The Triodino is a famous design and kit that was distributed
for HiFi builds in Italy.
This version uses a circuitry with 6J5 single-ended drivers,
for maximum sound purity.
The triodino was completely rebuilt by me in 2025, improving
the HT power supply with a new design: a second inductor was inserted in the HT
power supply (double inductive Pi), new paper-in-oil, MKP, and electrolytic
capacitors, Audionote silver paper-in-oil interstage capacitors.
The transformers are the original megahertz ones, the output
transformers are the high-quality TU102, with a 3kΩ primary and 6Ω secondary
windings in 18 sections; a double-C core made of 0.1mm laminated tape.
Slavonian oak cabinet and clear-coated copper top plate.
Compared to the original version (the photos show how it was
before with the 3 red capacitors), the sound has improved significantly,
especially in terms of dynamics, depth, and control of the low range. It offers
a more precise and stable soundstage and greater overall transparency.
It comes with 2 2A3 RCA tubes and 2 6J5 ATES (RCA). I may have other tubes available.
It is shipped with a very protective double package.
