{"title":"Pre Amplifiers","description":"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.

Classics such as the 500-series power amplifiers, the 802 preamp, and more recently the V20 integrated amp and the 800-series 'Enhanced Triode Mode' models are among the most prestigious hi-fi products ever made and have attracted praise and awards the world over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Although Tim de Paravicini has been designing transistor-based circuits since the days of the very first commercial transistors, he has never before produced a solid-state amplifier under his own flag. But now, after years of breaking with everyone else's traditions, he has broken with his own and produced the 312 Control Centre, a fully-featured preamp which redefines the world of solid-state just as EAR amplifiers have done for the world of valves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Taking into account the current growth in the number of sources in many hi-fi systems, the 312 offers no less than eight inputs, three of which are balanced and transformer-coupled. What's more, there are six outputs: three each balanced and unbalanced, and because they are also transformer-coupled it is perfectly possible to use both types simultaneously (for instance in multi-amped systems) without upsetting the balanced outputs. This means that six stereo power amplifiers can be driven at once.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n As you would expect from an EAR product, the phono input also features transformer coupling for moving coil cartridges, ensuring the lowest possible noise, and in order to ensure very high overload headroom and complete stability the RIAA equalization of the phono stage uses an inductor in a unique EAR circuit configuration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n The basic amplifying circuit uses just three transistors in a single-ended configuration, a 'valve-like' approach that harnesses the gain of the transistors in such a way as to give sound of unequalled sweetness and clarity. Complete compatibility with other equipment is achieved through the very high input and output headroom of all circuits, plus their low noise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Again drawing on de Paravicini's expertise in the field of transformers and inductors, the power supply uses a choke input filter to give very low noise and ripple, and very low dependency on the purity of the incoming electricity supply: it also generates very low levels of interference on the household supply without requiring any additional suppression components.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Simple and intuitive operation has always been a feature of EAR products, and to this end the 312 uses a very high quality and high accuracy volume control with a conventional single-turn range, in conjunction with a unique meter-like scale which clearly indicates circuit gain. Channel balance is maintained to close tolerances right down to whisper-quiet levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Finally, it should be hardly necessary to mention that like all EAR products the 312 is built to the highest standards and immaculately finished so that it looks as good as it sounds. It will set standards for a long time to come.","brand":"EAR\/Yoshino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57409426456908,"sku":"EARPARAVICINI312","price":15315.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/EAR-Paravicini-312.jpg?v=1777485449"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-pre-box-s2-analogue","title":"Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Analogue","description":"Pre Box S2 Analogue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe Pre Box S2 Analogue is a compact pre-amplifier for integrating into hi-fi systems where space is at a premium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWith three stereo Line Level (2x RCA pair, 1x 3.5mm jack) inputs, the diminuitive Pre Box S2 Analogue can accomodate three full-size source devices with ease.

All signal gain is executed with surface mount technology using proprietary multiple-output current mirrors with nearly 500 times the open loop linearity of other designs. Featuring 700 kHz bandwidth in a zero feedback, balanced, Krell Current Mode design, the Illusion II shares the same design philosophy as its bigger brother, the flagship Illusion preamplifier. Negative feedback is not used anywhere in the preamp, nor is it necessary. Open-loop distortion is typically less than 0.003%. The volume control is realized with a balanced resistor ladder - bandwidth and transient response of the preamp circuitry are virtually unaffected by the volume setting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nThe headphone circuitry is identical to the main circuitry, offering private listening with the same performance as speaker playback. Digital Module Highlights :the digital module supports up to 24 bit\/192kHz LPCM. All digital signals are fed to an ESS Sabre DAC and then sent to Krell’s Current Mode, discrete, balanced analog circuitry. Power Supply Highlights: oversized for a preamplifier, the power supply features a 95 VA transformer and 40,000 µF of capacitance giving it the ability to respond quickly to musical demands. The large power supply improves noise rejection and renders the Illusion II impervious to all but the most severe AC voltage power fluctuations.

