An Aikido pre-amp / line-stage.

The Aikido tube topology, created by John Broskie, delivers the sonic goods. A line stage is needed either to boast a weak signal voltage sufficient to drive a power amplifier to full output, or to deliver current sufficient to drive a high capacitance load. The Aikido amplifier offers low distortion, low output impedance, feedback-free amplification.
