You can't get DC without at least one diode...

Since it appears that the amp is made in Hungary, I think we can give them a bit of leeway with their use of English.

By the way, here is a partial review.

However $10k does seem to be a bit excessive even though the casework looks beautiful.

Incidentally, take a look at their GU-81 amp with the yellow coverings for the B+ which presumably is well over 1000 volts. Definitely too scary for me to even contemplate building.

Another example of the GU-81 -

Somehow I don't think there will be a Bottlehead headphone amp using these tubes in the near future.
