The LA4 Pre-Amplifier

A line Pre-amplifier of outstanding quality and facilities.

Following on the success of our LA3 pre-amp we have listened to your comments and made several changes. These include: Rear connections, Lots of inputs. High and low outputs to match almost any power amp. Remote control. DC heaters for even quieter background.
We have also used the 1941 older type 6SN7 double triode as we feel these have a more fluid sound, and a reputation for a very long life. Probably the best sounding pre-amp valve ever!

Anyone thinking of buying a pre-amp should read the independent lab report on the LA4 in Hi Fi News July 2006. This includes …

“The LA4 offers a ruler flat response to 20 kHz and is only -0.5dB down at 100 kHz…distortion hits an all time low of 0.0009%...the low 100 ohm output impedance ensures it will drive both solid state and valve power amps with ease.”
