AMP II Trident is a Pure Class A, Parallel Single Ended Amplifier. Similar to Electra, Trident is essentially a 2 gain stage Power Amplifier however with Parallel Single Ended 6V6GT power output stage coupled with a High Quality Pre-amplifier. Available in different versions: Special and the Classic version with different power output transformer options (Permalloy or SHiB and UHiB) and all Copper or Copper/Silver windings
