SONIC ART "THE WHISPER" JARRAH FACED PASSIVE PREAMPLIFIER

SONIC ART ‘THE WHISPER’ PASSIVE PREAMPLIFIER

‘The WHISPER’ is a hand made in Australia passive preamplifier that features 3 RCA inputs and matching 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 solid Jarrah over an alloy front face and custom machined alloy control knobs.

Dimensions: 440W x 267D x 50H (not including the knobs or RCA sockets)
