The first preamplifier based on our groundbreaking new platform. Now builds upon that award-winning heritage with world-class technology borrowed from other models. Improves both sound quality and overall performance well beyond the original.

The volume control circuit now has refinement with 0.5dB steps for more precise control and a lower noise floor. The headphone circuit incorporates advanced technology, with both improved sound and power to get the best performance from even the most difficult to drive headphones.

The phono stage is now directly derived from a dedicated phono preamp. The new phono circuit is quieter, better sounding, and has higher gain. It offers four different user adjustable levels of gain ranging from 43dB to 65dB to accommodate virtually any cartridge. A wide variety of loading options means the favorite cartridge can be precisely configured to sound its very best.

Other features include a home theater bypass, processor loop, and mono function. The remote allows convenient access to volume, balance, selector, mute, mono and on/off from the listening position.

The display has been upgraded to an easy-to-read and defeatable OLED display with improved contrast. The soft blue display provides volume, balance and source information in large easy to read characters.