It was acclaimed by many as the finest preamplifier available and a fitting tribute to all of the classic Audio Research products that were introduced during the forty years that preceded it. Included in the Reference 10 are critically chosen new components, proprietary custom-made capacitors, wiring, and new connectors that cumulatively provide a level of performance never before achieved. Key Audio Research design traits remain: The signal path is fully discrete, all-tube, pure Class-A, with zero feedback. Other attributes and choices remain, too: Each unit is completely hand-soldered and hand-constructed in our Minnesota facility using the finest materials, with major components such as custom transformers, plated-through circuit boards, and casework sourced locally. All engineering is performed in-house.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nThe Reference 10 follows a new aesthetic path as well. It has a very modern and elegant finish that will attract new admirers without alienating fans of our older products. The front panel of the main control unit has a new, large round volume knob on the right side, with two buttons under it for Power and Mute—the only two buttons on the unit—and a large display on the left. Our logo is above the knob on the right, making this the first asymmetrical Audio Research preamplifier ever. The left side of the front panel contains an interactive touch-screen display that allows the user to intuitively control almost all functions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe power supply chassis, connected to the main unit via two umbilical cords, simply has one green LED under its offset Audio Research logo. All of the side panels are finished identically to the front panels: Natural anodized, one quarter-inch thick, with no screws visible. The entire chassis (including rear panel) is painted silver to complete the look. There are beautiful new, clear acrylic covers with a revised perforation pattern. And, there is no printing on the front panel of either chassis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAfter the single 20A power cord, the Reference 10 is completely dual-mono from the power supply through the audio circuit. There are dual, separate low- and high-voltage transformers for each channel; there is dual-mono vacuum-tube regulation (one 6H30 and one 6550WE per channel), dual-mono audio circuits (four 6H30 per channel), and enough energy storage for a serious power amplifier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nJust as the Reference Anniversary was shockingly better than its predecessors, the Reference 10 offers a further level of resolution, refinement and dynamism that vividly improve the musical experience in every way. As we have said before, words can only fall short of your own experience; to understand how much more profound listening to your favorite recordings can be, you must hear the Reference 10.

We chose R-core transformers to power the audio circuits because of their inherently low noise and low radiated magnetic energy -- and because they worked so well in our previous designs. There are separate R-core transformers for left and right channels. A conventional EI transformer powers the control circuits, so the sensitive audio circuits are well-isolated from the noise of the control circuits. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nLine Stage Gain Module:\u003cbr\u003e\n We use our Line Stage Gain Module circuit in all Constellation Audio products, from the Inspiration series to the Reference series. This unique topology uses servo circuits to achieve an essentially perfect balance between the positive and negative halves of the audio signal. The result is, simply, a more lifelike sound, one free of the colorations that conventionally designed balanced preamp circuits can impart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFully balanced audio circuitry:\u003cbr\u003e\n Like our more costly preamps, the Inspiration line stage employs fully complementary balanced circuitry, in which the signal is amplified by two identical, mirror-imaged preamp circuits, one for the positive half of the signal, one for the negative half. This arrangement cancels interference while doubling the slew rate, yielding an impressive 100-kilohertz frequency response.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDouble-supported chassis joints to minimize vibration:\u003cbr\u003e\n The thick, machined aluminum panels that make up the Inspiration Line Stage's chassis are assembled using a unique combination of steel buttresses and a CNC-machined joinery system somewhat like the tongue-in-groove structure found in fine woodwork. The result is a chassis far stiffer and less prone to vibration than in most preamps in this price range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMechanically isolated circuit boards:\u003cbr\u003e\n To prevent microphonics and other vibration-induced distortions in the Inspiration Line Stage's sensitive audio circuits, we isolate the circuit boards from the main chassis using a pliable material. All connections from the power supply are made through cables that float freely between the power supply and the main preamp board, so they can't be affected by external disturbances and so they won't carry vibration from the power supply into the preamp circuits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \nHome theater bypass mode:\u003cbr\u003e\nFor those who don't want to sacrifice sound quality, yet want to enjoy two-channel music and home theater surround sound in the same system, the Inspiration Line Stage offers a home theater bypass mode. One of its inputs can be configured to receive the left and right channel signals from a surround-sound processor. In stereo, the signal passes only through the Inspiration line stage and the connected amp, so two-channel performance is completely unaffected by the home theater equipment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \nConstellation Direct interface:\u003cbr\u003e\n Like the Altair II and Virgo II preamps, the Inspiration Line Stage features the Constellation Direct interface. This interface routes the high-level, perfectly balanced audio signal from the preamp's Line Gain Stage Module straight into the voltage gain stage of a Constellation Audio amplifier. It bypasses the amplifier's own Line Gain Stage Module, removing one amplification stage from the signal chain and achieving even greater musicality in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMachined aluminum remote:\u003cbr\u003e\n Because the Inspiration line stage's elegant chassis comes from the same machine shop that builds our Reference and Performance series products, we simply couldn't use a generic remote. Thus, the Inspiration line stage's remote, like all of our others, is made from machined aluminum and has a suitably gratifying heft and feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFull dual mono construction:\u003cbr\u003e\n The Inspiration line stage's left and right audio channels have their own isolated, separate power supplies, each channel with its own low-noise R-core transformer. The preamp circuits and even the input and output jacks are arranged with the left channel components on the left side and the right-channel components on the right side.

