SOUGA

A stereo amplifier which deliver the best of 2A3.

Features

  • Newly developed driver circuit unleashed the full potential of 2A3 which had never been achieved.
  • High quality handcrafting with module style amplifier sections. Kondo original parts and silver wires are adopted.
  • Parallel single ended circuit to get the best of both sound quality and useful power.
  • Full copper chassis is used to realize lively and open sound.

Original parts

 

Silver Output Transformers

In order to realize the best performance of output transformer, it is designed to a high impedance of 12kΩ with multi-layer, multi-compartment structure. Winding are all done by skillful technician hands using pure silver wires. It is one of the most important procedure to keep the graceful and dignity sound of 211. We also applied special insulating materials in considering its high voltage operation.

Power Cable

Silver Capacitors

Silver capacitor which use pure silver foil as electrode. It is specially designed to prevent the potential oscillation with the foil, which can easily generate muddy sound when lignal surge from low to high level. All silver foil capacitors are Audio Note hand made.

Original Silver wire “SSW”

All conductor materials are pure silver. In order to supress the unwanted vibrations, natural silk is used and twisted around the silver conductor. It works as an insulating layer between the silver wires and the exterior PVC jacket.
