If you look in the Anzac catalog at the AM-123 amplifier, it cites a patent
(long since expired) that protects it. I have read the patent and it goes
into so much detail it is practically a contruction article. The amplifier
uses a 2N5109 with input and output transformers providing noiseless feedback.
The AM-123 has excellent distortion and noise characteristics.
