PS Audio Stellar Gold Preamplifier

The Stellar Gold preamplifier is available for demonstartion in our Hull Store by request

At the heart of the Stellar Gold Preamplifier lies Class A pure analog amplification. This design choice ensures the highest quality sound reproduction, characterized by its natural warmth and detail. The JFET and BJT discrete architecture further enhances the Stellar Gold Preamplifier's performance, providing a robust and dynamic audio output that captures every nuance of your favorite tracks.

Balanced and Precise

The Stellar Gold Preamplifier is fully balanced from input to output, an essential feature for reducing noise and preserving signal integrity. This commitment to balance is evident in its connectivity options, which include 4x RCA single-ended inputs and 4 XLR balanced inputs, as well as 2 XLR balanced outputs and 2 RCA single-ended outputs per channel. This extensive array of inputs and outputs ensures seamless integration into any audio setup.

Purist Audio Components

Only the finest components are used throughout the Stellar Gold Preamplifier, adhering to a philosophy of purist audio components. The low global feedback design minimizes distortion, while the high slew rate amplification stage and near perfect transient response deliver pristine audio clarity. The Stellar Gold Preamplifier’s extreme frequency limits, ranging from near DC to 200kHz, guarantee a wide and detailed soundstage.

Power and Precision

The Stellar Gold Preamplifier's oversized power supply and multiple stage regulation provide the necessary power and stability to maintain peak performance under any conditions. Volume and balance are controlled by a precision stepped attenuation system, allowing for precise adjustments and maintaining audio fidelity.

A Designer's Touch

Darren Myers' involvement in the Stellar Gold Preamplifier's design is a mark of quality and innovation. His expertise ensures that every aspect of the Stellar Gold Preamplifier, from its circuitry to its component selection, meets the highest standards of audio excellence.
