I defy anyone to prove to me and back it up with measured results where a Szekeres Amp EVER goes out of classs A up to full clipping.That my freinds is what PURE CLASS A IS ! You can bias for class a up to a pre specified level and have an amp switch over to class A/B by design but that does not make the amp a Class A amp. Nothing to do with sound preference,just clarifying through all the smoke being blown around. Head-Fi is rapidly becoming an arena for dis-information and too much is let go |

Third, the circuit itself is our design and may look like another type, but the fact is that many tube electronics circuits look similar. |
The circuit itself runs in class A during normal operation. It can cross over into other classes when overdriven. |
Fifth, we will make available pictures of our products to those customers who are interesting in seeing them. There is nothing for us to hide... |
Finally, as to patent issues, our patent attorneys are in the process of handling our patent claims. This is all we can report at this time. |
