Display Model Sale - One OnlyIn-Store Sales OnlyA versatile full-function tube preamplifier

incorporating a state-of-the-art line control amplifier

and a ground-breaking phono stage in one case.

The preamplifier is entirely hard-wired and

much care has been taken in arranging each aspect of

the internal construction to ensure the highest reliability,

low noise performance and ease of service.

We believe our preamplifier offers the best possible

sound from both the line and

phono sections, making it a reference device.

The sound quality is of the utmost refinement

and will certainly measure up to the

expectations of even the most

critical and experienced

music enthusiast.


Our preamplifier offers two inputs for high-output sources

(such as CD or DVD players), one input for low-level

line sources, and three phono inputs for MC phono

cartridges. Each phono input allows for customized

cartridge loading by means of resistors soldered to

tags adjacent to the phono jacks.

To maximize versatility, the preamp includes two

(paralleled) main outputs and a monitor output for

the chosen source (but no monitor-switch).

Importantly, the output resistance of the main outputs

is low enough to drive long interconnect cables

and input impedances as low as 10,000 ohms

(solid-state amplifiers of an active subwoofer)

without compromising sound quality.


The phono section within the “Super” employs one PCC88

and two 12SN7GT tubes. Thanks to an outstanding circuit topology, amplification of the moving coil signal is purely

active (no built-in step-up transformers). And nonetheless,

we have achieved an extraordinary signal-to-noise ratio

(despite the built-in power transformer).

In addition, we have designed the circuit to maintain

extremely accurate RIAA equalization independently of

tube parameter tolerances and tube ageing.

Note that the integrated preamplifier is also available

in a modified version employing a low-gain phono

circuit suitable for moving magnet/iron cartridges,

though it is not possible to “mix” MC and MM inputs!

To add moving coil compatibility, we offer our own

(standalone) step-up transformer with three

inputs and selectable cartridge loading.
