Bill Baker · « **on:** 14 Aug 2010, 01:08 am »

With the release of the new Purity Audio Design "Purity One" - "Purity Reference" and "Purity Silver Statement", we wanted to offer you a chance to grab the new Purity "Basis Pre" at an introductory price. Many changes have come about for the Basis including remote volume, relay based source selection with LED indication, full two piece "Split Chassis" design made of 100% acrylic with laser engraved front and rear panels and more. All Purity Audio Design products are available for worldwide sales.

"We are taking pre "Show Special" orders on the Basis Pre at only $1,850 and will still include a pair of Clarity Labs Harvest II .75M interconnect cables. One of our dealers has already fallen in love with this piece when it was at it's $3,295 retail price point"

Going to RMAF will be four Purity Audio Design linestages, all in their production form. I will have pictures of production units next week and will post them here when ready.

The Silver Statement weighs in at about 75 lbs. ready to ship with others ranging from 25-50 lbs. We don't want to ship or bring any product back from the show.

We will be offering these for sale at the show and wanted to give Audio Circle members the first option to grab one. I will update a bit later with pricing.

Available will be the following:

Purity Silver Statement -
Purity Reference -
Purity One - (will be equipped with transformer coupled balanced output option)
Purity Basis Pre:

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about these products.

Throughout September, we will be offering these crossovers with the acrylic top and bottom panels (clear or color) and bi-amp capability at no additional charge. We will also offer any veneer we have in stock at no additional charge. Interested parties can Email or PM for available veneers.

Any more photos of this unit and can it have balanced outs?

Bill Baker · « **Reply #8 on:** 6 Sep 2010, 02:04 am »

Which unit? The Basis or One?

The Purity One is available with balanced outputs but not the Basis Pre.

Big Red Machine · « **Reply #9 on:** 6 Sep 2010, 02:07 am »

One. The photos of that cherry unit are limiting. I'd like to see more of it for size, fit, finish, layout.

Bill Baker · « **Reply #10 on:** 6 Sep 2010, 02:30 am »

I will have to get further pictures for you as I have been receiving quite a few inquiries on this one. Here is a picture that helps a bit in regard to size (17" W x 15" D x 5.5" H). Sorry about the quality. It was on my cell phone. For the balanced outputs, I will have to install the transformers as well as new, larger coupling capacitors which will be Clarity ESA. Black or silver knobs... your choice. The bottom panel is clear acrylic.

The balanced output would be $200 extra ($300 regular).

Everything else is as stated on the One web page. We had to have custom panels engraved for this one-off chassis. There are no indicators (numbers) for the input selected engraved on the unit.

I'll be in need of a balanced pre in another week so I'm shopping. The new price for these in non-one-off form will be? You can PM/email me that if you're not ready to announce yet. With the show coming up, your turnaround time would be how long on a ground up unit?

Bill Baker · « **Reply #12 on:** 10 Sep 2010, 10:25 pm »

Next week we will have final production pictures of the Basis Pre as well as all the Purity Audio Design preamplifiers. You will also never see prices like this again, we are only offering them at this price right now so you can have a great sounding preamp for minimal investment.

Here is a quick shot of a Basis under contruction for a customer just to give you an idea of the visual appearance.

Purity Audio Design will have the Purity "Basis Pre 1.1" in the Von Schweikert Audio room at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Room 509. Von Schweikert Audio will be debuting their new VR-33 loudspeaker in this room.

Have a great time and don't forget to take pictures.

Bill Baker · « **Reply #15 on:** 12 Sep 2010, 02:27 am »

Some better pictures for you.

Bill Baker · « **Reply #16 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 01:12 am »

Thanks Mariusz,
I don't know how much time I will have to run around as I will be busy in our own room. I will most certainly make it down the hall to the VR33 room as well as a few other room I have interest in hearing and some people I need to meet! I will be taking lots of pictures of the rooms our Purity preamplifiers are in.

When are you firming up your everyday prices?

Bill Baker · « **Reply #18 on:** 16 Sep 2010, 12:32 am »

A lot of people have been asking to see the Purity One in the new chassis. Here is a quik look at it in the full acrylic chassis. This is only a quick front shot with further photos coming soon. As you may notice, it is housed in the same chassis as the Purity Reference which is also the top chassis (analog circuit) of the Silver Statement.

They look great. Generally we get better components and power supplies as we move up? But are the designs similar across the 3?
