Key issues that must be addressed in a high performance audio amplifier are:
1. Power supply design defines the performance limit of the amplifier, fully regulated power supplies provide the standard for fidelity. 2. True balanced operation improves the signal fidelity under load. 3. Balanced input insures that the large output/input power ratio does not corrupt the input signal fidelity 4. Low output stage impedance, especially at low frequencies, insures maximum control of the loudspeaker driver. 5. Comprehensive protection circuit that is outside the signal path is critical to protecting both the amplifier and loudspeaker. 6. A short, simple, signal path with a minimum of output devices leads to a better audio performance..
