I have for sale one Audio Aero Captitole Transtrac Amplifier. It is in very good condition and will be shipped with original packaging. Here is a brief description from a 2002 Soundstage equipment review.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
With the 40Wpc TransTRAC, Audio Aero has found a way to make tubes and transistors work together. Not, as you might expect, with each technology handling one stage. Instead, the designers of the TransTRAC have found a way to run the tubes and the transistors in parallel, both sharing the task of driving the output stage. This, according to Audio Aero, provides the best of both worlds. The E34L tubes are run in triode, which gains sweetness and immediacy, while the DMOS-FET transistors aid in delivery of current. As near as I can ascertain from the rather sketchy accompanying literature, it’s not a case of running the triodes up to their power limit (around 24 watts) and having the transistors kick in above that mark. Rather, the transistors are constantly in the circuit and share the load equally. When overdriven, however, the tubes give out before the transistors, which supposedly helps to keep the sound clean even when the amplifier is pushed to its limit.
