With poise and control it conveys all the details, the grandeur, the feeling, and the complexity of any piece of music. With precise timing and expert understanding of both the score and the musicians, The Conductor brings forth the music just as it was intended to sound. It handles low key jazz, stadium rock and everything in between. Nothing added, and nothing subtracted, the P30A is the best conductor you will ever meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P30A is our reference preamplifier. We have nicknamed it The Conductor because its job is to control the power amplifier with a signal that is as true to the music as possible. In our view, the preamplifier is the most critical component in a great sounding system, and it is also the hardest to get right. The very low amplitude signals coming from the source are easily corrupted, so in-depth technical know-how and clever engineering are needed to make sure the signal stays the same all the way through the preamplifier. With the P30A we have deployed all our skills in doing just that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, we use single pair FET transistors that have no higher order harmonic distortion. Within any batch of transistors, there will always be slight measurement variations. This might be within the bounds of what is considered normal deviations, but for sensitive electronics like this, that simply isn't good enough. Therefore, Hegel's founder and chief engineer Bent measures and carefully matches those transistors that have the exact same values. Having perfectly matched transistors is of paramount importance to the performance of the preamplifier, and it makes the P30A sound very smooth and natural, without compromising on the details. Furthermore, the internal layout is designed in a way that makes the signal paths within the preamplifier as short as possible. This reduces the possibility of distortion coming from electrical interference. To further reduce distortion, we also minimize the number of electrical components the signal passes through. In the P30A the music signal only passes through two transistors and an ultra-low noise volume attenuator. The P30A also uses Hegel's patented SoundEngine technology. This actively monitors the music signal for corruptions and corrects for intermodulation distortion using a feed forward design. SoundEngine effectively removes distortion in real time as the signal is amplified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll these steps make for a preamplifier that is very quiet and handles the sensitive low amplitude music signal as delicately as possible. Even so, distortion of the signal can still happen, but the P30A has one more feature that takes care of this. The P30A is fully balanced all the way through. This means you have two separate amplifiers, volume controls, and SoundEngine modules per channel. With this design, almost all leftover distortion is canceled out, and what you are left with is a signal that is as close to the original source material as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P30A offers a wide array of inputs and outputs. It features 2 balanced (XLR) and 3 unbalanced (RCA) inputs and a fixed level Home Theatre input that allows you to integrate it into a Home Theatre system. This input can also be configured to act as a normal input. On the other end you have one balanced (XLR) and two unbalanced (RCA) variable outputs that are all active, allowing you to connect several devices at the same time. One of the unbalanced RCA outputs can even be configured to be a fixed volume output. The P30A also has a 3,5 mm IR-direct input and a 12V trigger output connector. When you add it all up you get a highly versatile, extremely quiet, and natural sounding preamplifier that can be the heart of any high-end audio system. You get the P30A - A truly brilliant conductor of all music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemote control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Volume, source, and mute\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x XLR balanced, 3 x RCA unbalanced and Home Theatre inputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x XLR balanced and 2 x RCA unbalanced outputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,5mm IR-direct jack, 3,5 mm jack 12V trigger output\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e More than 130 dB balanced mode\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrosstalk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than -100 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than 0.005 %\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntermodulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than 0.01% (19kHz+20kHz)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\/weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9,6 cm x 43 cm x 30 cm (HxWxD), 7,2 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\/weight US:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.8\" x 17\" x 12\" (HxWxD), 15.9 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hegel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44117786230837,"sku":"P30a","price":10995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/HegelP30aFront.jpg?v=1731106657"},{"product_id":"luxman-cl-38uc-tube-preamplifier","title":"Luxman CL-38uC Tube Preamplifier","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe CL-38uC uses SRPP (Shunt Regulated Push Pull) circuitry for all stages to achieve the highest sound quality possible.A genuine phono equalizer is included, the MC-low and MC-high impedance (gain) inputs each have independent MC transformers and are selectable using the MC impedance lever switch.Tone controls enable the listener to fine tune the sound quality.Refined exterior design and newly added balanced inputs make this vacuum tube control amp a new standard for its generation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLUXMAN's vacuum tube amplifier legacy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the launch of our SQ-5A vacuum tube integrated amplifier in 1961, we have continued making vacuum tube amps without a break.

high-performance separates system—bringing together analogue precision, digital flexibility, and refined circuit design in a single, purpose-built preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"322\" data-end=\"692\"\u003eAt the heart of the RC-1572 MKII is Rotel’s Balanced Design Concept, combining carefully selected components with a low-noise circuit layout. A large in-house manufactured toroidal transformer supplies clean, stable power to all stages, supported by high-quality capacitors that help maintain consistency under dynamic conditions. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"694\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003eThe MKII update introduces a redesigned digital platform built around a 32-bit \/ 384kHz Texas Instruments DAC. This allows the preamplifier to handle high-resolution sources directly via USB, coaxial, and optical inputs, while also supporting MQA playback and Roon integration for modern streaming systems. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1042\" data-end=\"1396\"\u003eAnalogue connectivity is equally comprehensive. The RC-1572 MKII includes balanced XLR and multiple RCA inputs, along with a moving magnet phono stage for turntable integration. Signal routing is handled using relay-based switching rather than IC-based designs, helping preserve signal integrity across all inputs. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1782\"\u003eSystem integration is a key part of the design. Dual RCA and XLR outputs allow for flexible connection to one or more power amplifiers, while a dedicated subwoofer output supports more advanced configurations. Bluetooth with aptX and AAC adds convenient wireless playback, and Ethernet\/RS232 connections enable integration into control systems. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"2073\"\u003eThe front panel layout is clean and functional, with a precision volume control, source selection, and a clear display for system feedback. Features such as signal sensing, fixed volume settings, and tone adjustments allow for further customization without complicating everyday operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2075\" data-end=\"2092\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2075\" data-end=\"2092\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2585\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"18ueozq\" data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2151\"\u003eStereo preamplifier with Rotel Balanced Design Concept\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ydijkf\" data-start=\"2152\" data-end=\"2211\"\u003eCustom toroidal transformer with low-noise power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"m2ylbd\" data-start=\"2212\" data-end=\"2253\"\u003e32-bit \/ 384kHz Texas Instruments DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"a4csgl\" data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2315\"\u003eUSB, coaxial, and optical digital inputs with MQA support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1les689\" data-start=\"2316\" data-end=\"2366\"\u003eRoon Tested for seamless streaming integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1m1t87t\" data-start=\"2367\" data-end=\"2418\"\u003eBalanced (XLR) and multiple RCA analogue inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"yrkday\" data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2448\"\u003eMoving magnet phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1yps9zu\" data-start=\"2449\" data-end=\"2499\"\u003eDual RCA and XLR outputs with subwoofer output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1jb6jgu\" data-start=\"2500\" data-end=\"2539\"\u003eaptX and AAC Bluetooth connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1w18egw\" data-start=\"2540\" data-end=\"2585\"\u003eEthernet and RS232 for system integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2802\"\u003eThe Rotel RC-1572 MKII is built for systems moving into separates—offering the flexibility, control, and connectivity needed to bring together both analogue and digital sources in a cohesive, well-engineered design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Rotel","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":45116251373621,"sku":"RC1572MKII-Black","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":45116251406389,"sku":"RC1572MKII-Silver","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/Rotel_RC1572_MK_II_Black.jpg?v=1776032181"}],"url":"https:\/\/hificentre.com\/collections\/preamplifiers\/phono-preamplifiers+gold-note.oembed","provider":"Hi-Fi Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
