Shortest Way 51+ Amplifier

Shortest Way 51+ Amplifier

This is a Class A, Single-Ended Triode (SET), output transformer coupled amplifier with no capacitors in the minimal signal path. Special attention was paid to minimize the number of components used in the signal path. All transformers are specially produced by a custom shop for the SW51 amplifier and are wound around specially selected steel alloys. The circuit has no additional feedback.

In classic SBAF and Zampotech tradition, this amplifier is also available with a bronze cat on the front.

Includes 1 matched pair of 6Ж51P vacuum tubes (6Z51P or 6J51P in English) tubes. Does not include a standard IEC power cable - An inexpensive power cable is sold separately as most users already have a box full of these stored away somewhere.
