NuPrime AMG PRA
NuPrime AMG PRA
Nuprime AMG PRA is the latest addition to the family and one of Nuprime's finest advances. A stripped-down and clean preamp without built-in DAC, where the focus is on gentle handling of the music signal. We highly recommend dual AMG STA power stages to not hold back the reproduction, also the Evolution One and is an excellent partner to this pre stage.
Something new and unusual on the market is tonal adjustment in 4 steps to match your taste and electronics. It is not a traditional tone control and does not affect sound quality.
The AMG PRA went beyond being a transparent preamp with 1M Ohm input impedance and the best analog source inputs. A user-selectable 4 stage “Active Low Frequency and Harmonic Gain” control gave it distinctive characteristics to enhance the speaker performance, a world-first in preamp design.
The AMG series front panel embodies its spirit. It is milled from a 15mm hardened aerospace aluminum alloy using a four-axis CNC machine with a diamond cutter through a 48 steps process. Design elements such as the 3D “floating” logo, the curved surface around the front panel switch, and diamond-cut edge bring the quality of ultra-high-end audio products to the affordable range of the AMG series.
The design goal for AMG PRA was to deliver a transparent sounding analog preamp with its distinctive characteristics. Several new design concepts were developed and used in the AMG-PRE besides 1MΩ input impedance to achieve the best analog inputs.
Users of smallish speakers would often detect a distinct drop in bass response with some audio tracks. Instead of a simple "Bass Boost" function that lifts a targeted low-frequency band, a user-selectable 4 stage "Active Low Frequency and Harmonic Gain" control compensates for the lack of bass presence. It achieves some bass extension and a more natural roll-off.
Additional features such as the 2 stage gain control and invertible phase control increase the compatibility of the AMG-PRA with other power amplifiers.
Technical Details
The layout of the AMG-PRA takes excellent care in isolating the sensitive audio signals from the power circuitry. The power circuitry comprising of a star topology power and ground layers is built on one board while a separate board houses the pre-amplification circuit. An isolation layer separates these two boards, which further minimizes interference. The effect is a highly transparent sound that is natural and not over etched.
