CES 2015

Kevin Deal was so proud of his new DiaLogue Premium HP power amplifier ($3899 stereo or monoblock) that he insisted on showing off its underside so that we can all appreciate the quality of the components and the fastidious wiring. Output power ranges from 42Wpc (triode stereo with EL34s) to 175Wpc (ultralinear mono with KT120s). He was also proud to emphasize that the adaptive autobias circuitry can handle any suitable tube (EL-34, KT88, KT120 or, even, KT150) optimally and, to prove its capability, he was happily playing one in which every tube pair was mismatched!
