The Doge 6210 is a very musical SET (Single Ended Triode) tube amp.
It uses two EL84 and two 12AX7 tubes.
A switch lets you chose between cross-fed and pure signals - the cross feed expands the tones and achieves a hall effect, but at the cost of poor imaging and muddy tones that bleed into each other instead of being separated in empty space. I hate cross feed but many love a blurred, liquid-toned soundstage that envelops you in the music.
The amp has two headphone jacks and an impedance switch for 60, 300,
and 600 ohms. There is a line output that allows the unit to be used as a preamp.
Point-to-point wiring is used throughout with top quality parts. Transformers
are hand-wound-manufactured by DOGE, as used in their amps, preamps and CD players.
Doge high-end components are re-labeled as Lua in Germany and command a premium price and enjoy a great reputation.
The Doge 6210 has a smooth sound with lovely timbre, a great soundstage with excellnt imaging. I now use two Philips-Heerlen/Holland EL84 with two Electro Harmonix 12AX7 tubes and am still experimenting with different combos.
Specifications:
Output Power: .5 watts / channel
THD: 1% or less @ .5 watts, 1kHz
0.2% or less @ 0.1 watt, 1 kHz
Output Impedance: 60, 300, 600 ohms selector
Input Impedance: 50K ohms
Input Sensitivity: 0.5v
Frequency Response: 20 to 20 kHz @ +/- 1db
In the USA Pacific Valve can supply you
http://www.pacificvalve.us/DOGE6210.html
and world wide you can order from
http://www.cattylink.com
Cattylink is cheaper and thoroughly tests their components before shipping them but Pacific Valve is in the USA with warranty back up.
This is a rugged and well made amp with top quality parts that will give years of trouble free service.
I would rate it on a par with the Jolida JD2A and Bada PH12. It has a more laid-back sound like the Jolida in contrast to the more up-front presentation of the Bada 12. Each amp has its own merits that depend on personal tastes. Any of the three should match well with much costlier amps. It is the tube selection that can make or break any high end amp.
