The circuit design of the device includes several cascades, which use radio tubes from the Slovak manufacturer JJ: four double ECC83 triodes, two double ECC82 triodes and an EZ81 tube rectifier. The phono corrector uses four boost transformers (two per channel) equipped with super-permalloy cores to increase performance.
