Description
 
Don't let the low price fool you, Tommy at JohnBue takes audio design, performance and quality very seriously. The TL66 has qualities hard to find in amps costing much, much more, including: all point to point wiring, output transformers hand wound by Mr Lee the inventor of the famed "LITZ" winding technique, and   internal parts employing an eclectic and synergistic mix of audiophile grade German, American and Japanese parts that offer unsurpassed sonic performance.

Each amp is hand assembled in Taiwan. Compared to equipment that comes supplied with standard current production Chinese or Russian tubes, the TL66 amplifier uses NOS OTK 6L6 (circa 1980s) for its power stage and NOS Sylvania 6AU6 driver tubes for the pre stage.

The TL66 accepts KT88 and/or 6550 tubes, maximizing flexibility for enthusiasts to roll tubes in the quest for audio nirvana. Internal components consist of: NOS "FRAKO" capacitors originally made in East Germany. The horizontal Champagne and Gold Coloured audiophile Frako and Roe caps are often seen utilised in Studer CDP. Frako and ROE capacitors are sonically alike, though Frako is less bright than ROE caps. Frako is renowned for its midbass punch and subtle airiness.

 Main Coupling caps are of the proprietary JohnBlue brand ( aqua blue cap) Volume pot is Japanese BlueShelled Alps. AC Power filter caps are Audiophile grade Hitachi (Basic) or BHC / Rifa supply for special order.

Other parts include: Carbon and Allan Bradley resistors, Pure Virgin and OCC copper wires for internal point to point wiring, Wonder Solder for all contact and lead points.

Tubes used are NOS OTK 6L6 and US made 6AU6 and 6L6 tubes are DIRECTLY interchangeable with:. KT88 6550 EL34 KT77
