Ламповый усилитель Vincent T.A.C.- 34 Dream

The German company Vincent and its division TAC (Tube Amp Company) have released an integrated tube amplifier TAC 34 Dream. And, apparently, they gave him the name "dream" for a reason. One can really dream of such a device. You want to admire the design, jokingly called by the people a bread box, without turning on the soundtrack. The massive metal chassis is divided into two parts: at the back, a reliable casing rises on it, covering the transformers and the inductor, and a little more than the front half is covered with a mirror chrome plate, on which, in fact, radio tubes of selected quality are mounted. From above and from the sides, these fragile devices are protected by a reliable metal grate of a semicircular shape (by the way, it can be removed if, for example, you need to replace the lamps or remove dust from them).

On the facade there is a power switch and two round knobs located on the right, in a rectangular recess with a chrome-plated surface - a logarithmic volume control and an input selector. At the back there are four RCA input stereo pairs and two triplets of screw terminals for connecting acoustics with a resistance of 4 or 8 ohms. The amplifier circuit is push-pull, on four EL34 pentodes. The preliminary stage in both channels is served by four double 6N3 triodes - they monitor the anti-phase voltage, which affects the power of the final stage. The highlight of the lamp economy is two power indicators (6E2 "Magic Eye"), on whose flasks vertically applied phosphor strips that pulsate in a greenish-milky color, evoking a feeling of nostalgia for bygone years.
