A pre amplifier or pre-amp is the very hub of a hi-fi system. All your source equipment connects to the pre amplifier. Most common is an active (powered) preamplifier design but there do exist some passive (non powered) designs. Using a separate pre and power amplifier brings about significant audio improvements over an integrated design as it minimises crosstalk and each component benefits from its own dedicated power supply.

Jadis DPMC MKII Phono Pre Amplifier
|
|
The DPMC is a phono MM MC preamplifier with a level control. It uses 4 ECC83 in the preamplifier and to correct the RIAA stage. A tube regulated power supply ensures stability. This unit is ideal for connecting an integrated amplifier of a phono stage.
The all-tubed units looked and felt sumptuous, with sound to match. The line-stage was ultrasilent with its simple and elegant circuitry. [...] What it added was more than pleasant, and didn't mask vital musical information.

Krell Illusion II - Pre Amplifier
|
|
The Illusion II is the perfect centerpiece for a world class digital and analog audio system. Added to the normal selection of balanced and single- ended inputs are five digital inputs. The digital module features AES/EBU, coaxial, and optical digital inputs for use with streaming devices or other digital sources.
DESCRIPTION :
Circuitry Highlights: the Illusion II preamplifier is a dual monaural design with the left and right channels afforded their own power supply regulation and individual circuit boards. All signal gain is executed with surface mount technology using proprietary multiple-output current mirrors with nearly 500 times the open loop linearity of other designs. Featuring 700 kHz bandwidth in a zero feedback, balanced, Krell Current Mode design, the Illusion II shares the same design philosophy as its bigger brother, the flagship Illusion preamplifier. Negative feedback is not used anywhere in the preamp, nor is it necessary. Open-loop distortion is typically less than 0.003%. The volume control is realized with a balanced resistor ladder - bandwidth and transient response of the preamp circuitry are virtually unaffected by the volume setting.

Krell Illusion - Pre Amplifier
|
|
Kell announces the Krell Illusion preamplifier. An Ideal companion for the new Class A series of iBias power amps , the Illusion preamplifier is a perfect centerpieces for a world class two channel audio systems.
The Krell Illusion preamplifier is a dual monaural circuit design with the left and right channels afforded their own power supply regulation and individual full chassis sized boards. All signal gain is realized in surface mount topology using proprietary multiple-output current mirrors with nearly 500 times the open loop linearity of other designs. 1.5 MHz open loop bandwidth in a zero feedback, balanced, Krell Current Mode design terminating in Krell CAST. The Illusion preamplifier extends the Krell tradition of separating the power supply from the audio circuitry in our flagship preamplifiers. Sharing the new Class A iBias power amplifier aesthetic and featuring Krell CAST technology, the Illusion preamplifier is the ideal match for the new Solo 375 and Solo 575 power amplifiers.

Pro-Ject Pre Box DS2 Analogue
|
|
DS2 Line
The Pre Box DS2 Analogue is a pure, single-ended Class A output pre-amplifier. Improving on its predecessor not just with the new DS2 aesthetic, internally it also now boasts a high-end circuit design.
The electrical layout of the Pre Box DS2 Analogue, in combination with a newly developed relay-controlled volume pot, ensures the amplifier has an extremely low noise floor. The inputs are also switched by high-quality relays and the use of couple-capacitor-free signal paths means the electrical signal leaves the amplifier as clean as possible.

|
Pre Box S2 Analogue
The Pre Box S2 Analogue is a compact pre-amplifier for integrating into hi-fi systems where space is at a premium.
With three stereo Line Level (2x RCA pair, 1x 3.5mm jack) inputs, the diminuitive Pre Box S2 Analogue can accomodate three full-size source devices with ease. The stereo Pre Output allows for connection to a power amplifier (ideally the matching Amp Box S2), while the additional 3.5mm Fixed Output allows for onward connection to a subwoofer, or even an analogue headphone amplifier for private listening sessions.
