Model no: BUF-103

.

All tube buffer amplifier (with RCA-balanced converter)

This is a unity-gain buffer amplifier with a balanced output stage. It will convert any CD player or DAC into a balanced output tube DAC / CD player (RCA output also available) . With this buffer, the output impedance of any high impedance output will be converted into a lowered output impedance, greatly enhancingthe output driving capability .The signal will become more transparent, airy and dynamic for a much more natural sound.

Since this model uses large size tubes, the feeling of airiness and warmth is beyond description. With this model’s balanced output, you can enjoy the best dynamic performance of fully balanced amplification. This unit can also be added to the output of a conventional RCA output pre-amplifier, in order to convert your pre-amp into a truly balanced output device.

(Options: balanced input and balanced output versions for an additional cost of C$300 , solid oak add C$100, photo set below shows the BUF-103-BAL version, it serves the purpose of both converting RCA into balanced and converting a balanced signal into RCA, as well as fully balanced and full RCA operation) , above photo set shows a unit with additional inputs, (a small additional cost of C$80)
