RP-5 v2 Tube Preamplifier

Free Shipping! * The RP-5 was the first preamplifier based on our groundbreaking new RP-X platform. Now the RP-5 v2 builds upon that award winning heritage with world-class technology borrowed from the RP-7, RP-9, RH-5, and Triton II. The new RP-5 v2 improves both sound quality and overall performance well beyond that of the original. The new volume control circuit now has the same refinement as the RP-7 and RP-9 with 0.5dB steps for more precise control and a lower noise floor. The headphone circuit incorporates technology from the RH-5, and with both improved sound and power, it will get the best performance from even the most difficult to drive headphones.The phono stage in the RP-5 v2 is now directly derived from our Triton II dedicated phono preamp.
