    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.

    Additional DescriptionMore Details

    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 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.

    Additional DescriptionMore Details

    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!

  • Moving Coil
  • Moving Magnet
  • Front panel gain adjust
  • Remote control volume
  • Mono
  • Stereo
  • Dual mono signal path
  • Balanced input to output
  • Phase reversal
  • Passive RIAA Curve
  • RIAA accuracy better than 1/10th dB

    Naim NAC-202 Six Input Control Preamp

    The Naim NAC 202 combines first-class sound quality with flexibility, style and excellent value. Significant improvements in technology led to an entirely new range using new high quality star-earthed circuit boards, combining the classic Naim values of musicality and power with flexibility and value.

    The Naim NAC 202 may either be powered by a NAP 150 or NAP 200 amplifier or significantly upgraded by adding Naim power supplies to independently feed the analogue audio and digital control circuits. Low-resonance circuit boards and anti-vibration, resonance controlling feet minimize the effect of microphonic vibration on the highly sensitive electronic components.

    Additional DescriptionMore Details

    Carefully matched precision rotary potentiometers with precious metal wipers are used to ensure long-term stability and preserve musical integrity. The intelligent balance control combines a high quality motorised potentiometer for the best performance with intelligent circuitry to indicate the centre position. The NAC 202 features a silent microprocessor that sleeps during listening and controls all aspects of the amplifier including: optical protection circuits that continuously monitor the power supplies ensuring safe shut down in the event of a power cut; user-configurable 'Smart IR' remote control for simple easy and control of the naim system.

    The six inputs on the Naim NAC 202 can be selected directly from either the front panel or the NARCOM system remote. In addition to the usual DIN plug inputs, preferred for their superior earthing and impedance matching, two of the inputs can be configured for use with the more common RCA phono connectors, allowing a wide range of non-Naim cables and components to be used. A dedicated unity-gain input is also provided for use with the Naim AV2 processor or similar.

    FEATURES

  • Six line-level inputs including two user-configurable versatile (DIN / phono) inputs.
  • User configurable unity-gain AV input.
  • Powered input for use with Stageline or Prefix phono stage.

    Dynavector L-300 Pre amplifier



    The Dynavector L-300 is a 2-channel ( stereo ) line level preamplifier that provides seven audio inputs ( including an optional Phono input ), three audio outputs and a tape/record output.

    There is also provision for a digital input and output if at some future date a digital module is released.  A communications port is also included that can be implemented in the future as required.
    This unit is ex dem (current spec0 and in excellent condition

    Additional DescriptionMore Details

    The L-300 features unique, highly linear, amplifier stages that automatically adapt to the volume level to maximise linearity and minimise noise and distortion. The L-300 has no mechanical switches or moving parts in the signal chain. Source selection is accomplished by using precision electronic switches that eliminate all the problems found with mechanical switching devices including relays. The L-300’s electronic switches cannot wear out, the switch action is always perfect, they cannot corrode or change, they do not generate electrical noise, are unaffected by vibration and they operate silently. The electronic volume control offers precise gain matching between the channels over the whole volume range. You can be assured that the performance of your L-300 will be as perfect in 10 years as on the day you purchased it.

    The output stage has very low output impedance, wide bandwidth and high current delivery for driving difficult loads right across the whole frequency range. This overcomes many of the problems with interconnect cables and component matching, allowing the L-300 to be used with a wide range of cables and power amplifiers.

    The latest surface mount technology, combined with advanced multi-layer printed circuit boards that have increased thickness pure Australian copper tracks, provide maximum performance and reliability. The printed circuit board has a full analogue ground plane to ensure freedom from noise and virtual silence even at high volume levels. No adjustment or calibration is required and the only maintenance necessary is occasional dusting/cleaning.

    The L-300 is deliberately simple and intuitive to use, while it offers true audiophile performance, there are only two control knobs so anyone can use it. The remote control handset is also simple and practical. There are only 5 buttons and it fits in the hand only one way round. Therefore you can find the correct buttons without looking at it.

    The L-300 combines the highest audiophile performance with a simple functional design and appearance that will serve you and your music faithfully for many years.
