TUBE PREAMP V BASIC
Price: $28,500.00USD
TUBE PREAMP V (with PHONO MM/MC)
Price: $31,000.00USD
Introducing the ACCUSTIC ARTS® TUBE PREAMP V, an audiophile reference preamplifier embodying the innovative “tube hybrid” concept with 4 reference tubes (2 tubes per channel). Its fully balanced circuit design from input to output ensures uncompromised performance.
Experience an enhanced sonic journey with optimized sound quality through a newly designed main board. This preamplifier leverages the advantages of the “tube hybrid” technology, delivering an extensive bandwidth, minimal distortion factors, and a richly textured sound spectrum. Four separated amplification paths offer precision without interference.
Tune your sound effortlessly with “plug and play” tube swaps. Revel in its fully balanced design, coupled with a high-end Class A output stage. A color high-resolution display introduces convenience.
Components of outstanding quality, like Burr Brown® OPA 627, ensure unrivaled performance, complemented by high-quality gold-plated contacts on relays. A new 4-channel digital volume control minimizes crosstalk.
Connectivity thrives with 3 fully balanced high-level inputs (XLR) and 2 unbalanced inputs (RCA). Versatile outputs include 2 fully balanced (XLR) and 2 unbalanced (RCA) options, alongside a headphone output and phase switch. Encapsulated 50 VA toroidal core transformers offer high output reserves, ensuring refined sound.
Craftsmanship shines with a solid aluminum front panel, cover, and chromed brass knobs. Experience the pinnacle of audio artistry with the ACCUSTIC ARTS® TUBE PREAMP V, a true testament to precision, expertly “Handmade in Germany.”
