The Quad Artera Pre Amplifier is available for demonstration in our Hull store by request.

The Artera Pre is the dedicated preamplifier for the Quad Artera series, an all-analogue construction featuring an MM/MC phono stage, three additional RCA inputs and an XLR stereo input. With short signal paths, the analogue signal remains pure throughout with Class A amplification output stage to the power amp. The preamplifier creates a transparent sound with close fidelity to the original source.
