MV52 Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier

The MV52 considerably refined the circuit design of the MV50 which it superseded. In the MV52 two sections of the input tube were connected in parallel to reduce the source impedance of the voltage amplifier, eliminating the cathode follower of the MV50. Probably the most significant change introduced in the MV52 was the use of polypropylene capacitors for the main power supply filter and reservoir ­eliminating electrolytic capacitors from the main power supplies. This was the first power amplifier to offer an all polypropylene main power supply. All other circuit capacitors in the MV52 were “cjd” polystyrene.
