Hand-built using point-to-point wiring techniques to ensure thermal stability and long-term reliability. Technical Specifications Output Power: 2x20 Watts Load Impedance: 6 Ohms Amplifier Topology: Single-Ended Hybrid Triode with MOSFET output Gain Stage Tubes: 6J5GT, 12J5GT, or 7A4 Power Stage: Class-A, high idle current Channel Balance Tolerance: 0.3 dB Construction Method: Point-to-point wiring Remote Control Type: Motor-driven dual-potentiometer
