The Conrad-Johnson ART108A is a high-power, Class A triode monoblock vacuum-tube power amplifier. It uses eight KT88 output tubes configured as triodes, supported by three 6922 driver/input tubes, and delivers 160 watts RMS into a 4-ohm load. The design includes separately regulated power supplies for the input, inverter, and output stages, a proprietary Translinear output transformer, phase-correct operation, and a chassis intended for one amplifier per channel. It can be factory-configured for 8- or 16-ohm loads. The manufacturer’s product page and current product listings indicate that the ART108A remains an active Conrad-Johnson model rather than a discontinued product.
