You will find that it is capable of excellent sound performance when partnered with other high
quality components. The POWERTEK is made with top quality components and is thoroughly
tested before it leaves our factory.
The POWERTEK is ideally suited for use with the Linn PRETEK or other high quality preamplifiers.

effective method of improving system performance through passive bi-amplification.
