Paradyne was created to challenge that assumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eParadyne was designed by the holy trinity of legendary audio gurus Paul Birkeland, Paul Joppa, and Dan Schmalle.

That means you're getting a cutting edge power transformer, our beefiest output transformer, and a new and improved plate choke. This new suite of iron provides performance gains over previous designs, and allows for switching output impedances by moving one ring terminal instead of re-wiring the secondary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurpose-Built Monoblocks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eEach Paradyne kit includes \u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ea pair of monoblocks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, because this amplifier was never meant to be compromised by a shared power supply or layout constraints.
