Nirvana Mono

About the Nirvana Mono

The Von Gaylord Audio Nirvana Mono Power Amplifier is a parallel-push-pull mono block amplifier utilizing four 6550 tubes to produce a powerful 130 watts per channel in triode mode. It features a high-efficiency triode design with a self-adjusting auto bias system, ensuring stable operation and extended tube life. The amplifier employs a newly redesigned massive output transformer that delivers higher current with improved low-frequency extension, body, and texture. Wiring is primarily point-to-point except for the driver section, which is too complex for hard wiring. The output tubes run conservatively, providing an expected tube lifespan of six to eight years and operate cool. The chassis is CNC machined from heavy-duty aluminum with top-quality components, and the output and power transformers are visible at the rear, flanked by 6SN7 driver tubes and matched pairs of 6550 output tubes. The amplifier includes four and eight ohm output taps and high-grade binding posts. It is designed for audiophiles seeking dynamics, warmth, transparency, liquidity, lifelike imaging, and musicality.
