The Basie+ pre-amplifier is (with permission) based on John Broskie's Aikido tube circuit. Much has been written by the DIY community. Suggested reading on the circuit concept and development here. Circuit performance and amazing distortion measurements here. Possible tube combinations here (note not all listed can be used in the Basie+ but most common 8/9pin can). Our implementation uses a tube rectifier and choke in the power supply. Standard tube compliment is a pair each of 6CG7 and 5687. Gain is about 10db ie 1v in for 10v out). It shows extremely low harmonic distortion and has excellent power supply noise rejection due to the unique noise cancelling topology. Output impedance is very low and it swings huge output voltage. This linstage loves to drive a load. Sample unit with typical tubes measured into 75k (output rms/pk-pk/distortion):1v/2.95v/0.064%; 2v/5.71v/0.074%; 10v/29v/0.29%; 30v/84v/1.575%; 40v/108v/4.5%!!! The Basie+ just keeps putting out.

Subjectively the sound is open, lively, turn-on-a-dime fast, transparent etc BUT...still captures the full tonal tapestry of music. Basie + Aikido has a heart of song - the more you listen, the more music you discover.

Difficulty rating Medium.
