TA-N88B Class D ! Huge power in small boxes, at last ! Long awaited and shown here and there throughout 1976, this amp had it all: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), PLPS (Pulse Locked Power Supply, 20kHz chopping rate) and 4 pairs of complementary V-FET ! Perhaps a little bold for many of the TA-N88s still around are... dead - the slim-line box probably was too slim to hold all of these slick circuits. The underlying technology inside the N88, however, showed the path we now use daily - d i g i t a l ! TA-N88
= silver ; TA-N88B = grey ; Japan only saw the original silver version
and a truly black version is supposed to have existed. Do read the ZN technical review to understand why so many TA-N88s fried all too quickly - a fate which had nothing to do with the V-FETs. |
