This SJS Arcadia Model 8 amplifier is our new single ended 300B stereo amplifier. It has been introduced to sonically and visually complement the Model 6 phono amplifier, Model 7 line stage pre-amplifier and Model 9 step up transformers.
The Model 8 is based on the same circuit design and layout as the Model 5, with NOS Sylvania 7N7 valves used as the input and driver stage, and 300B output valves. Internal components include carbon film resistors and Duelund pure copper foil coupling capacitors.
