Advance Paris X-P700 Classic Preamplifier

RRP - $2499 The affordable high-end preamp Succeeding the X-P500, the X-P700 offers technical refinements rarely encountered in this range: dual mono design and the most direct signal processing possible (Direct Path). Supreme refinement, it is possible to choose between two output schemes: the class A mode using bipolars in double cascade assembly, close to a tube gradient, and the discrete mode, based on a JFet differential and current mirror in the bipolar, polarized in class AB, more traditional. Its design is very straightforward and refined, a single rotary knob is present with a push button to validate the choices: access to inputs, volume adjustment, bass and treble adjustment (with bypass option), balance and loudness compensation selection. All adjustments are also available from the supplied remote control. The X-P700 is versatile and flexible: nine analog inputs, one of which is balanced, and one MM/MC phono input. Digital inputs: two optical, one coaxial, one USB-B (Xmos)
