Great. Do download the Fusion Manual and read that too, it has more detail on the whole range of implementations.

To be honest, I have major issues telling if it is in or not, the 300B Fusion Amp, which is so far our only application, unless I turn up the volume past what the 300B Amp handles on it's own.

I think it is the little extra circuit trick described in the whitepaper on page 3 that makes all the difference to conventional buffers, as I have heard a few of these.

I am thinking making the next complete Fusion Amp a Monoblock that can can use either 2A3 or 45 with a DC coupled frontend and permanent Fusion plus 8/16 Ohm outputs.

Or maybe a 45/2A3 Amp with the full bore 160W/8Ohm & 260W/4Ohm Quad Pack of outputs? I think a 260W 45 Amp would be quite a fun thing to have.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
