Description ATC CA2
"…if you want to hear the important musical detail presented in a coherent, clear-cut fashion this pairing has remarkably little competition in the two box arena. There are a few integrated amps which give them a run for their money in one respect or another but nothing comes to mind which seems like a better overall package."
Jason Kennedy Hi Fi Plus No75
"Transparent, honest and revealing presentation; sturdy build; simple to use"

Details:
Hand built in the UK with ultra low noise discrete circuits, the ATC CA2 Pre Amplifier features a new precision machined 12mm (½ inch) brushed aluminium front plate, with IGUS® ultra smooth bush bearings for both rotary controls. In addition, the ATC CA2 Pre Amplifier now has an on-board RIAA close cartridge matching phono board, gain controlled stereo sub out, tape and headphone outputs.
The ATC CA2 Pre Amplifier features an improved Printed Circuit board layout and production engineering, has resulted in a further substantial reduction in the previously low noise levels. Capable of driving cables up to 50 meters in length, makes it an ideal choice for active systems, or where power amplifiers are concealed for aesthetic reasons.
Circuitry has been designed specifically to avoid phase distorting ICs in the signal path, making full use of discrete component gain blocks. With separate power supplies for each channel, the ATC CA2 Pre Amplifier delivers ultra low noise, wide bandwidth and low distortion. With an all function remote, the ATC CA2 Pre Amplifier offers six line level unbalanced RCA inputs, with main outputs featuring XLR unbalanced and RCA phono