This triple-transformer supply offers separate, isolated feeds for the left and right channels, as well as a separate feed for control circuits. Because each channel of audio cannot be affected by the power demands of the other (or of the control circuits), maximum sonic purity is achieved. The power supply now stretches the full width of the preamplifier, so the preamp section can sit directly atop the power supply. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nLine Stage Gain Module:\u003cbr\u003e\n One of the core technologies that make Constellation Audio products so extraordinary is this unique module, which is designed to deliver a more perfect match between the positive- and negative-going halves of the audio signal than conventional balanced preamplifiers can.

Selecting any other input returns the system to two-channel mode.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n \n\n \nMeticulous mechanical isolation:\u003cbr\u003e\n To protect the sensitive audio circuits from external vibration, we mount them on a metal “raft” that floats on an elastomeric suspension. We further isolate the circuits by separating Virgo II’s jack panel from the chassis with a pliable material. The metal construction of the “raft” shields the audio circuits from any interference emitted by the control circuits underneath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\nThick 8.2mm metal chassis for superior shielding:\u003cbr\u003e\nWe build Virgo II’s chassis from solid slabs of aluminum machined to a minimum thickness of 8.2mm, which is necessary to block 50\/60 Hz electromagnetic\n interference from household wiring and appliances. No sheet metal chassis can shield audio circuits anywhere near as effectively as the Virgo II’s heavy, sturdy enclosure can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nConstellation Direct interface:\u003cbr\u003e\n When Virgo II is used with any Constellation Audio amplifier, it can be connected via the Constellation Direct interface, which transmits a perfectly balanced audio signal from the Virgo’s gain stage straight into the power amplifier. This connection bypasses the input modules of the amplifiers, thus reducing the number of gain stages in the signal chain and achieving even greater musicality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMachined aluminium remote control:\u003cbr\u003e\n Any component as beautifully designed as Virgo II simply wouldn’t feel right with a conventional remote control, so we designed one to suit the preamp’s physical aesthetics.

In 1973, the SP3 was hailed as the best preamplifier available, and this tradition of excellence has continued ever since. The Reference Series from Audio Research was first introduced in 1995 and has been the ultimate representation of performance, musicality and power. The Reference 6 is the latest chapter of our story. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe Reference 6 is not simply a market-driven product, but rather, a solution to a need which arose after the creation of the Reference SE Series amplifiers. According to Warren Gehl, who is responsible for sonic development of all Audio Research products, the new series of Reference amplifiers offer a level of musical and dynamic capability only made apparent when using the flagship, two-chassis Reference 10 preamplifier. Both preamplifiers of the Reference Series need the ability to provide the full benefit of this new sonic landscape. Increasing the tube count to six in the analog section, and advancements in the power supply improved both macro- and microdynamics and lowered distortion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe Reference 6 also offers better bass control, relaxed purity and more dimensionality. Further improvements include a more grainless presentation, greater transparency, better speed, and more continuity across the musical spectrum. Quite simply, the Reference 6 improves upon its predecessor in every way for a more palpable and immediate musical performance. Numerous elements – transformers, capacitors, wiring – are designs exclusive to Audio Research and the Reference 6. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nA completely new chassis has allowed not only a more beautiful aesthetic, but also provides more structural rigidity to assist in the dissipation of electrical and mechanical interferences. Six premium 6H30 tubes are now used in the audio circuit (increased from four tubes in the Reference 5SE) to provide an even quieter background and increased dynamic range. The tube-regulated power supply is also a new design for improved sonics.

