The Fet Valve EC Preamplifier is our best enhanced capability design (read the new review in the Sept/Oct 1997 issue of The $ensible Sound).

  • Built-in very high quality buffered headphone amplifier.
  • Built-in Fet Valve Phono or Fet Valve Bridge circuits are available as an extra-cost option.
  • All gold contact push-button switches and jacks for high reliability and best sonic quality.
  • Silky smooth tone controls that switch completely out of circuit when not used.
  • Switchable external processor loop with dedicated EPL input and output jacks - your connection to get the best out of a home theater surround sound system without compromising true high fidelity audio performance.
  • Dual tape monitor loops to allow tape-to-tape monitoring and dubbing.
  • Switchable high-low filter to tame the grit and boom from poorly recorded or noisy sources.
  • Mute (low gain) switch to allow better volume control use with high efficiency speakers and high gain amplifiers.
  • Left-right-mono-stereo switching to get mono audio sources (such as TV and older video movies) to both left and right channels and to quiet noisy FM broadcasts and old records.
  • 28 gold plated input and output jacks including two sets of audio outputs, two sets of tape outputs, and EPL inputs and outputs. Enough for everything!
  • 3 switched and fused AC outlets - when you shut down the preamp, it turns off your accessories.
  • High inrush current lighted power switch to allow up to 7 amps of reliable accessory switching with turn on surge capability.
  • 8 selectable sets of audio inputs for every possible source. We provide connections for CD, Tuner, VCR (TV), Spare 1, Spare 2, Tape 1, Tape 2, and Special (Phono if so optioned).
  • Reliable fiberglass selector switch that grounds unused sources (except tape) for low cross-talk.
  • Precision stepped volume and balance controls for quiet and reliable exact channel balance and repeatable settings.
  • Easy to read black anodized faceplate with silver lettering and a rugged and electronically quiet AVA designed chassis, 17"wide, 11.5"deep, 3.5"high, 18 pounds.
