CLEARANCE
Response Audio / Bella EXtreme has been working on some large ventures under the radar the past year.
 We now need to move a lot of equipment to make room for these new, exciting ventures.
This is your chance to save on some of our most popular products.

Antique Sound Labs
Vacuum Tube Preamplifiers

Below you will find most of Antique Sound Labs' offerings in preamplification. Keep in mind that any of the active units can be custom modified to match the sonic flavor you desire for a power amplifier you may already own or to match one of our highly modified ASL power amplifiers such as the Tulip 2A3 SET, Monsoon 100 watt mono blocs or Hurricanes 200DT 200 watt mono bloc units as well as any of our Statement Series Jolida 200 watt mono blocs

 
NEW!!!   FLORA DT

New!
Unique very high-resolution purist design. Resistor free signal path.
Autoformers/switch controlled voltage divider volume setting.
Triode tube gain stage with constant current power supply.
Very precise transformer coupled output stage.
Extremely coherent and fluid sound with superb dynamics and detail.
Compares easily to a few top preamplifiers anywhere.

TWIN HEAD MK II
 
The Twin Head MK II is ASL's flagship remote controlled tube preamplifier with a headphone output. 2A3 triode tubes, OTL/Transformer outputs and all tube external power supply.
 
Custom modifications can also be developed for this unit based on your particular sonic needs and desires to match any one of our modified ASL amplifiers or any unit you may currently own. Please feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities.
 
A fully, custom modified version of the preamplifier will soon be available, January 2005, as we are currently in the process of developing this upgrade.

MG HEAD DT/OTL 32

New! OTL headphone amplifier with excellent preamplifier facilities.
High voltage output optimized for AKG K1000 HEADPHONES.

New! Now includes carved wooden remote control transmitter

Stock unit $800.00 USD

Response Audio Reference Version 
 A new Platinum series modification has been developed for this unit. We have taken this unit to the extreme to the point of holding it's own when driving our EXtreme Hurricane or Monsoon amplifiers as well as any amplifier you may choose to pair it up with.  The Platinum OTL32 utilizes a simply preamp gain circuit and is an excellent choice for those looking for an open, airy presentation at a very affordable price.

Response Audio Platinum Series
includes shipping to the lower 48

Reference Series Details

  • One brand new ASL MG-Head DT/OTL 32 preamp

  • All signal path Coupling capacitors replaced with SoniCap Platinum Teflon Reference Grade capacitors (both preamp and headphone circuitry)

  • Electrolytic capacitors in the headphone circuit are replaced with higher quality pieces that offer a lower ESR as well as SoniCap Gen 1 film capacitors. (when required)

  • Critical resistors replaced with Dale/Vishay 1 watt, 1% metal film resistors. These will replace the inexpensive 1/2 watt pieces in the preamp now. Going with a larger physical size and wattage provides a quieter presentation for better low level resolution and transparency.

  • Signal tube cathode resistors replaced with high quality Dale Vishay units.

  • Elna Cerafine capacitors used at signal tube cathode bypass.

  • Electrolytic power supply capacitors replaced with high quality pieces with lower ESR (resistance).

  • All internal signal path wiring replaced with our 22 awg copper wiring or 22 awg silver plated copper.

  • All RCA input and output jacks replaced with much better quality gold plated pieces. (optional-call for pricing)

  • Where ever possible, all circuit board copper tracing will be eliminated with direct, point-to-point wiring.

  • Ground wiring layout is redone to optimize a low background noise and lower noisefloor.

  •  One pair of Bybee Quantum Purifiers installed at the signal input or signal output.

  • Sonically, the OTL 32 offers a refined, open presentation with an extended, airy upper end.

Price: $1,525 brand new units. (includes shipping)
