It uses a new generation or our choke rectified shunt regulated power supply providing a noise-free operating point.<br \/>\nThe output stages power JFET cascodes form a bridge that when unbalanced by the input signal via the 2 transformer windings restores balance by adjusting their current conduction through the load. The 2 output stages actually enclose the load in their control loops and try to correct each-others errors reducing the distortion to insignificant amounts, leaving the &#8220;character&#8221; of the input stage untouched.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>To reduce the amount of heat generated the amplifier is biased so only the first few watts are in true class A. Music has a crest factor of 10 on average. This means that most of the time we listen with 1\/10th of the peak levels. For most users this translates to under 5W. Peaks can reach over 100watts during playback, but only for few milliseconds. For those peaks the amplifier switches to class B using only one leg of the output stage capable to deliver up to 250W\/8ohm and 350w\/4ohm (120W\/8Ohm and 170W\/4Ohm Stereo).<br \/>\nNot sharing a common reference point apart from the load itself makes the second leg correct for any error produced by the first one. The result is an amplifier capable of extreme power while delivering exquisite smoothness and low-level resolution.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The driver stage is isolated by the interstage transformer and is not influenced in any way by the output stage maintaining tone colour and resolution at all power levels and loads.<br \/>\nHaving the output stages floating around the load prompted for the use of a unique biasing technique powered by solar cells. This was the quietest galvanic isolated power we could come up with. Using opto-electrical conversion we control the bias by adjusting light intensity in the control circuit.<br \/>\nTeres is an example of modern technology solving age-old problems allowing us to go a step beyond.<br \/>\nThe physical appearance of Teres has the kind of understated elegance typical for Thrax. The exquisite aluminum finish adds to the presentation of a solid block of metal like a bigger brother of Heros.
