The Peerless A100A, a PP 6B4 or 6A5 amplifier has some real technical attributes. First this amplifier includes a choke equipped passive EQ record compensation equalizer but pre-RIAA. Altec’s engineers preferred pentodes up front for preamp and first amp stage duty. In fact, their amplifier front end definitely inspired Dynaco and must also be recognized as showing up here after the British Leak and soon to be seen Mullard front ends. Altec’s pentode is direct coupled to a 6J5, R-C coupled to a split load phase inverter 6J5, to a push-pull 6SN7, to push-pull cathode follower 6SN7, direct coupled to the center tapped choke loaded output triodes. With low overall feedback Altec claimed 18W at less than 5% distortion. How, with the output transformer The Peerless S-240Q of course. This one-of-a-kind Peerless A-100-A 100A Mono Vacuum Triode Tube AMP (Altec) Amplifier has been in our audiophile collection for over 70 years. The Buy it Now price reflects its rarity.
