Description

Based on a platform of the Golden Night, the Golden Dream is a self cancelling Parallel single-ended design, utilising two 300B tubes in parallel configuration per mono-block to produce 20 Wpc into 4 & 8 ohm.
There are five different levels of refinement in the GD line, designated as Level 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. This amplifier is hand built and hard wired using solid silver 5 *9's in all of the audio path. Wherever possible the components are sourced from Europe and the USA and avoiding inferior Chinese components. This triode based mono-block amp uses no (zero) feedback in the design. The “Self-Canceling” topology aims at canceling out second order harmonic distortion inherent in tube amplifiers. The proprietary topology accords superior impedance matching to drive the output tubes slightly harder, yielding two additional watts from each 300B, and inducing transient and bottom-end response “very difficult to find in other amplifiers.”

Amplifier matching

The Golden Dream uses JJ300B's in Level 5 as standard but can also be supplied with a choice of 300B's on levels 7 and up. This amp will work with most speakers over 88db efficiency. Ideally matched with our range of Electron cables. The amps deliver 20 watts into 8 ohms This has both 4 and 8 ohm outputs.. 5 level upgrade options are available for this model, see upgrade options at end. To provide the fastest transient response possible, solid-state rectification is used, and the design and its implementation ensures phase coherent harmonic structure throughout the frequency spectrum.
