expect from single-ended triode amps.
...its sonic performance is intoxicating,

Sumer Review from B.A.S., 1974:
"I'd like to share my experience with a product,
Zerostat from Discwasher, that has done everything
I hoped it would do. The last place I lived apparently
was the South Carolina generating point for static
& made records almost impossible to play enjoyably.
Washing didn't work, Preeners & Dust Bugs didn't work,
& neither did swearing or abstinence. Zerostat did though,
to perfection! It was literally unbelievable, & fully justified
its price, at least to me. If you've got problems with static,
this thing ought to do the trick." —B.A.S. 1974.
