Using pure silver "wherever possible," this Gaku-On is the second-most expensive amplifier we saw anywhere. The stunner: it's cranking out just 45 watts. That's it. Wattage isn't everything.
"The Gaku-On circuit topology is as the Ankoru/II although the Gaku-On's circuitry is completely 99.99% pure silver wherever possible, even on the mains cables. The Gaku-On is 45 watt Class A, parallel single-ended, no feedback, mono triode power amplifier pair. All Audio Note™ silver wired circuit & power supply, Audio Note™ silver foil signal capacitors & tantalum resistors, Black Gate caps where ever possible, all Audio Note™ silver wired output transformer with 0.2 mm R36 C-cores, valve compliment: 2 x NOS VT4-C/211, 2 x NOS 5R4WGB, 1 x NOS VT25/10Y per monoblock." www.audioreview.com/cat/amplification/amplifiers/audio-no...
