Voorversterker

A preamplifier is at the center of a fine music system. The HP-100 recovers all the artistry and emotion embedded in great recorded musical performances and delivers it with a live and tactile quality. It communicates not only the details and dynamics of music, but also its passion, poetry, grace, grit, hope, daring, and timelessness.
Reflecting our philosophy of fidelity to the art, the HP-100 will ably enhance any high quality music system. It is an enduring composition and the overture to a symphony of fine components.
