Yellowstone Preamplifier

In the process of developing the Yosemite preamplifier, further experiments were done in several areas to see just how far the new platform could be stretched. Eventually it became clear that what had been created was not simply a set of premium options but a truly separate product with a somewhat different cost and use case. Enter the Yellowstone. While the Yosemite is the consummate purist’s choice, the Yellowstone verges on the excessive. New in-house power transformers were designed from the ground up, using Tectronix Analog Oscilloscope transformers as a model. Tectronix Analog Scopes are among the most highly executed pieces of audio equipment ever made, and their transformers contribute in large part to their special characteristics. These transformers are legendary amongst true tube aficionados for several reasons, namely that they function as built-in regulators, removing DC, maintaining very low voltage variability and achieving extremely quiet noise figures.
