The TORPEDO III is something singularly unique in the world of audiophile headphone amplifiers. Based on the successful Torpedo planform, the TORPEDO III is a high-voltage, differential hybrid, ouput transformer-coupled headphone amplifer. We think it combines several traits that are totally unique in the world of headphone amplifiers:

• A completely differential, high-voltage tube/solid-state circuit from the tubes to the output transformers,
• a true, output-transformer-coupled design based on a parafeed configuration,
• a tube circuit based on perhaps the most prevalent tube family in the world: the 12A*7 miniature signal tube, and
• the design is completely contained within a single printed circuit board (for heightened construction safety).

The construction of the TORPEDO III starts with the printed circuit board (PCB). After populating the board with the specifically designed electronic parts, the TORPEDO III will provide excellent audiophile quality amplification for headphone listening enjoyment. With the optional Cinemag output transformers, the TORPEDO III is a truly world-class headphone amplifier.

DIYforums.org has more than enough information to help you complete the TORPEDO III. Besides these web pages, DIYforums and especially - Head-Fi.org - provide ample opportunity to search for answers or for asking direct questions. TomB from Beezar and Dsavitsk of ECP Audio will do their best to get your problem solved. In addition, there are many other builders that post and answer questions at: Head-Fi . We hope you enjoy building and listening to the TORPEDO III!
