As Hifigeek notes, the circuit is almost identical to the D-115 but with 4 output tubes instead of 8. This is a really nice tube amp, along with the D-115 and for the price of purchase on the used market, if in the market for a tube amp, you can't do better at the price, at least I haven't heard it. With improved caps and careful selection of input/driver tubes these amps can really compete if lacking the ultimate detail, air and bass control of much more expensive tube amplifiers. The build quality is superb as ARC is noted for. You can't lose, the prices used on these amps are higher now than 15 years ago indicating their continued value.
