About the Model 88 SE MKII
The Audiopax Model 88 SE MKII is a Brazilian-made single-ended pentode monoblock power amplifier designed to deliver 30 watts RMS per channel using KT88 tubes. It features a proprietary circuit evolution of a 1950s Super Ultra Linear design, with two proprietary output transformers per monoblock tied in series to produce zero feedback single-ended pentode power. The amplifier includes the unique Timbre Lock® feature, which allows precise tonal balance adjustment via top-mounted potentiometers surrounded by LED rings for visual bias current confirmation, enabling users to fine-tune the sonic character without tools or meters. The amplifier has a chrome chassis with black piano or Bordeaux side panels and optional transformer balanced input. It is praised for its musical engagement, soundstage, vocal purity, and frequency extension, making it suitable for audiophiles seeking both great sound and control.
