General Information
"The Timekeeper GT4 combines the best of high-voltage and high-current design for exceptional sound performance. Building on the innovation of the Timekeeper Voyager, the GT4 features an advanced power supply with higher voltage settings. When driving by this higher voltage, its British-made EXICON MOSFET power transistors deliver a sound that is rich, transparent, and dynamic.
The TK-GT4 also uses a high idling current to minimize distortion by keeping transistors in their optimal range. Despite increased heat and power demands, its Cool Case design eliminates bulky heat sinks, while the Fusion Core replaces noisy transformers, outputting pure Class-A within the first 30W".
Inside the High End Timekeeper monoblock we have a nice & clean design with six big
EXICON output transistors for each monoblock

Below are some thoughts coming from EXICON manufacturer about what makes these powerful transistors being one of the best choices in building High Fidelity Amplifiers:
"The Exicon range of lateral MOSFETS were specifically developed for high performance linear amplifier applications. They are capable of very high standards of amplification, with low distortion and very fast slew rates.
Completely free from secondary breakdown and thermal runaway they are extremely reliable.
In addition they have a number of characteristics which make them ideal for audio amplifiers, such as negative temperature coefficient for sharing current without the need for source or drain resistors, and simple drive requirements resulting in fewer components in the audio path".
