DescriptionThe Tempest IIs analogue stage is a full triode, pure Class-A design, and uses no overall negative feedback and neither transistors nor integrated circuits contaminate the signal path.Other circuit details included passive de-emphasis, the elimination of gain stages for a further reduction of noise-induced distortion, separate power supplies for the digital and analog sections, and a Class-A triode current-to-voltage converter.Naturally, the Tempest II features Wave shaping circuitry thus guaranteeing that the signal fed into the analogue stages is as coherent and accurate as possible.To ensure the reliability of the Tempest II as well as its performance only the finest components have been specified. Tubes are supplied by Gold Aero, connectors are by Tiffany and internal wiring consists of high quality linear-crystal cable.The combination of novel circuitry, attention to detail, parts specified to laboratory standards, as well as thorough subjective design input and assessment blend together to form the California Audio Labs Tempest II. It is the CD player of choice for music lovers the world over.SpecificationsDisc format: CDDigital converter: TDA1540, 16 bit, 4 x oversamplingCD Mechanism: CDM-2Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHzSignal to Noise Ratio: 105dBTotal harmonic distortion: 0.03%Dimensions: 19 x 5.5 x 12.25 incheswith a separate California Audio Labs Tempest Power SupplyWeight: 22lbsYear: 1988Perfect Working Condition.
