Japanese company Phasemation has released the hybrid preamplifier Phasemation CM-1500. The device is equipped with a patented “Hybrid Passive Attenuator” volume control and offers high input impedance and low output impedance – which guarantees perfect matching with other components of the signal path.

The second generation of BRAMA audio equipment from Vinnie Rossi offers significant improvements in both the design of the devices and their sound quality. In total, three devices were released in the line - a preamplifier, a monoblock power amplifier and an integrated amplifier. All devices are built using a fully balanced dual mono input-to-output architecture and are equipped with only XLR commutation.

The Japanese brand Onkyo presented a new series stereo equipment at the CES 2025 exhibition - the Onkyo Icon P-80 network preamplifier, the Onkyo Icon M-80 power amplifier and the Onkyo Icon A-50 streaming integrated amplifier.

Primare SC15 Prisma MK2 from the famous Swedish company combines several devices at once - a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a streamer (network player), and a preamplifier. "Swiss knife" solutions for sound are not always ideal - well, let's check the talents of this universal component during testing.

Nagry has introduced a new Reference Preamp, of the top series. The flagship model of the famous High End equipment manufacturer promises incredible sound quality.

Dividing amplification circuits into a preamplifier and a power amplifier is one of the main cornerstones of High End audio. Such installations offer the highest possible quality due to the isolation of critical signal transmission circuits and the use of independent power supplies - but they also conceal a lot of pitfalls and possible errors in the pairing of components. In this article, we will try to highlight the main critical points of such a selection of equipment and highlight the most important specifications of amplification equipment that you should pay attention to when choosing.