And you can tune in to internet radio and access popular music streaming services such as TIDAL, simply and easily too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nEach sample of a digital recording must remain evenly spaced in time. Unfortunately, timing can vary, especially when reading discs. This is “jitter”, degrading music's sense of space and diminishing realism. Meridian's multiple “First In, First Out” buffering system minimises jitter, ensuring perfect timing and improved clarity. You enjoy a clearer feeling of the instruments and their interrelationship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFilters are critical in digital audio. Commonly they introduce distortion and harshness because of \"pre-ringing\". Early digital recordings suffer from harshness too, due to primitive filters. After painstaking research, Meridian developed a special filter that avoids pre-ringing, so it can be steeper, cleaning up the effects of early filters. The result: a better, cleaner sound from recordings old and new. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMHR was the first approved encryption method for transferring high definition digital audio between components. Previously, it had to be in the analogue domain, reducing quality. MHR allows secure movement of high resolution digital audio within a Meridian system, without compromise, improving quality by reducing cyclic repetition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTraditional audio systems often require large, expensive cables to maintain their performance. Meridian's SpeakerLink uses an “Ethernet style” cable that delivers pristine digital sound and control down a single cable between Meridian components. The result is simple, unobtrusive, and cost-effective cables that are easy to install. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSourced from the original studio master recording as approved by the creative team, MQA combines an advanced new digital sampling technology that captures extremely high frequency timing and detail in an audio signal with an equally novel system to “encapsulate” that data into a form for delivery using any lossless file format or streaming. The listener’s decoder reconstructs the entire original signal, bringing up an indicator confirming that what they are hearing is exactly the same as the original master. Without the decoder, the listener enjoys CD quality reproduction. Its most advanced form, “MQA Studio”, uses the technology in the studio to generate an even higher quality master recording as the source. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMeridian Select, our bespoke colour service, provides a choice of over 270 different colours and shades to help your Meridian system achieve an ideal match – or striking standout look – within its surroundings, in addition to the standard choice of Piano Lacquer Gloss Black.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMAX POWER CONSUMPTION - 40 Watts\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDIMENSIONS - 175 (6.9) x 480 (18.9) x 411 (16.2) mm (in)\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWEIGHT - 16 kG","brand":"Meridian","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":57412939284812,"sku":"MERIDIANREF818V3","price":6666.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special Colours","offer_id":57422840627532,"sku":"MERIDIANREF818V3-SC","price":7083.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/Meridian-Reference-818v3.jpg?v=1777538792"},{"product_id":"mark-levinson-no-52-reference-pre-amplifier","title":"Mark Levinson No 52 Reference Pre Amplifier","description":"The Nº52 is unquestionably the finest Mark Levinson preamplifier ever.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTechnical Specifications:-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nPhysical\u003cbr\u003e \n \nUnit Weight 22 lbs [13.5 kg]\u003cbr\u003e \nUnit Dimensions 14” x 17” x 4” [ 36cm x 43cm x 10cm] \u003cbr\u003e\nShipping Weight 31 lbs [19 kg] \u003cbr\u003e\nShipping Dimensions 20.5”x 24” x 10” [52cm x 61cm x 25cm] \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPower requirements\u003cbr\u003e \n \nInput Power Model specific 100VAC, 120VAC, or 230VAC 50 or 60Hz \u003cbr\u003e\nPower Consumption 60W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\nAudio inputs \u003cbr\u003e\nCoaxial RCA single ended (5), XLR Balanced (5) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAudio Outputs \u003cbr\u003e\nCoaxial RCA single ended (2), XLR Balanced (2) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAnalog Audio Output\u003cbr\u003e \n \nConnector  RCA\/XLR Unbalanced \/Balanced (X2)\u003cbr\u003e \nOutput level 4.0 Vrms \u003cbr\u003e\nOutput Impedance \u0026lt;

Power Supply, internal electronics and some form of volume control.\n Most designs glorify their internal electronics, but economise by starving them with an inadequate power supply and throttling the output \nemploying a cheap volume control. These two building blocks can typically give excellent measured performance but fail to deliver sonically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Power supplies are hardly new territory for AVID, using them to great effect within our turntables and phonostages.\n So whilst the Pre-Amplifier draws very little current they have used a colossal 1Kva mains transformer, because the improvement was considerable.\n Adding over 350,000uF capacitor power reservoir, half in the power supply, half in the Pre-Amplifier itself, also witnessed immense dividends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Avid's obsession for perfection extends to all three building blocks, with a limitless desire that not one should fall short on performance.