line stage balanced input and output tubes pre-amplifier with 100 micro-step volume control + pure tube voltage regulator and rectifier + selectible direct / UTC transformer coupled output + Universal tube design + NOS power transformer + Low output impedance power drive

 

This is our top-most best sounding all vacuum tube pre-amplifier with RCA and XLR balanced inputs and outputs with sonic performance that can easily out-perform preamps in the market for almost any price range.
We employ the organic way of designing and manufacturing that has zero negative feedback, no circuit board for tube sections, hand-wired component to components and point to point, Lots of oil capacitors, NOS carbon composite resistors , and high grade ultra heavy-duty transformer and power filter capacitors. This unit is hand-built with no compromise in component quality, very carefully fine tuned for tonal balance, resolution, sound quality, air and soundstage for a pure effortless delivery. All the good sounding options have been integrated into this very special design which almost none of other manufacturers can come even close to.


The end result of our no compromise design and execution is articulation and punch in the bass section with exception of elasticity and tenderness, sweetness and liquidity in the midrange with syrup-like feeling but not sticky, super silkiness and openness in the high frequencies without boundary. 
Super high grade 100 micro steps laser trimmed resistor network remote volume control with +/- 1% linearity and accuracy.

The power supply section uses 5U4G + EF86 + 6AS7G + 0D3 to form an all tube regulation circuit, which can give a tight bass punch with very good subsonic extension. The energy reserved behind the dam of the regulator is super so the dynamics is superb as well.

Super low output impedance drive circuit included , easily drive over 10 power amplifiers without any audible degradation, and give out super good bass punch and tenderness at the same time.

Over 20 pcs of oil capacitors with countless NOS carbon resistors, along with the NOS western electric cloth wires, this unit can give you the most musical, high density , richly smooth and organic sound you will not be able to experience from other products.

3 different sizes of tubes as pre-amplification with individual level control knob, so that you can mix and match different proportions of sound from which tubes in the most flexible way.

A switch on the top panel to let you select between direct tube output or UTC transformer coupled output. The 4x UTC NOS output transformer forms a true balanced transformer coupled output with impedance lower than 10 ohm, which can even drive an headphone directly if wanted.
