It all began at last year's HI-FI show, at the bar of course -J. Gordon Holt with his traditional martini, and EveAnna Manley with her stimulant of choice, a cup of coffee. She was describing this new integrated amplifier she wanted to build and drew a one of those legendary "bar napkin drawings". Gordon remarked "It looks like a stingray" (the fish, not the car) - and so, in honor of Gordon, we call this little jobbie "The Stingray".

The Power Amps are from David's 50 watt Monoblocks with newly developed transformers from Michael and Hutch (for exceptionally clean highs and more power in the lows). The passive PreAmp came from EveAnna and her talent of finding just the right parts. The Input stage was developed by Paul to further extend the HF response. Balta did all the circuit board and metal work drawings and assembled the prototypes - no small feat. Speaking of small feet, Miguel machines each foot and knob in-house. Marcelino oversees the entire assembly process and designed one of the PCBs. Paul strenously tested every prototype and Hutch, as usual, just listened.

You can blame this silly manual on Hutch
