Sure, glad to. From the specs,"The amp uses a 12AT7 tube in SRPP configuration as the
driver. The SRPP is R-C coupled to the Valve Art 2A3 and the 2A3 operates in parallel feed output mode. The power supply uses ultrafast soft recovery
rectifiers and a C-R-C filter. Metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors are used in the signal path. Filaments are AC and a hum balance potentiometer
is employed on the 2A3. The parafeed coupling capacitor is a high quality Solen type."That's a general description. Does it answer your questions? The amp is undergoing a small redesign currently, and the price will have to be raised for other (business) reasons. The redesign is still in development, but it looks like the SRPP will be replaced with a current-source loaded triode (C4S) and there may be other changes as well. An upgrade kit is planned for purchasers of the original design.
