The Audio Note (UK) Jinro is a Pure Class A, single-ended integrated valve amplifier using 211 directly heated triodes. It delivers approximately 20 watts per channel into 4- or 8-ohm loads and uses zero negative feedback, valve rectification, and copper-wound output transformers. Its valve complement comprises two 5R4WGB rectifiers, two 211 output valves, one ECC82/5814a, and one 7044. The Jinro is designed to prioritize musical expression, refinement, and drive rather than extensive technical specification.
