Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) TOMEI Kensei Stereo
Power Amplifier.
It is a Pure Class A Singled Ended valve amplifier that uses the highly regarded 211
triode valve, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the vast
majority of current designs.
Sharing the circuit design found in the legendary ONGAKU Kensei and JINRO
Shochu amplifiers, the TOMEI Kensei bridges the gap between them. Featuring a
combination of copper primary and silver secondary windings for the transformers, its
performance is both unique and beguiling.
Level 4 components are used throughout, including Audio Note (UK)™ Tantalum
resistors and Foil Capacitors and in-house designed and manufactured copper/silver
wired output transformers.
It has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical
specification, and fulfills all Audio Note (UK) Level 4 criteria: -
Pure Class A operation
Zero Negative Feedback
Single Ended Output Stage
Valve Rectification
Directly Heated Triode operation
