Designer Note :
This is our favourite 6V6 push pull integrated design circuit - the only one that is so perfect in all aspects.
It combines both the good old sound of the infamous / historical (1937 by RCA) 6V6 tube that the audiophile crave for, and along with our revolutionized modern hi-def resolution, performance/ power, wide bandwidth (now you know why some amps has rolled off highs and blurry/soft bass - because they were using the old circuit from the ancient time that only has mid-range), ultra low noise and low distortion (very important figure - so it won’t induce distortion / clips when turning up the music or at a exciting music passage), and also the importance of durability and reliability. In short, you are literally buying the best sounding / quality 6V6 Integrated available.
All these cannot be in other modes / design of operations, only in pure Class A configuration, and running in Ultra Linear mode, again, which sounded refine / delicacy / silky like Push Pull Triode mode, but has the power / drive / handling of Push Pull Pentode mode.
It’s a amplifier you can play all day long. Rediscover all your albums and recordings now!
Each Sesto Element is hand crafted by us in house , from each hole drilling to finish. So it is not that expensive in today’s standard considered this is a boutique grade / one of a kind product.
