Hegel P30A Black

Hegel P30A

The P30 is the finest preamp Hegel has ever designed. With its patented technology and hand-tuned components, the P30 is a staunch opponent in the race for the best preamp in the world. Regardless of the price. Despite what many HiFi fans believe, preamps are actually one of the most difficult audio components to design. At the same time it is one of the most important components of a good sounding system.

The reason for this is that the signal strength entering the preamplifier is very low and therefore very susceptible to high frequency noise and distortion elements. The most critical phase in the preamp is the volume control and in the P30 this is a masterpiece. The physical volume control is only used to describe the desired volume output level for the array of gigahertz MOS transistors. These pass the music signal through a network of high quality resistors that reduce the signal level.
