The STA-9 is a Class A+D stereo amplifier. In stereo mode, its power is 120 watts per channel, but it can also work in mono amplifier mode with a power of 290 watts. The amplifier circuit is borrowed from the IDA-8, which is based on a high-impedance class A pre-stage and a Class D power stage. Thanks to this, the novelty sounds "almost lamp-like", but at the same time it is clear and reliable. The 95 dB signal-to-noise ratio is achieved by JFET transistors simulating triodes.
