Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) JINRO Shochu Stereo
Power Amplifier.
It is a Pure Class A Singled Ended valve amplifier that uses the highly regarded 211
triode valve, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the vast
majority of current designs.
Sharing the circuit design found in the legendary ONGAKU Kensei and TOMEI
Kensei amplifiers, the JINRO Shochu use Copper for all transformer windings rather
than Silver or Silver / Copper to produce a performance that is both unique and
beguiling.
Level 3 components are used throughout, including Audio Note (UK)™ Copper Foil
Capacitors and in-house designed and manufactured Copper wired output
transformers.
It has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical
specification, and fulfills all Audio Note (UK) Level 3 criteria: -
Pure Class A operation
Zero Negative Feedback
Single Ended Output Stage
Valve Rectification
Directly Heated Triode operation
Materials and component quality
