Decware SE-84-B Brochure

DECWARE Zen Triode Amplifier

model SE84B

You can find extensive information on this
amplifier on our web site, including my origi­nal design log. Also there are several re­views posted there by actual SE84B owners
that will help you decide if this is for you or
not.

This amp is being compared side by side to
amplifiers costing 10 times as much.

SPECIFICATIONS

• 5 watts x 2 or 9 watts x 1

The fidelity of this amplifier can be a tremen­dous insult to high dollar tube amps. De­signed as a single ended triode operating in
pure class A1, the SE84B features two chan-

nels for stereo operation, or can be
bridged as a mono block.

It uses the magic sounding Svet­lana SV83 or the legendary
6Bq5/EL84 output tubes, one per
channel. The signal path has only
one capacitor, no hook-up wire, and
only around 12 solder points be­tween the input jack and output
jack. The sound of this little ampli­fier is sweet!

For people just starting out, a good pair of
interconnects and CD player are all that is
need to directly drive this amplifier through
it’s own variable input control.

We recommend speakers of 90dB or higher
based on feedback from our customers.

We also make this amplifier available in a kit
for experienced hobbyists who want the thrill
of building their own. And we now have pre­punched high quality chassis available to
make it an easier project.

This amplifier is overbuilt, with top quality
parts, silver/ceramic tube sockets, and
polypropelene power supply (rev B). The top
mounted speaker posts allow for proper
strain relief of higher end cables. The dual
bias switch gives the amplifier two distinct
different voices, and accommodates a wide
variety of alternate input tubes.

Each amplifier is backed with a 30 day
money back guarantee so that you can be
SURE you like it. At the time of this printing
I have sold 118 units to people who will not
give them back under any condition.

Customer service is exemplary.
