Essential Line Preamplifier
A simple tube line stage with two inputs. Adds warmth and drive to any system.
A tube line preamplifier is often the most noticeable upgrade for a solid-state or streaming system. The Essential Line Preamp uses one or two small triodes, a quality stepped volume control and a power transformer wound in Thailand. It is quiet, easy to live with and matches any of our power amplifiers.
