PS Audio Trio P200 Preamplifier
Stereo Preamplifier that is our most affordable ever. This is a high-value wonderful performer that has zero sonic compromises. Based on our revolutionary new Gain Cell technology, the P200 preamplifier does not attenuate the incoming source signal and thus degrade it. Instead, inside the P200 is a unique variable gain amplification stage that allows the user to adjust the gain via the front panel control or the supplied remote control, without attenuating the signal. This is the cleanest and sonically superior method of controlling gain to your amplifier. The P200 features three single ended RCA inputs and a balanced XLR and single ended RCA output to connect to your power amplifier.
Great sound can be elusive if every component in the system isn’t up to the task of presenting music without degradation. The preamplifier, which every source passes through is especially critical in this scenario. The P200, while inexpensive, is a fully built excellent performer that provides everything you need in a basic system. The P200 passes music without degradation and because of the internal analog Gain Cells that control the level to your system, you have unmatched sonic resolution at your fingertips.

PS Audio Trio C100 Control Amplifier
100 watt integrated Control Amplifier providing everything you need for an entire high-end two-channel audio system. Similar in concept to an integrated amplifier, but without all the sonic compromises that integrated amplifiers suffer from, the Trio C100 provides multiple inputs, remote control and a cool running 100 watt per channel power amplifier all in one gorgeous compact chassis. Based on Gain Cell technology for the gain control and ICE technology for the power amplifiers, this dual mono design is state of the art in its performance and represents one of the best values in high-end audio today.
What’s wrong with a volume control? It is just one more of many impediments in the signal path. In all high-end systems the fewer components the signal has to pass through the better. Volume and level controls restrict dynamic range and frequency response, hampering musical performance.
What we would like to do is eliminate as many impediments to the purity of the signal path as we can and that is just what the C100 Control Amplifier has accomplished. By eliminating the preamplifier and its volume control entirely, all that is left is a high-end variable gain power amplifier and a clean musically satisfying performance.

PS Audio GCPH Phono Preamplifier
The GCPH is built around the same design philosophy all PS phono preamplifiers have enjoyed over the last 30 years: a passive RIAA curve and fully discrete class A gain stages. It is our finest work to date and should again set the standard for standalone phono amplification for many years to come.
We’ve also managed to make some serious improvements to our original design techniques in the GCPH, by adding a dual mono, balanced signal path and dual mono power supplies. Separating the signal paths and the power supplies into, essentially, mono paths adds a wonderful level of separation in the audio chain and helps lower the noise to nearly imperceptible levels. This is truly a state-of-the-art phono preamplifier that can be used as an add on to your preamplifier or all by itself feeding your power amplifier directly!
