Like the entire range of Kora amplifiers, the TB140 is powered by the Square Tube® operational amplifier. Equipped with 4 triodes per channel, this innovative assembling gives all its qualities to the amplifier.
SquareTube® provides every amplification functions. Its output voltage is the one that will be applied to the speaker outputs. Audio power transistors, exceptionally linear, are the only ones to provide what technicians call “impedance matching”. The transistors will give the speakers the required current, without amplifying the signal. Their role is somewhat the same as the one generally assigned to the output transformer.
However, the SquareTube® / Transistors combination does not know the difficulties associated with the usual transformers:
> no phase shifts on low frequencies,
> no phase shifts on high frequencies,
> no bad coupling on low end,
> and above all: no current limitation!
The combination of SquareTube®’s high voltage capacity and the high current of the output transistors gives you an unmatched high definition power amplifier.
> The tubes give you softness, the transistors offer you unrestrained energy
> SquareTube® offers phase accuracy and will reveal an abundance of unsuspected details from your sources with natural dynamics.
> The amplifier is highly stable, even on complex loads.

PREAMPLIFIER
CD PLAYER
Like the entire Kora amplifier range, the TA 240 is powered by the Square Tube® operational amplifier. Equipped with 4 triodes per channel, this innovative circuitry provides very unique musical qualities to the amplifier.
The Square Tube® provides all functions of amplification and control of the audio signal. Its output voltage is that which will be applied to the speaker outputs. Complementary power transistors, audio and hyper-linear will give the current required by the speakers, but without interfering in the amplification of the signal. Technicians call it “Impedance matching”. The power transistors can be seen as the output transformer.
But the Square Tube® / Transistors combination does not face the limitation usually associated with the usual output transformers:
→ There are no phase shifts in the low frequencies,
→ There are no phase shifts in the high frequencies,
→ There is no bad coupling in the low frequencies and above all: no current limitation!
The combination of the high voltage capacitance of the Square Tube® and the high current of the output transistors gives you a very high definition power amplifier.
→ The tubes give the smoothness, the transistors give the unre- strained energy.
→ SquareTube® brings phase accuracy and will extract a wealth of unsuspected detail from your sources with natural dynamics. → At last but not least, the amplifier is very stable, even with complex loads.
