Description
Key Features:
- Type: Line-level preamplifier
- Valve Complement: Three double triode valves (ECC88) in a classic Tim de Paravicini circuit. Some sources mention ECC82/12AU7 and ECC83/12AX7.
- Inputs: Five line-level RCA inputs.
- Outputs: One main RCA output, one tape output RCA. The Deluxe version adds extra outputs for bi-amping.
- Tape Monitoring: Offers a genuine tape monitoring circuit (making a total of six inputs including the tape return).
- Volume Control: High-quality volume control fitted.
- Power Switch: Panel-mounted power switch.
- Terminals: Gold-plated input and output terminals.
- Power Supply: High-quality toroidal transformer feeding a double DC power supply for both low-tension (heater) and high-tension (anode) voltages, ensuring pure DC and minimal AC ripple.
- Lifespan: Valves are designed for a minimum life of five years of continuous operation (discounting occasional random premature failure).
- Output: More than enough output to drive any power amplifier (transistor or valve) and suitable for long interconnect cables.
- Versions: Available in Classic (black box) and Deluxe (chrome and gold finish, extra outputs, neon power monitor light) specifications.
