SONIC ART "THE WHISPER" PASSIVE PREAMPLIFIER

SONIC ART ‘THE WHISPER’ PASSIVE PREAMPLIFIER

‘The WHISPER’ is a hand made in Australia passive preamplifier that features 3 RCA inputs and a single RCA output, connected throughout with our Silver Copper alloy PTFE insulated MilSpec wire and soldered exclusively with CARDAS Quad eutectic silver solder.

This passive pre features a hi grade Japanese ALPS Black motorised pot, controlled via a separate circuit which is powered via a small AC linear plug pack. The 9v power wiring is shielded.

Selector switch features silver contacts and terminals for a clean signal transfer, from the RCA input the signal flows virtually unimpeded to the output, attenuated only by the quality ALPS pot. The sound is clean, detailed & neutral, you hear the source and the amp, not the pre. Fantastic with vintage tube and SS amps, I have been using one of these with Hafler DH200 power amp, Electrocompaniet AW100DMB power amp, EL34SE tube amp, with a regular source level from CD or Phono the performance is excellent, smoother and more holographic than a 2k preamp.

Casing is solid powder coated steel with alloy front face and control knobs.

We can add another set of outputs if needed, this would add $80 to the cost.

Dimensions: 440W x 255D x 50H (not including the knobs or RCA sockets)
