CARY "Rocket 88" CAD-808 R F1
Stereo Tube Power Amp
Push-Pull
Triode Class A and Ultra-Linear Class A/B
Description
From the Owners Manaual:
"For the technically minded, a review of
the circuit is in order. Your new Rocket 88 R operates in push pull
triode Class A mode and in class A/B ultra-linear mode. The output
stage KT-88 tubes are biased with a negative fixed bias voltage for low
distortion and maximum output capabilities. In the triode mode, the
Rocket 88 R is the most linear and yields the most musically satisfying
presentation. The output power is 30 watts of triode power per channel
and 60 watts per channel in ultra-linear mode.
The output transformers on the Rocket 88 R are the most important
component in the amplifier. They have been specifically designed by
Cary Audio for use in the Rocket 88 R. We have taken the approach in
the output transformer design not too dissimilar to the single-ended
amplifiers we design and produce. The primary and secondary windings on
portions of the output transformer are wound in a bifilar process with
the two inductors interleaving sixteen times. The bifilar wind (two
conductors wound at the same time) will yield the closest balance and
coupling of any design currently utilized in vacuum tube output
transformers. The E/I laminates used are silicone impregnated hipersil
steel contributing to the extremely low loss of the Rocket 88 R output
transformer."
