Details
The Audio Note (UK) Quest are Pure Class A Singled Ended mono valve amplifiers that use a single 300B triode valve per channel, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the vast majority of current designs.
They have been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical specification, and fulfil all Audio Note (UK) Level 3 criteria: -
Pure Class A operation
Zero Negative Feedback
Single Ended Output Stage
Valve Rectification
Directly Heated Triode operation
Materials and component quality
The Silver version builds upon the already superb performance of the standard QUEST, and features the following component upgrades: -
Audio Note (UK)Tantalum film resistors
Audio Note (UK) Copper Foil signal capacitors
Audio Note (UK) IHiB Double C-core output transformers
The Silver Signature version builds upon the already superb performance of the standard QUEST, and features the following component upgrades: -
Audio Note (UK) Copper Foil signal capacitors
Audio Note (UK) Tantalum film resistors