\n The internal electronics commands the same attention to detail. The amplifier topology is a fully balanced design, in common with the Pulsare, \nwith exceptionally low noise and distortion across the audio spectrum, however the Reference Pre-Amplifier uses an active RIAA stage rather than \nthe Pulsare's passive design, pushing performance to new levels of excellence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n As with the Pulsare, at no point is signal integrity compromised, using relays for every adjustment. Every input and output is optionally \nXLR or RCA for complete flexibility and the phonostage allows up to four cartridges to be connected simultaneously for real vinyl aficionados.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Mono can also be selected, catering for the growing interest in this playback style. Added to this are three line stages and a fixed level tape output. Four main outputs allow up to four mono-amplifiers to be powered in either balanced or single ended configuration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Avid developed their own wound film capacitors with polypropylene dielectric, employing no less than thirty within the circuitry.\n Being physically large capacitors they hang vertically below the main circuit board in close proximity to each other.\n This can cause reduced cross-talk performance in this situation, but again they didn’t fall short of their agenda.\n So they machined a 55mm solid aluminium block with individual pockets, then electroless nickel plated it to screen each capacitor.\n Extreme ?  Yes !   But their crusade for perfection would not stop at any hurdle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Such an unrelenting obsession for nirvana bought them to the crowning glory and the \"King\" of volume controls.\nThey explored and listened to more volume controlling devices over three years than you can begin to imagine. Digital resistor ladders, Burr-Brown chips, Bourns, Penney \u0026amp; Giles, studio grade sliders and even bespoke rotary stepped attenuators with matched resistors from a man in a cave. \n All were overshadowed by the performance the ALPS RK50 bestows and truly deserves the accolade \"King\" of volume controls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Handmade from signal conductive plastic and manufactured to absurd limits, this key component is indicative of our absolute purist approach.\n Gone is the conventional ‘performance-limiting’ remote control motor with its field effects and rewarded with a breathtaking perception of realism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Why do others not use this magnificent jewel? The answer is simple...Cost.\n Perfection comes at a price and it’s purely Avid's self-indulgent and obsessive drive for perfection that makes AVID devoid of such thoughts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Prejudice may stop you hearing, cost may prevent its purchase but to listen is to believe and believe us, this is \"close to perfection\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTechnical Specifications:-\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\n\nInputs \n \n: 2x XLR Phono - 3x XLR Line\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n: 2x RCA Phono - 3x RCA Line\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \n\nOutputs:\n \n: 4x XLR\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n: 4x RCA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \n\nDimensions\n \n: 500 x 410 x 190mm (WxDxH)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \n\nNet weight\n \n: Control unit   - 34Kg (75lb)    PSU   - 28Kg (62lb)\n \n\n","brand":"AVID","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57413243633996,"sku":"AVIDREFPREAMP","price":62500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/Avid-Ref-Pre-Amp.jpg?v=1777540692"},{"product_id":"luxman-cl38uc-valve-power-amplifier","title":"Luxman CL-38uC Valve Pre Amplifier","description":"\nCL-38uC An attractive custom vacuum tube control amplifier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe CL-38uC control amplifier and the MQ-88uC power amplifier are based on the latest technology and design, but the exterior styling evokes a classic image from the heyday of vacuum tube audio products. The CL-38uC is modeled on the CL-35, released in 1970, and the MQ-88uC is modeled on the MQ-60, released in 1969. A classic front panel design should be functional, but also beautiful, achieved by careful selection of knobs and lever switches. Listeners can appreciate such traditional design features, with their nostalgic flavor, whilst enjoying these contemporary, high performance audio products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nEach CL-38uC control amplifier and MQ-88uC power amplifier undergoes a final performance check after a 48 hour aging process following assembly.

The chassis has been expanded to a width of 440mm which is the standard size for current LUXMAN products. The internal chassis acts as an omnidirectional shielded metal enclosure. In order to prevent magnetic flux leakage and eliminate noise, the toroidal power transformer and choke transormer have integral shielded cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe CL-38uC's SRPP circuitry, used for the phono equalizer section, tone control section and amp section, ensures a flat frequency response and has other advantages, such as a low output impedance (300 ohm), low distortion and extended vacuum tube life.

