Welcome to the wonderful world of vacuum tube audio!
Vacuum tube audio components can add a life to music that only the most
expensive solid-state gear can match. The Elliott Studio Arts 66-001p stereo
preamplifier was designed to give many years of musical satisfaction and add fun
to your listening experience. Although not inexpensive the 66-001p was designed
for the ‘real-world’ music lover and is a high value in performance and no-
nonsense design.
The 66-001p is custom designed and hand-built. It features point-to-point
circuitry, hand matched high-temperature components and wiring, and custom
wound output transformers. The casework is heavy gauge steel. The aluminum
circuit panel floats on nitrile dampeners to minimize microphonics. The entire
circuit panel provides a low-impedance ground plane for ultra low noise. The line
stage runs in ‘parallel feed’ mode and utilizes local feedback to stabilize gain and
lower distortion. The phono stage uses a FET / Triode cascode for high gain and
low noise. Extensive capacitive bypassing at every amplification stage ensures
powerful dynamic sound. The separate power supply is overbuilt utilizing
computer-grade filter capacitors and a choke for an ultra-clea
n and ‘stiff’
reservoir. Both the high voltage for tubes and the filament supply is regulated.
The AC input has RFI filtering and surge limiting.
Functional features include balance control, mono and mute switch, along with
the volume and source select.
There is a ¼” stereo headphone jack for private
listening, suitable for low to medium impedance headphones.
Please be aware that this is tube preamp,
it gets hot and has high voltage
potentials inside that can be hazardous to your health
. Please refer all service to
a qualified technician; we will gladly supply full schematic documentation and
replacement parts upon request.
You are qualified to replace the tubes and fuse. Please carefully follow the
procedures outlined below so you don’t cause harm to yourself or the preamp.
Placement and hookup of your shiny new preamp
Place the preamp on a level non-resonant surface with plenty of ventilation
above and below. The power supply umbilical is 6 feet long, make sure to locate
the power supply well away f
rom the preamp and it’s sensitive input circuitry. It
also should live on a level non-resonant surface with plenty of ventilation.
Using the provided power umbilical, connect the preamp to the power supply.
The cable has a male 4-pin XLR on one end and a female on the other. The male
plugs into the power supply and the female plugs into the preamp. The AC cable
is a shielded IEC type; plug into the IEC socket on the back panel of the power
supply. Since the preamp has built in RFI filtering it is not necessary to plug into
any additional filtered power strips or conditioners, but feel free to experiment.
