Some Basics:
Every tube used in audio equipment—especially tube amplifiers—has to be set, or biased to the operating point where it can best perform what it’s called to do. Deviations from this operating point generally result in increased distortion and compromised performance. The voltage required to set the tube to this operating point is called "bias" or "bias voltage.” The resulting current through the tube is called "standing current" or sometimes "bias current".

The SuperTubeClock™

E-mail Print

This is where the magic happens... the SuperTubeClock™ replaces the solid state oscillator normally found in a CD player's digital clocking device with a mini triode vacuum tube. By using a tube, we have significantly lowered the amount of jitter and noise, resulting in superior detail retreival. This in turn yields superior detail and dynamics from top to bottom, and improved overrall musicality.
