In Reply to: What is Your New Amplifier? posted by TonyB on April 13, 2004 at 07:48:04:
...is descended from the Amity, Raven and Aurora.The Amity is a 2-stage amp, all push-pull, which must be driven by a line stage.
The Raven is a push-pull line stage, with transformer input and output.
The Aurora, an integrated amp, is essentially a single-ended line stage grafted onto an Amity.
The new amplifier, Karna, is all push-pull. The first stage is essentially a Raven. The second stage (driver) uses 2A3's, and the output stage is like the Amity.
The Karna has had a number of working titles along the way (Aurora DHT, Concordance). It started out as an Aurora with a Raven-type line stage. The change to DHT drivers required power supply revisions, and eventually Lynn decided it was time to give the amplifier its own name, since it was really no longer an Aurora.
Karna, the amplifier, is named after Lynn's charming and brilliant wife. The amps are currently under construction. Living up to their namesake will be a tall order indeed!
