Dual Mono Vacuum Tube Line Stage


Click here to see Plasma Dual Mono Line Stage photo gallery.

NAT standard model Plasma Dual Mono Line Stage moves to R-remote extension after seven years of producing. There are two high current 6N30P-DR tubes per channel build zero feedback line stage. This concept results in lower output impedance, to control all types of interconnect cables( for driving of power amplifier ).

Ten(10) tubes works in perfect simmetry means five(5) per each channel.

Power supply combine vacuum tube rectification and double regulated stabilization realized with stabilotron tubes (plasma effect) and the last generation of solid state. Plasma power supply has very low and constant output impedance through a very wide frequency response.

Sound quality is totally independent against power supply instability, because all stages in preamplifier contain stabilisation.

Plasma Dual Mono Line Stage has superior sound characteristics.
