Overview
The heart and soul of high quality audio amplification begins with the pre-amplifier. The AT1000 valve pre-amplifier offers you 6 input switching options - including MP3, through an easily accessed input connector on the front facia. But more than that, the AT1000 also boasts a dedicated single-ended class A headphone amplifier, for use with either 3.5mm or 6.4mm stereo jacks, offering high quality personal listening. The quality electronics are housed in distinctively designed aluminium casework, with a 6mm-thick front facia and anodised finishes.
