Remton Audio Launches Limited Edition 481 Tube Phono Preamplifier Featuring Tesla NOS Resistors
Czech audio equipment manufacturer Remton Audio has unveiled its latest offering, the Remton 481 tube phono preamplifier. This exclusive piece is set to be highly sought after, with production limited to just thirty units. The scarcity stems from the use of New Old Stock (NOS) Tesla resistors, renowned for their impeccable performance and minimal deviation of only 0.25 dB across a wide frequency range from 20 Hz to 50 kHz.
The Remton 481 builds upon the legacy of the flagship V-LCR model, streamlining its design by omitting the LCR system for RIAA correction. This refinement ensures that audiophiles receive a purer, more focused sound without compromising on the high-end performance expected from Remton’s top-tier products. Available in both black and silver finishes, the 481 caters to a variety of aesthetic preferences while maintaining its sophisticated presence.
Technical prowess is at the heart of the Remton 481. The precise matching of the NOS Tesla resistors guarantees exceptional tonal accuracy and consistency, delivering a listening experience that is both detailed and immersive. For vinyl enthusiasts, the 481 offers tailored versions to match cartridge types: the Moving Magnet (MM) version is priced just under €3,200, while the Moving Coil (MC) variant, featuring built-in step-up transformers at the input, is available for just under €4,200.
Positioned between Remton’s V-383 and V-LCR models in terms of pricing, the 481 stands out as a premium option for those seeking unparalleled audio fidelity. Its limited availability and meticulous construction make it a coveted addition to any high-end audio setup, promising to elevate the vinyl playback experience to new heights.
The Remton 481 is a testament to Remton Audio’s commitment to excellence, blending vintage components with modern engineering to create a phono preamplifier that truly resonates with discerning listeners.
