The SE-300B MKII is the natural evolution of the SE-300B, sharing a line preamplifier and power amplifier. It is a single-ended integrated amplifier, pure class A, which includes both high signal and MM/MC phono inputs.

The equipment is manufactured by hand on a robust steel chassis that provides the necessary rigidity, while both the distribution of components, quality of details and finishes, give this amplifier a spectacular aesthetic.

The SE-300B MKII builds on a very high-end MM/MC phono preamp, with precise impedance matching and high gain. It continues with an impeccable line pre-amp -ZeroNoise-, which does not generate the slightest noise or hum. In the power stage, it incorporates 300B valves and BIAS auto-adjustment, which allows the valves’ working point to be optimal. While the output transformers, the result of years of experience, and manufactured with the highest quality magnetic sheet and grain oriented close an optimal electronic design. The result is an amplifier with exceptional musicality, warm, harmonious and realistic.
