"In fact, the A308 preamplifier is built like an integrated amplifier, but with a low-power output stage. This circuit topology allows the A308 to swing 35V at its line-level outputs. The audio circuitry is all discrete, with an input stage that provides all the gain before the volume control. Because the input stage is supplied from the choke-regulated power supply and its higher-than-normal power-supply voltages, it is unlikely to be overloaded. The input stage is followed by the volume control, and then by a high-current unity-gain buffer to drive the interconnects and an external power amplifier." Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound
