Deluxe Passive Pre

This is our top line passive pre which will compete with any passive out there. Using a pair of costly transformer attenuators insures a minimum of signal loss. The transformers are connected to the Swiss made Gold Elma rotary switch using Teflon coated Copper wire. All other wiring utilizes our exclusive super conducting Silver Alloy for the ultimate in signal integrity.

The standard unit features two Rca or XLR inputs and one output. The front toggle switch allows the user to choose inputs. It is also available in other configurations. Please contact for specific quotes. It features a switch which allows the user to choose between the standard signal or a 6db gain. This is a very useful feature when using low powered amps. The extra gain really helps.

The sound is as pristine as you can get. Here are a few unedited comment from customers:

Hi Tom,
I went home for lunch today and received a pleasant and unexpected surprise - my passive pre had arrived. I only had a half hour or so to listen to it, but right out of the box it annihilated my well-reviewed, imported TVC I had in my living room system.
I'm going to try it in my headphone system tonight, and if it pans out there, you'll probably get an order for another one.
This is a wonderful preamp, Tom. I would pit it against any passive pre out there.
Best regards,
Rob

Hey,
My passive pre sounds real, real good.  It goes well with my nuforce
 ref se v2.  No brightness as you suggested.  Doesn't sound like a passive
 as there is lots of dynamics and plenty o bass.

Thanks,
Ron
 

The care that goes into making a pair of these is evident in the details and quality of materials being used. we have isolated every sound quality by many, many, hours of critical listening. From the solder, to the Rca connectors, to the wire being used, we know exactly what each element brings to the sonic table. It is by careful mixing of each harmonic ingredient that Aural Thrills Audio has arrived at this design.

  Transformers have been carefully design to provide smoothest transaction between each step to feel like a conventional smooth type volume control. We guarantee each unit will have less than 0.5% error in tracking to outperform even those 0.5% metal film resistor type stepped attenuator.
