A pre amplifier or pre-amp is the very hub of a hi-fi system. All your source equipment connects to the pre amplifier. Most common is an active (powered) preamplifier design but there do exist some passive (non powered) designs. Using a separate pre and power amplifier brings about significant audio improvements over an integrated design as it minimises crosstalk and each component benefits from its own dedicated power supply.

Separate dual mono + control power supply
Dual mono, fully balanced preamp circuitry
Circuit boards suspended to guard against vibration
Line Stage Gain Module circuit for ideal positive/negative signal balance

Avid Reference Pre Amplifier
|
|
Little did Avid imagine the arduous path the development of this product would take them upon.
Without their perseverance to create a product without equal, any commercially minded organisation would have relented.
A tale for another time perhaps, but rest assured this is not a product for the sake of it, but establishes new meaning to the word "Reference".
They originally envisaged the Pre-Amplifier as an expansion of their Pulsare phonostage, simplistically adding line level inputs and a volume control.
Totally underestimating their journey of development, research and component evaluation, their appetite for improvement never dwindled.
Their goal was simply to create the World's best sounding Pre-Amplifier, sound quality overriding all other design parameters.

PS Audio BHK Pre Amplifier
|
|
Introducing one of the most remarkable musical instruments in the world, the BHK Signature Preamplifier. This exceptionally built vacuum tube preamplifier opens up the music and reveals nuances, life and space not previously heard on your system. It is the perfect interface between your sources and power amplifier. Designed by Bascom H. King, the BHK Signature distills Bascom’s 50 plus years of high-end audio design experience into a single masterpiece of audio amplification. “This is the best sounding preamplifier I have ever designed or heard,” and that’s saying a lot for a man of Bascom’s experience. Preamplifiers play a critical role in any separates audio system, strategically positioned between sources of music: CD players, phono preamps, DACs, tape recorders and tuners – and your power amplifier – the preamp serves essential roles of control and isolation. Control is simple in concept, but extraordinarily difficult to design in an acoustically transparent manner. Control duties such as input switching, volume, balance, and amplification can place unwanted acoustic thumbprints on the music if not designed with extraordinary care. The challenge in any design is to do as little damage to music’s purity as possible.
