The volume control, the object of a new patent, allows perfect level matching with a much more transparent sound compared to pots and switch resistor technology, because there is no attenuation of the input signal, just an automatic selection of a tap on the Nagra custom output transformer. In addition, left and right levels are identical.
“The HD PREAMP has the best specifications ever achieved by any tube preamplifier, a floor noise lower than -160 dB and 5 Hz to 200kHz frequency response with perfect phase integrity. The impedance input is 50 k Ohm and the output impedance is as low as 0.2 Ohm so that you can drive any amplifier on the market.
The HD PREAMP is able to accurately reproduce a square wave at 16 Hz.
And the sound ! With one E88CC vacuum tube per channel the HD PREAMP reproduces music giving a natural impression, full spectrum bandwidth and extreme stability.
It also produces a precise 3D holographic soundstage. It is very difficult to express the impact of this design as we didn’t think it was possible to achieve such an unbelievable result.
Pure emotion !”
