"Unique among audio components are those whose innards are as attractive
as the exterior trappings…The Vacuum Tube Preamplifier -performs
with all the panache of -Sunfire's sturdy power amplifiers; the tradition
of quality sound is readily apparent." Home Theater
Savvy audio enthusiasts know that tubes can make your music sound magical.
That's why Bob Carver designed the Sunfire Classic Vacuum Tube Control
Center. It can bring life and excitement to a dull and overly processed
system and is a perfect match for either of our Tracking Downconverter
stereo amplifiers.
Bob has always been a huge fan of vacuum tube designs, and this product
is true to his passion. From the world-renowned $25,000 Carver Silver
7 amplifiers, named "Amp of the Decade" by Harry Pearson of
The Absolute Sound, to this Sunfire Tube Control center, Bob's expertise
in tube design provides for an emotionally exciting and musically satisfying
product.
At the heart of the Vacuum Tube -Control center is a high-performance
-preamplifier with extremely low noise and distortion, wide dynamic range
and a high degree of switching flexibility including six component inputs
and both balanced and unbalanced outputs.
For those who remain true to vinyl, an optional vacuum tube phono board
may be added for precise RIAA phono equalization of moving magnet and
moving coil cartridges.
The Vacuum Tube Control Center will provide remarkable, 3-dimensional
realism, with a sumptuous sonic image that can extend beyond the loudspeakers
in both breadth and depth.
Be prepared to fall in love with your music all over again.