Treble is crystal clear with not a hint of hardness or brashness. It just sounds right! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n The nature of the transformer design eliminates the problems usually associated with resistive passive controls. At the zero dB setting the input signal is directly connected to the output. This means that the output impedance of The Allegri+ is the same as the output impedance of the source component. Further, the input impedance of The Allegri+ is equal to the input impedance of the power amplifier at this setting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n At -6dB (output voltage half the input voltage), the input impedance of The Allegri+ is four times the input impedance of the power amplifier and the output impedance of the Allegri+ is one quarter of the source impedance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n At -20dB (10 to 1), the input impedance of the Allegri+ is one hundred times the power amplifier impedance and the output impedance of the Allegri+ is one hundredth of the impedance of the source component. It is thus clear that the interconnect cable capacitance will have no effect on the performance of the Allegri+. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n There are no coupling capacitors or active devices in the signal path in The Allegri+ and the absence of a noise-injecting power supply guarantees ultimate sound quality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe Allegri+ has a six-position input selector, a mute switch and a 24-position volume control with intervals chosen to cover a wide range of volume levels in different systems. Its state-of-the-art autotransformers are wound with Townshend Audio Fractal-Wire™ and laminated with ultra-thin mu-metal laminations for the highest possible resolution. There are six pairs of gold plated stereo phono inputs and two pairs of outputs and a 3.5mm input jack on the front panel. The case is made of anodised aluminium. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Preamps of today do not require gain as all quality source components have an output of about 2 volts with a low output impedance. Any competent power amplifier will achieve full output with typically 1 volt and have a high input impedance. Unlike conventional passive controllers the Townshend Allegri+ matches the impedance requirements of source and amplifier so that full dynamics are retained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\n Fractal-Wire ™ results in the most accurate, uncoloured and open-sounding preamplifier possible – with astonishing transparency and resolution of fine detail. It is DC coupled with no capacitors in the signal path. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n It is essential to use F1 Fractal-Wire™ interconnects for both input and output of the Allegri+, so as not to compromise the profound advantage of the Fractal-Wire wound transformers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n For the very best sound quality, we recommend optimising you system by using Townshend F1 Fractal™ Interconnects and F1 Fractal™ Speaker Cables. \n Female XLR to Phono and Phono to male XLR adaptor cables are available separately, enabling full balanced operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFEATURES:- \u003cbr\u003e\n•Fractal-Wire ™, results in the most accurate, uncoloured and open-sounding preamplifier possible – with astonishing transparency and resolution of fine detail. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n•Autotransformer Passive Stereo Preamplifier A high fidelity line level controller that selects 6 RCA phono inputs, adjusts gain and provides 2 RCA phono outputs. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n•Purely passive device eliminates signal degradation caused by mains-born noise.\u003cbr\u003e \n\n•6 inputs, 2 outputs. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n•24 position volume control provides gain change from +4dB to -60 dB. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n•Mute switch to select off at any volume setting.\u003cbr\u003e \n\n•DC coupled with no capacitor in the signal path for ultimate sound quality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:-\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFrequency response: 8Hz-100kHz +\/- 0.1dB \u003cbr\u003e\nMaximum signal level: 4V RMS 8Hz; 10V RMS 20Hz \u003cbr\u003e\nMaximum DC offset : 5mV.

It uses the same core circuit topology as Virgo III, and a few minor changes aside, the same separate power supply. The main difference is that Pictor has fewer inputs. For simpler systems, Pictor is the perfect choice: simplicity and sound quality distilled into a single product.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n As with all of our preamps, Pictor uses our Line Stage Gain Module, a unique design that uses a servo circuit to monitor and maintain the balance between the positive and negative halves of the audio signal. When Pictor is used with a Constellation power amplifier, the Constellation Link may be employed, maximizing sound quality by bypassing the power amplifier’s gain stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n Pictor mirrors Virgo III’s convenience and refreshingly simple design. A front touchscreen with elegant, easy-to-read fonts accesses all adjustments. Frequently used controls are also available on a machined aluminum remote. A home theater bypass mode is provided for seamless integration with surround-sound systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eTriple-transformer, separate power supply\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPictor’s power supply resides in a separate chassis made from machined aluminum slabs, connected to the preamp section by three high-current PCOCC cables tipped with Hypertronics connectors originally developed for aerospace. Keeping the power supply seprate shields the audio cirucitry from the electromagetic fields generated by the transformers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nInside the chassis are three separate power supplies, one each for left channel, right channel and control circuits. This dual-mono design provides separate R-core transformers