A preamplifier is the multi-tasking workhorse bringing precision, power, musicality, refinement and control in one package. Tom Frantzen of Stereo.de recently put the Accustic Arts PREAMP V through its paces. Read an excerpt from his review below and check out the full review here.
“Pathway to Happiness… The new model is a thoroughbred transistor preamplifier, looking as if it was milled from a solid block of aluminum, and in fully balanced Class A circuit technology… In terms of sound, the Accustic Arts PREAMP V… can be classified in the “Olympus”… one of the best preamps on this planet… more “grip” and bite, without losing a single trace of timbre, breathtaking temperament or flow… the performance became even more transparent, yet remained full-bodied and bursting with juice and power… The only conclusion we can draw from this extremely impressive preamplifier is that the music enjoyment with this device is simply out of this world – you just don‘t want to stop. An unmistakable sign of the highest sound quality: CDs and records of several editors are piling up.”
