Hi Owen
Yes the Marantz T1`s were transformer coupled from Input to output, Input, Inter-stage, driver and output transformers all used.
The head engineer Mr Kosaku Ueno from Marantz was give a open book to build his ultimate amplifier as his reward for his services to Marantz over the years.
65 KG per mono block, not one to lift by yourself more than once!!!
Two 845`s are used as power rectifier on the output stage and two 845 for the output power, a 5U4G rectifing primary and driver stage, 50 watts class A triode maximum 75 watts.
Incredible sound 3D soundstage you could walk into even driving B&W 802 matrix 3 effortlessly.
This amplifier provides power what feels like 150 to 225 watts of a solid state design.
Great to dry out any condensation you might have in your room so you can tell your partner (WAF) you are actually multi tasking not just sitting down listening to music.
But seriously a incredible amplifier and still rated as the best amplifiers ever made by Ken Kessler.
Thanks
Jason.
