Absoluta TALIA

The Absoluta Talia is a stereo hybrid preamp with tube operation and bipolar transistors. The line stage does not make use of any coupling capacitors in the signal path, although it relies on vacuum tubes. This arrangement avoids signal degradation and allows a very large bandwidth at both ends.
