Some of the finest products built in America & Europe, combined with the finest service and know how and expert setup from Electrical power to the finest Audio stands, electronics speakers turntables and streaming. We stock, install and configure Roon and MQA.
We are offering a T+A Elektroakustic P-10V2 Pre-Amplifier for sale.
This is the finest Pre-Amplifier ever made by T+A.
This matches very well with the T+A M10 Mono Blocks we have for sale.


Product Details

T+A Made a limited edition all tube high performance tube pre-amplifier as an anniversary edition.

We have a Matching A-3000 in Titanium finish also at a sale price of $10995.00

We also have a pair of T+A M10 Monoblock Demo Amps for $29,500

The
P 10-2 valve pre-amplifier is the most sophisticated unit in our series
of high-end two-channel analogue equipment. Ist no-compromise
construction and the equally uncompromising sophistication of its
circuit design elevate this pre-amplifier to the very highest level.
Even from the outside, the arrangement of the valves clearly indicates
the amplifier’s totally symmetrical double mono layout. The signal paths
are absolutely identical, as is the sound quality. The interior of the
machine (see right page) confirms this beyond all doubt.

Circuit concept
The
P 10-2’s five valves per channel represent an extraordinary level of
complexity. Why such complication? The answer is simple: we were not
prepared to accept the quality of sound which was available in the
1950’s. Modern highresolution source devices, with their unprecedented
bandwidth, dynamic characteristics and minimal harmonic distortion, are
far more demanding than their predecessors. If we insist on maintaining
the very highest standards in terms of sound quality and musicality, and
if the pre-amplifier is not to become the limiting factor in the
reproduction chain as far as sound quality is concerned, then simplistic
electronic concepts are no longer acceptable. All the amplifying stages
of the P 10-2 take the form of differential cascode amplifiers. This
circuit design is responsible for the machine’s extremely broad
frequency bandwidth and excellent linearity. The amplifier valves are
the “LPS” version (Long Plate / Spiral Filament) of the 12AX7, whose
outstanding feature is particularly low distortion. The potential sound
quality of these valves has already been proved in the D 10-2 and the
front end of the V 10-2. In fact, the linearity and quality of the P
10-2’s amplification stages are so high that we decided against
including any form of negative feedback. Even though the classic
negative feedback is entirely absent, the P 10-2’s total harmonic
distortion and frequency linearity values are excellent. The output
stage is of fully symmetrical construction, and features both
asymmetrical (Cinch) and symmetrical (XLR) signals. The excellent ECC99
high-current triode valve has proved its worth in the D 10-2, and we
decided to use the same component for the P 10-2 as it enables us to
achieve outstandingly low output impedances. The result is that it can
drive active loudspeakers or output stages without any problem, even
where long cables are required.

steel, machined aluminium and acrylic Case feet with integral shock
absorbers Low-impedance Cinch and XLR outputs for professional-standard

superb PHE-MC and PHE-MM phono modules. Input stage with minimal-length
signal paths and galvanic all-pole isolation of source devices High-End
gold-plated sockets made of solid brass.

All-pole input section
When
the inputs are switched on the P 10-2, “all poles” are switched - i.e.
the earth connection of the source device is switched in addition to the
signal conductor. This is very complex to implement, but ensures that
all source devices are galvanically isolated.

At any one time only
a single device - the one currently selected for listening – is
connected to the amplifier. In conventional Hi-Fi systems earth currents
are free to wander around between the individual components, and these
can have a significant adverse effect on sound quality. The problem is
solved completely by the allpole input selection system adopted for the
T+A P 10-2. As with the V 10-2, the input switch is based on an
extremely solid mechanical angular rotation device featuring a zero-wear
opto-electronic sensor. This control, with its slop-free operation and
accurate magnetic detents, gives a feeling of incredible solidity and
precision.

Floating ground concept
Balancing and interference
currents, some of them significant, flow between the earth connections
of Hi-Fi devices. These currents can result in unwanted dips in voltage
at the connecting leads, and interference potential at the amplifier’s
input, either of which can have a perceptible adverse effect on the
sound.We were determined to eliminate these unwanted effects in the P
10-2, and have adopted a solution which is entirely new in the field of
audio equipment. The low-impedance earth connection can be isolated at
the amplifier’s inputs, and we employ differential amplifiers in the P
10-2’s input instead of a conventional earth-related amplification
circuit. This technology is used in ultra-sensitive laboratory measuring
equipment, where it is known as a “floating ground” circuit. The
important factor with this type of circuit is that the input stage must
be able to cope well with high common mode voltages. However, this is
precisely the point where, by their very nature, valves have an
advantage over semi-conductors. Valves operate at high voltages - more
than ten times higher than those used with transistors - and this makes
them ideally suited to this purpose. Since this advantage applies to any
source device, i.e. including those which do not feature XLR outputs,
we consider this concept to be more flexible than the use of XLR inputs.
