About the Linear A

The Tom Evans Audio Design Linear A is a high-end, hybrid stereo power amplifier that combines solid-state and tube technologies. It operates in Class A, delivering 25.2 watts per channel, and is designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional clarity and musicality. The amplifier uses four EL84 pentode tubes per channel, configured in parallel to emulate the characteristics of the legendary Japanese No.10 tube, achieving triode-like linearity without the usual limitations. The Linear A features a unique user-adjustable feedback control, allowing listeners to tailor the sound to their preference. The latest MkIII version includes enhanced power supplies, improved output transformers, and a sophisticated 'Mastergroove' phono stage-style input IC stage, eliminating the need for global feedback to achieve its measured performance. The amplifier is recommended for use with high-sensitivity speakers (87dB/W/m or above) and a minimum impedance of 5 ohms.
