LINE
stereo preamplifier

Clarinet Audio Design's LINE is a meticulously crafted, two-stage line-level input stereo preamplifier featuring the renowned 12AY7 / 6072 vacuum tubes. With a precisely calculated gain of 23 dB, it pairs seamlessly with our PHONO preamplifier and offers universal compatibility with any high-end line-level output source, including CD players, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), tape decks, and tuners.

​

Every individual component contributes to the unique sonic identity of the audio signal. For this reason, we completely bypass mass-produced elements in favor of proprietary, in-house manufactured parts and advanced materials. We utilize premium silver and pure point-to-point hand wiring to deliver a transparent, expansive soundstage that faithfully captures the emotional essence of recorded music.

​

Our commitment to absolute quality dictates that we manufacture all sound-critical components entirely in-house. To ensure uncompromised, lifelike sound reproduction, every device undergoes rigorous evaluation and fine-tuning in close collaboration with the musicians involved in the original recordings.
