Early
in 2000 the PSE (Parallel Single Ended) Woodham 300B was
introduced. Constructed as two mono single
ended triode amplifiers built into one heavy duty chassis.
Each amplifier has its own power supply and output transformer, using CR
Development's uniquely designed toroidal transformers.
Two legendary 300B output triode tubes are used in each amplifier, driven by a
6SN7 dual triode.
The 300B supplied with the amplifier is made by
Sovtek in Russia. However, both the Western Electric 300B and KR 300B
can be supplied to special order.
There is no doubt the Western Electric 300B offers amazing sound
quality, but other brands of tube are very close behind, each offering a
subtly different presentation.
The power output of the Woodham is about 14 watts of pure triode magic
for each channel. However, by paralleling the inputs and putting the
outputs in series, (a simple operation), the Woodham offers 24 watts in
mono. It is this flexibility that makes the Woodham 300B so unique. In
some ways the Woodham represents a break from CR 's traditions.
Added
features are RCA (single ended) and XLR (balanced) inputs selected
by a rear mounted switch.
Revised
styling for this Woodham product is a departure from the traditional
Woodham chassis which is finished is a smart
pearlesant paint with ventilated stainless cover panel .
