"The Renaissance Seventy/Seventy is a completely unique power amplifier. It allies purist amplifying devices
with the power and solidity required to control modern audiophile loudspeakers.
The most noticeable feature of this amplifier is the 300B filamentary triode output tube. Originally designed
by Western Electric in 1935 (Footnote 1), it has several extremely desirable features that have kept it in
continuous production since that time. An examination of its dynamic curves (Figure 1) reveals it to be a
naturally linear device, more so than triode connected pentodes or beam power tubes (ex: KT88, EL34), let
alone any transistor device. It gives this superb performance with voltages on the order of 450 VDC, not the
1000-1500 VDC required by other output triodes like the 211 or 845. This lower voltage and lower output
impedance allows superior output transformer design, control of the loudspeaker, and safety.
The Renaissance Seventy/Seventy is designed not to the latest fad but to substance, for the highest possible
sound quality." - V.A.C.
