MiniTeddy Special Edition
A new level of refinement, details and SILENCE
 The MiniTeddy Special Edition, featuring the new Teddinator design, is based on years of experience, countless hours of development, testing, and listening .
Our new MiniTeddy Special Edition is a single-outlet power supply in a compact-sized, all-aluminum chassis. The Special Edition circuitry is based on the new Teddinator voltage regulator.
The Teddynator is a fully discrete design, based entirely on ultra low noise JFET transistors with no IC chips. It is a result of countless hours of development, testing and listening. Its design is inspired by the writings of great minds like Walt Jung and Nelson Pass.
With the new regulator and the new circuit around it, we were able to achieve impressive new levels of low noise, low output impedance and fast response time, resulting in a highly involving sound, perfectly timed and with no apparent phasing errors, hence our new slogan : The Art of Silence.
The MiniTeddy SE will start shipping in September 2024, and will be positioned as a cost option for all versions of our highly sucessful MiniTeddy.

MiniTeddy SE: Under the hood
The new Tedinator – Discrete Voltage Regulator
The MiniTeddy SE features the new Tedinator, a fully discrete voltage regulator, with no IC chips whatsoever, developed through countless hours of development, testing and listening.
The Tedinator is designed for accuracy and low noise, inspired by the writings of great minds such as Walt Jung and Nelson Pass.
Each Tedinator is calibrated and tested individually during the product assembly process.
The Tedinator is placed in a dedicated socket, and can be easily replaced in the future.
New Board Layout
Apart from the new Tedinator regulator board, the MiniTeddy SE received a new layout, with special attention to several critical features:
- Two-stage active noise-filtering.
- Low impedance ground connections (star-ground configuration).
- Low impedance output stage.
- Noise shielding in the sensitive regulator stage.
In addition, careful selection of quality components:
- Oversized transformer, with 50-90VA rating, depending on product.
- Main capacitots: Rubicon (Japan), total capacitance: 18,800uF.
- Electrolytic capacitors: Panasonic (Japan).
- Tantalum capacitors: Vishay (Israel).
- Film capacitors: Panasonic (Japan).
- All resistors are metal film 1%. Resistors in sensitive locations are 0.1%.
- All transistors in the regulator stage are JFET transistors from Toshiba (Japan).
Future Upgradeability
The Tedinator can be easily replaced by removing it from its socket, for two main reasons:
- Future upgrades to new versions.
- Change of output voltage (limited by the internal transformer).