for left and right channels. Thus, extreme demands in one channel do not affect the other, so the music is reproduced with all the natural imaging and soundstaging of the original recording. A third EI-type transformer powers Pictor’s control circuits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOur optional DC power filter augments the already impressive power storage and filtration in the stock power supply. The added peak output and filtration from the DC filter allows Pictor to achieve even better dynamics with even lower power supply noise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eLine Stage Gain Module for perfect signal balance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe core of Pictor is the Line Stage Gain Module circuit originally developed for our Reference Series Altair line stage. We have found no better method of amplifying and buffering line-level signals. It is a fully balanced topology, with separate mirror-imaged circuits to amplify the positive and negative halves of the audio signal. To assure clear reproduction of even the subtlest details, we use a servo circuit that continuously monitors and maintains the positive\/negative signal balance. Use of ultra-low-noise field-effect transistors (FETs) assures that Pictor’s outputs emit pure music and nothing else.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBecause Pictor’s outputs achieve essentially perfect balance, they can be connected to Direct inputs of our power amplifiers. This forms the Constellation Link, which further improves fidelity by bypassing the amplifier’s own Line Stage Gain Module.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003ePhysically isolated audio circuits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPictor’s audio circuit boards mount on a thick metal plate, which is “floated” using soft, pliable isolators. This isolation prevents ground-borne vibration from reaching the audio circuits. Vibration control in line-level audio components is especially important because the vibrations can create small fluctuations in the values of passive components. These fluctuations can produce an audio signal of their own, which pollutes the music signal and obscures detail. Thanks to our careful layout and construction, these issues are never a concern with Pictor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nKey chassis components are machined from think aluminum slabs. The sheer mass of the metal makes it harder for vibrations to affect Pictor, and the unusually thick panels are capable of blocking any electromagnetic or radio-frequency interference commonly encountered in a home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eElegant, friendly design\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAll of Pictor’s features and adjustments can be controlled through a large, easy-to-read LCD touchscreen on the front panel. Even Pictor’s most advanced features, such as input gain preset and home theater bypass, can be accessed with just a few touches. We chose the touchscreen fonts not only because they look great, but also because they are easy to read from across a room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPictor’s most commonly used controls, such as volume, input selection and mute, can also be accessed through its machined aluminum remote, which echoes the style and elegance of the preamp itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWe have noticed that many audiophiles are gravitating toward simpler systems, perhaps with just a turntable and a digital media server as sources. For them, Pictor may be the ideal preamp. Its sound quality is exceeded only by that of our Altair II and Virgo III preamps. Its versatility allows it to achieve maximum fidelity from any source. And its simplicity and ease of use make it a pleasure to use and hear every day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTechnical Specifications:-\u003cbr\u003e\n\nInputs:\n\n3 XLR stereo, 3 RCA stereo, USB (for control)\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nOutputs:\n\n2 XLR stereo, 2 RCA stereo, 12-volt trigger\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nTHD+N:\n\n\n \u0026lt; 0.001%, 20 Hz - 20 kHz @ 2V out\n\n \u0026lt; 0.1%, 20 Hz - 20 kHz @ 10V out\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nFrequency response:\n\n10 Hz to 100 kHz, ±0.5 dB\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nSignal-to-noise ratio:\n\n \u0026gt; -105 dB, A-weighted\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nInput impedance (balanced):\n\n20 KΩ\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nInput impedance (unbalanced):\n\n10 KΩ\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nOutput impedance:\n\n \u0026lt; 50Ω\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nVolume control resolution:\n\n0.5 dB from 0dB to -90 dBFS\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nWeight:\n\n\nPreamp: 45 lbs\/20.4 kg\n\nPower supply: 22 lbs\/10 kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nDimensions (W x H x D):\n\n\nPreamp: 17 x 5.25 x 15 in (whd)\n 43.2 x 13.3 x 38.1 cm (whd)\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPower supply: 17 x 2.75 x 14.5 in (whd)\n 43.2 x 7 x 36.8 cm (whd)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","brand":"Constellation Audio","offers":[{"title":"Constellation Audio Revelation Series - Pictor","offer_id":57413630689612,"sku":"CONSTAUDIOREV-PICTOR","price":19998.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Constellation Audio Revelation Series - DC Filter for Pictor","offer_id":57423052472652,"sku":"CONSAUDIOREV-DCFILTERPICTOR","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/Constellation-Audio-Pictor.jpg?v=1777545138"},{"product_id":"marantz-av8805-13-2-channel-network-processing","title":"Marantz AV8805 - 13.2 Channel Network Processing","description":"AV8805 - AV Pre-Amplifier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOverview:\u003cbr\u003e\nThe versatile Marantz AV8805 pre-amplifier redefines the audiophile home cinema and music listening experience with an unprecedented 13.2 channel processing capability, and support for virtually any high-resolution multichannel audio format.

