Audio Note Quest
The Audio Note (UK) QUEST are Pure Class A Single Ended mono valve amplifiers that use a single 300B triode valve per channel, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the vast majority of current designs.
They have been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical specification, and fulfil all Audio Note (UK) Level 3 criteria: –
The Silver version builds upon the already superb performance of the standard QUEST, and features the following component upgrades: –
Audio Note (UK) Copper Foil signal capacitors
Audio Note (UK) IHiB Double C-core output transformers
The Silver Signature version builds upon the already superb performance of the standard QUEST, and features the following component upgrades: –
Audio Note (UK) Copper Foil signal capacitors
Audio Note (UK) SHiB Double C-core output transformers
