Fully Modular Preamplifiers

The new design uses double shielded low noise toroidal transformers in external supply connected via aviation grade circular connectors using silver over oxygen free copper. The power supply is dual mono with two transformers with lower radiated and mechanical noise. Noise is the most prominent part of THD+N at low levels, so by lowering noise we get better resolution and dynamics.

The gain circuitry continues to use our favorite transistors from Toshiba but has a larger, higher biased, output stage like the Xs Preamp, and includes auto bias.

In PassLabs we are constantly working on and listening to new circuits and components, increasing our knowledge and seeking better sound and enhanced product reliability. That time has come for the XP-32.

The new design uses uses double shielded low noise torroids in a true dual mono topology for the gain channels and another transformer, linear power supply dedicated to the control architecture.

This large, dual-chassis preamplifier is built in true dual-mono arrangement. Each channel has its own power supply board with over 100,000uf of capacitance for unfettered transient response. Noise levels have been dropped from the already low-noise XP30. Refined circuit design and layout, new gain-stages with auto-bias and DC compensation all combine for optimal performance. But it all comes down to sound; once you listen to the Xs preamplifier, there is no going back.

The CL-38uC uses SRPP (Shunt Regulated Push Pull) circuitry for all stages to achieve the highest sound quality possible. A genuine phono equalizer is included, the MC-low and MC-high impedance (gain) inputs each have independent MC transformers and are selectable using the MC impedance lever switch. Tone controls enable the listener to fine tune the sound quality. Refined exterior design and newly added balanced inputs make this vacuum tube control amp a new standard for its generation.

Successor to the classic C-1000 released in 1975, the CL-1000 pairs beautifully with the acclaimed MQ-300 vacuum tube stereo power amplifier. Both reflect LUXMAN’s singular expertise in vacuum tube audio. In the 1960s, when the audio industry moved en masse into transistor amplifiers, LUXMAN recognized the ineffable beauty of the tube music reproduction. And they’ve continued to build tube components without interruption.
While the CL-1000 salutes the past, it also embodies the best of today with a major step forward in sonic clarity: the transformer-assisted volume control we call LECUTA (Luxman Electronically Controlled Ultimate Transformer Attenuator). In addition, super permalloy core output transformers contribute to a vivid sound stage.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Accuphase\'s founding, the development of a new flagship model to incorporate the entire wealth of the company\'s experience was begun. Now, after five years, the work is complete. The C-3900 represents an uncompromising harmony of technology and sensibility, boasting ultimate performance and sound quality that ushers in a new era of the preamplifier.

The Dual Balanced AAVA design with two balanced AAVA circuits delivers sonic excellence that is transparence itself. Volume adjustment is realized while retaining all the vibrant energy and richness of detail that is the life breath of an artistic performance.

This preamp is inimitable with a unique character. With the Conquistador everything started with a blank sheet of paper. Developing and designing a new project you must think outside the box, and scrutinize everything. This is the way the Conquistador was created, and it is a highlight in design and engineering art.

Four AA45 Mesh-triodes of our own proprietary production, coupled with the unique quadruple VTC volume control, a special circuit design with four separate tube grid bias drivers, and the shortest thinkable signal path underline this absolutely exceptional concept in the world of preamps.

"State of the art"
The Spheris EVO - Linestage is designed to be the new reference standard in vacuum-tube linestage pre-amplification and for audiophiles who will accept nothing less than simply the best. It is a marvel of engineering with its unique C3m tube circuit design, a new revolutionary volume control system and construction. This preamplifier sets a new standard for natural musical performance with its extraordinarily wide bandwidth, extremely low distortion, colourful, superior dynamic range and an airy three-dimensional holographic soundstage.

For over 4 decades, Ayon Audio has been handcrafting world class vacuum tubes and vacuum tube audio equipment, setting the benchmark and new standards for high end audio performance. Altruistic reliability, product durability, Ayon Iconic design and superb resale value.

The revolutionary STR Preamplifier is a new type of audio component that gives you more control and more refinements, including more connection options and more advanced technology, in a single, easy-to-use component.

Designed, engineered, and Crafted in Canada, the STR Preamplifier combines the benefits of an advanced preamp with the power of a processor, as well as functions like leading-edge DAC, onboard Anthem Room Correction (ARC®®), customizable bass manager for mono or stereo sub outs, MM and MC phono inputs—far more than the average preamplifier.

And it includes new generations of many of Anthem’s award-winning, audiophile-loving, review-praised digital signal processing innovations, delivering a noticeably higher level of audio performance realism.

It’s a recurring story at Vitus Audio: After much cautious and painstaking consideration, we will make a critical change to one product which then has unforeseen implications, enabling us to make significant improvements to other items in our range.

The perfect pairing with either our MP-S201 or MP-M201 power amplifiers. All the true balanced discrete gain stages in the MP-L201 Mk.II are based on shielded modules and each module is moulded with special damping material, taking care of both mechanical resonances and stability in temperature.

sDP-1000EX is a high-end D/A converter and pre-amplifier. It is a device with many high-end features: a USB audio function which supports DSD playback, a high-performance clock circuit, a battery power supply, and a high performance preamplifier.

The Parasound JC2 BP stereo preamplifier is considered by many to be one of the best preamps on the planet and one that you don’t have to be a millionaire to afford.

The Halo P6 Preamplifier stays true to Parasound’s mission, to put great sound into stunning packages. That’s exactly what they’ve done with the P6. Taking over from its predecessor the P5, the P6 comes with a plethora of new features.

The Parasound NewClassic 200 Pre represents a brand new generation of affordable high-performance audio products from Parasound. It is slim and attractive, has almost every feature you can think of and, best of all, sounds neutral and transparent. It is the veritable jack-of-all-trades and master of, well, them all!

The Parasound Zpre3 is the analogue preamp you want when that’s all you want. It is a nicely presented all analogue preamplifier with no sight of a DAC anywhere about its person. It’s simple but clever, small but well featured and sounds pure and clear, like all Parasound preamps. And at the price, it’s very, very hard to beat.

What is it that makes the 1110 Stereo preamplifier so special? It is rare, an overachiever, a unique combination of reference-level performance and compact, convenient design. It is at once familiar in size and shape and yet completely new in aesthetic design detail. Perhaps what makes it so special is that it takes such amazing sight, sound, use, and feel and packs them all into a single chassis. It is the perfect mix of traditional function and cutting-edge technology, earning more than 10 international product awards from media worldwide.
