Nice! Tell us a little something about it.
The Arioso 300B is an integrated class A SET amplifier. The output tubes use stabilized DC current heater supply. A dedicated system separates the tube heating circuit from the stabilizer system. The entire amplifier circuit was built using the point-to-point method. The unique design and high grade components allowed us to achieve a very natural, incredibly detailed and musical sound, with well-controlled bass and a rich but not „emphasized" midrange.
Technical Specification
Output power: 2 x 8W
Frequency range: 15Hz – 32KHz +/- 3dB
Input sensitivity: 1V RMS
Input impedance: 100KOhm
THD: 0,3% @ 1KHz @ 1W and 2,5% @ 1KHz @ 8W
Input selector: 3 RCA inputs
Remote control: ON-OFF, input selector, volume, mute
Dimensions: 410x 330 x 210mm (incl. tubes)
Weight: 25kg
Designed, developed & made 100% in Poland
Box content
Beautifully hand-crafted Tube Amp
Electro Harmonix Gold 300B power tubes
CV181-TII PsVane 6SN7 driver tubes
NOS rectifier tube
AC cord

Wonder what the output impedance is and who did the OPTs for it?
I assume it's a zero added NFB design (?).
Also wonder what they used for the "NOS" HV rectifier -- looks like maybe a 5U4, but it's hard to tell how large it is, hidin' behind the 300Bs.

Rectifier is a russian 5C3S. Which is indeed analogous to a 5u4.
Output transformers (according to some digging I did) are from Leszek Ogonowski.
Based upon published specs for the amp, possibly these. 2500 ohm.

Most impressive.

Yeah, I got a robot vacuum as an early Christmas present. It spends more time trying to hump table legs like a randy turtle than vacuuming.
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -

You must have some pretty sexy table legs! My GF just bought me a Shark with the dump station. It does a fantastic job.Gustard X26 Pro DAC

Quick question. How come I can’t delete my post????See my profile for list of gear.

Because Vanilla.

That’s what I thought. Why on earth would the ability to delete your own post be removed? Am I censored from self censoring??See my profile for list of gear. -
Apparently yes. You can only edit posts for an hour, but you can never delete them or edit them after the initial hour. It's pretty stupid.

It's amazing what you are censored from on this forum nowadays. We went from the gun slingin' wild west to Oprah's rainbow filled wonderland of the woke seemingly overnight.
It's actually better as of late though, so I'll give them that. Still, some things still just leaves one scratching their head...

Thanks but I did not know there was a delay for night shots. That's why it's a bit fuzzy. I moved. It's like a 2 to 3 second exposure I guess for night. -

That's not a bad thing, IMO. It adds an aura of surreality to the photo, which is really what makes it for me. The reflections on the water are incredible.

Me too. I liked the reflections. I wish I had a real camera and knew how to use it. -
Blurry pic but....1938 Dymaxion

^^^ from the man who brought us the geodesic dome, R. Buckminster Fuller.
The one above might be (???) a 'recreation' of an original Dymaxion, but I am not at all sure about that. It looks a little too harmonius based on the images I've seen (e.g., the curved windscreen glass).
Another Dymaxion sighting that always amused me, as seen on the back cover of the first WB money-grubbing Grateful Dead "Best of" album, Skeletons from the Closet.
