On the back of the amplifier, in front of the right- and left-channel speaker-wire binding posts, are little switches. They select between output transformer taps for either High (6–16 ohms) or Low (2–6 ohms) impedance loudspeakers. Decware's website claims the Zen can handle impedance dips down to 1 ohm. In the front are two more little.

Model MiniTorii
4 watts x 2

Jun 03, 2020 @Mullett Late to this thread. I have a little Decware Mini Torii Mk 2 which is a dual mono 6V6 SE self-biasing design that outputs a massive 4 watts! You can change the power tubes to 6L6 without any adjustment and use any variety/variant of 12AU/AT/AX7 as input tubes (and therefore change the power output as well).
Decware would obviously be your ﬁrst choice for getting the best quality tubes for your ampliﬁer. Page 11: Input Sensitivity O W N E R S M A N U A L HEAT The TORII JR. Has been designed like many Decware ampliﬁers with a non-ventilated chassis and a black steel plate to hold and distribute heat evenly throughout the ampliﬁer.

This amplifier was designed to be the ultimatedesktop amplifier having the same footprint as an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper.
We wanted to re-create the same experience on the desktop as we have in the listening room.. which is to say we want the same imaging and sound-stage performance with a seductive beauty found only with tubes.
To achieve this goal a desktop amplifier actually needs to be a listening-room amplifier and be able to be used in either place.

A major feature that makes this amplifier unique is the way it creates its own grain-free clean power with glow tubes. By using the glow tubes in series with the power supplies we get similar or better performance to using a $6000 power re-generator.
The end result is a serious listening room amplifier that has been miniaturized to fit on the desktop. A pretty impressive accomplishment considering it is a dual-mono single-ended design without compromises.

The audio circuit is a very minimalist dual-mono single-ended design featuring a volume control and input selector for two sources.
The amplifier's overall gain is high enough that during those times when you don't have a real DAC hooked up it can still sound good driven by something as weak as a laptop's headphone jack.
There is also an adjustable treble-cut with a bypass switch so that if you find yourself streaming compressed MP3 music while you're working, you can make it more tolerable by reducing the very top end where the results of jitter and compression are most apparent.
The dual-mono design gives the amplifier a separate power supply and even a separate power switch for each channel. Basically it's two monoblocks stuffed into a single chassis. Dual- mono enhances performance and makes troubleshooting tube problems fast and painless.

The Mini Torii is basically the most exotic tube amp you can squeeze into a package this small. Its sound and build quality consistently exceed everyone's expectations.. which are already quite high.

There are a few options available for this amplifier that can be selected from within the shopping cart.

Select Voltage: Choose the voltage for your country. The appropriate power cord will be selected for your location and included with the amp.
Base style: The standard base is dark walnut. Custom woods can be selected for an up-charge. Exotic woods would be anything not listed, like for example; Zebrawood. Just write the kind of wood you want in the comments section when you place your order.
Volume Control: You have a choice of smooth-action volume controls which allow for better adjustability or 20-position stepped attenuators which allow for better transparency.
Headphone Jack Type: A headphone jack can be added to this amplifier. It's located in the front and is available in 1/4 inch only. The headphone jack option works well with both planar and dynamic headphones.
Knobs:There are three controls on a Mini Torii.. a left and right volume and a treble-shunt. Below are the knob choices for these controls.

Signal Capacitors- Select from four types of coupling-caps shown below:

Coupling-capacitors aka Signal-caps shown left to right 1 ~ 4

1) Film Capacitor
Industry-standard audiophile-grade signal capacitors
2) Jupiter Cryo Beeswax - type I
Boutique high-resolution signal capacitors
3) Jupiter Cryo Beeswax type II
Boutique higher-resolution signal capacitors

4) VCap Copper Foil
Boutique higher-resolution, higher-gain signal capacitors

NOTE: Choices 3 & 4 make the unit non-refundable.

Everyone needs a good reference, so the stock tube complement that ships with this amplifier is carefully tested and voiced for the amplifier. Our factory tube complement is of the highest quality and ideal for those who wish to not worry about tubes and just enjoy the music.

TUBE ROLLING

(SKIP THIS SECTION IF YOU'RE NOT INTO VOICING YOUR AMP)

If you decide to change the way this amp sounds despite the fact that we ship it with hand-picked top-quality tubes that we like, that's OK.
You have the rather empowering opportunity to experience the unique and delicate signatures of a large variety of tubes. In fact it almost becomes an experience of listening to the tubes themselves.. not the amplifier.
To that effect..

All of these tubes shown below will work in a Mini Torii - each pair sounds a little different.
