Frequently Asked Questions

The discrete V100 output stages and robust power supply contribute to a remarkably low noise floor, generally outperforming many other transistor amps in this category.
The pre-gain switch primarily adjusts the input signal level, but subtle shifts in perceived dynamics are possible depending on the source material and headphones used.
While relays do introduce a delay, Lake People's implementation is designed for longevity; however, frequent power cycling *could* potentially shorten their lifespan, though this is unlikely in normal use.
