The E-Glo I is 100% tube electronics that combines cutting-edge, sound-friendly technologies with techniques so appreciated by the most traditional audiophiles such as point-to-point connections via cables. Thus, the new EAT incorporates a type of volume control based on relay attenuators with independent blocks for each channel, which until now could only be found in much more expensive products.
Another key element, the transformer used in the output section of each channel, has also been especially cared for in the E-Glo I. Thus, the core of this critical component is made of Permalloy, an alloy of iron (20%) and nickel (80%), with a high initial permeability that ensures superior inductivity even in low-level signals, thus behaves in terms of bass realism at low volume levels. At the same time, it allows the use of a lower number of windings, resulting in a lower impedance and a higher damping factor, thus expanding the range of compatible speakers. Of the E-Glo I, it should be noted that it uses a new circuit topology in pure Class A and KT-88 power tubes that also allows the user to instantly switch between ultralinear and triode operating modes.
