 The Class A Purity preamp below started out to be our Purity linestage before we moved on to having both a Reference and Statement Purity so this unit has a few features from both versions.

 Details about this unit:

 ** Full dual mono power supply located in the bottom of the dual chamber chassis
 ** The outer chassis is more of a shell with a dual chamber cassette that is inserted from the rear.
 ** Jensen input and output balanced transformers
 ** Two pair balanced inputs / Two pair single ended inputs
 ** Two pair balanced outputs / Two pair single ended outputs
 ** ClarityCap ESA 22uF coupling capacitors.
 ** Custom Gold Point stepped attenuator with Bent Audio stepped remote motor (remote volume)
** Silver plated copper signal wire
 ** All RCA connectors will be replaced with Cardas pieces
 ** Cryo treated silver IEC
 ** Cryo treadted silver fuse holders (one per channel)
 ** Seperate dedicated power supply for the remote motor including a dedicated transformer.
 ** High and low output gain switch
 ** And More

 ** The outer chassis constructed of Baltic Birch Ply varying in thickness from 3/4" to 1-1/2" then painted a gloss black
 ** Inner cassette chassis constructed of 1/2" BBP making for 2" thick side panels.
 ** The control knobs are 1-1/2" Solid Bubinga
 ** Chassis was intended for evaluation purpuses so is not what I would call 'perfect' but the circuit is 100% and dead quiet.

 This Purity has been used in our showroom as a reference preamp while we finished up on the production Purity design as shown in the last picture below.

 Original retail cost would have been $13,000
 Selling this unit for $4,250 + shipping.

Fisrt I would like to ask those who may have questions regarding this or any other product if they could post their question in the thread so others can benefit from the responses.

 To answer a question a few questions I have received:

 Q: Are all the inputs transformer coupled
 A: No... Unlike the Purity Reference and Silver Statement, this unit is not set up to have the single ended inputs going through the balanced input transformers.

 Q: What is your warranty on this piece
 A: We are offering a 2 year parts and labor warranty excluding the chassis.

Hi Bill

Thx Brett

Hi Bill,

Can this be built into a dual-purpose 2ch/HT system?

Cheers

What is the output impedence and can it do 240v

 Output impedance:  180 ohms

 Yes - It can be converted to 220/240V

 

Can this be built into a dual-purpose 2ch/HT system?

 I can add a passive HT bypass switch but it would have to located on the back panel. Th eunit would work in HT bypass mode with the unit turned off.
