The Forte 1A is a very nice Nelson
Pass designed 50w ClassA SS amp. I
used to sell these in the late 80's /early 90's. If I remember right it worked well with passive preamps.
Leo, I'm sure Craig is the man to do this beauty justice. This piece is
important to me for reasons far beyond hifi. It was the in the console of my hysterically
funny Aunt Jean's home in New Haven
where I spent a great deal of my childhood in the 60s.
This amp powered many a serious party in that great house.
It will always have a special significance for all those great memories it
recalls.