That's why toroidal power transformers are used in the very best audio products. Compared to standard transformers, toroids radiate about 1\/10 the magnetic field that pollutes music and obscures detail. Additionally, the absence of an air gap typically means toroids have an 8:1 reduction of acoustic noise. As transformers are the most expensive components in any audio product, manufacturers will even house cheaper C-core and EI-core transformers in an outboard power supply box with an umbilical cable rather than upgrade to an expensive toroid. The increased cost is significant, but PrimaLuna doesn’t cut corners. All PrimaLuna products use massive, potted toroidal transformers. PrimaLuna transformers are enclosed in a metal housing and then potted in a non-microphonic resin to further reduce noise and to protect the windings from moisture and deterioration forever. They are massive, resulting in a preamp weighing a substantial 31 pounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTUBE RECTIFIED\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIn the world of preamps, experts agree that tube rectification is the gold standard. It’s quieter than solid state rectification, dropping the noise floor. And it offers the most natural, textured, and vibrant presentation because the circuit is now pure tube. But because it is expensive to implement, you’ll only find it in the top of the line models typically costing  $10,000 or more. Finding a preamp using one rectifier tube is sweet. PrimaLuna goes even further using two 5AR4 rectifier tubes in a dual-mono design to present your music with a three-dimensionality that will give you goosebumps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nJAPANESE ALPS BLUE VELVET POTENTIOMETER\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe best tube preamps use analogue volume controls. Not volume control chips. Look inside the most well-known brand of tube preamps and you will see a chip called a DS1666-10 Digital Resistor IC. At Primaluna, we understand the temptation to use this chip as they cost $4 each (half that in quantity!). The preamp will sound fine and be quiet, but true to “chips” it will add an electronic “sheen” to the sound. PrimaLuna prefers analogue. And we use the Gold Standard in motorized potentiometers:  The iconic Alps Blue Velvet. Why? Because they track perfectly, stay quiet, and don’t sound like chips!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSUPERQUIET LINE INPUTS\u003cbr\u003e\n\nInput selector switches leak noise and signals from other sources, as they never turn off the other inputs completely. And, they deteriorate with age, requiring the use of cleaners. Many are mounted on the front panel requiring long runs of wires to the back panel inputs. These wires pick up stray noise from RF and EMI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPrimaLuna has a better way. Instead of a switch, input selection is done using premium quality sealed relays mounted in the rear where you plug in your components. When an input is selected, that relay closes giving you the best connection possible. All the other relays are left open, so noise and signals from other sources can’t leak in. The signal path is now almost non-existent, so there are no wires to pick up noise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPOINT TO POINT WIRING\u003cbr\u003e\n\nYou spend a lot of money on interconnects. So why have the signal go right from the RCA jacks or speaker terminals into circuit boards with copper traces so thin you can hardly see them? What’s high-end about that?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPrimaLuna employs Point to Point Wiring on all products. The entire signal path, including resistors and capacitors, is painstakingly hand wired with heavy-gauge cable by craftsman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDUAL-MONO DESIGN\u003cbr\u003e\n\nExpensive and exotic preamps always use a dual-mono design to achieve a level of imaging not possible otherwise. Most manufacturers don’t employ dual-mono because of expense. It requires two power transformers, double regulation circuits, and in fact….everything is double. In effect, dual-mono means building two discrete and separate preamps into one box. It is so expensive to build, it’s a rarity even at the highest price points. All PrimaLuna preamps are dual-mono for the ultimate in stereo imaging and a sense of space that goes on forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSMARTGAIN DESIGN\u003cbr\u003e\n\nA preamplifier is typically not required to add any gain to your system when you are using it. It is usually lowering gain from the source you are listening to. The number one complaint from audiophiles about preamp performance is noise. So why is it that so many manufacturers design preamps with 20 to 27dB of gain? And you wonder why there is \"hiss\", and why tubes go noisy or microphonic? PrimaLuna preamps use SmartGain. With a gain specification of only 10.8dB, you will find your PrimaLuna preamp is as quiet as a church mouse. If tubes are less than perfect, you may never know it because they are not amplifying as \"loud\".
