Tautoro Preamplifier

The Plinius Tautoro Preamplifier takes key points from the classic Plinius design to bridge the gap from our premium power amplifiers, to our source CD player and phono preamplifier.

With the Popularity of the SA-Reference and SA-103 Class A power amplifiers, we have seen an increasing demand for systems that reproduce music without compromise.

This demand has lead Plinius to develop a preamplifier that will sit with these power amps and perform in a system that will deliver the highest quality sound from source to speakers.

A comprehensive array of inputs and outputs allows for balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connection to the five line inputs, home theatre bypass loop and dual outputs for bi-amping or multi-room installations.  There is also an optional phono input based on the Plinius Koru that can be added in place of one line input.

With a host of features including individual source selection, headphojne output, line level source output for archiving and remotw trigger in/out for intergration into a semi automated system, the Tautoro delivers function and performance in true Plinius style.

M8 Preamplifier

The Plinius M8 Preamplifier utilises a new chassis and circut topology resulting in a very competitively priced control unit capable of state of the art performance.

The power supply has been developed to provide an extremely low impedance, allowing the audio circutry to deliver it's best.

The only visible contro on the M8 is the rotary volume knob with all other functions driven from the distinctive remote and indicated on the front panel display.

Several aspects of previous Plinius preamplifier havce been continued in the M8, including low noise, low distortion J FET input circutry and the very best of discrete componentry.

The Plinius M8 will allow the connection of up to five source components including both balanced and single ended connection for CD.  A processor loop allows integration with a home theatre system.  Balanced output facilities are available for those requiring this standard of connection to a power amplifier.

The chassis has been constructed from robust materials which include a forged and anodised fascia of gratifying solidity.

Koru Phono Preamplifier

The Plinius Koru Phono Preamplifier is presented in the Ross Stevens inspired curved chassis, with a slight twist.  The chassis is actually two in one, allowing physical seperation of the power supply and amplification circutry.

The power supply has received very detailed attention and boasts a virtual battery approach with over 100,000 micro Farads of capacitance and a very sophisicated 2 stage regulation.  This ensures the lowest impedance and consequently extreme accuracy of power delivery to the amplification stages.

The amplification and equalisation ciructry is specific to the new Phon Preamplifier and uses the latest components ensuring accuracy and longevity.  Low output moving coil cartridges as well as higher output moving magnet types can be used and there is a full range or user adjustments available on the rear panel.

Both single ended and balanced output signals are catered for and with passive high frequency and active low frequency equilisation the Plinius Koru Phono Preamplifier will maintain stability and finesse under the most demanding conditions.

Musically, it is more revealing - details and images seem to float and the depth and ambient retrieval is a revelation.  the Koru is set to becom a classic and will be a worthy successor to the mighty Jarrah.
