Adagio

High-power parallel single-ended triode monoblocks using either the KR 52BX (44 watts) or brand-new KR T-100 (60 watts)

Diavolo

Zero feedback design, high peak current delivery
Automatic biasing circuit
Dual-mono design on a single chassis
High quality mil-spec, multi-layered 2 oz. copper trace circuit boards
Employs a tube (CV-378/GZ-37) choke regulated power supply preceded by a pi filter
Capacitors are low ESR/ESL types for increased high frequency performance
Resistors are 1% metal oxide for low noise
Output transformers are a novel split core type not normally associated with single ended designs and custom-designed bu Art Audio to give a wider bandwidth than most generally available transformers
Tube sockets are ceramic with silver plated pins
Finished with polished (non magnetic) stainless steel chassis, gold plated transformer caps and nameplate
