Wyetech Labs is pleased to announce the development of the Pearl line stage preamplifier, one that is as close to an Opal as one can get. This high speed, ultra wide bandwidth line stage follows in the tradition of the Opal, delivering exceptional sound quality with low distortion and ultra linearity. The Pearl uses Shallco precision stepped selector and balance controls, the same type as found in the Opal, and has a high quality ELMA 24 position stepped volume control that maintains a channel balance within 0.05 dB's. Implementing three low noise military specification NOS dual triode 6SN7WGTA vacuum tubes without any use of feedback, this preamplifier is compatible with all amplifiers. Calibrated switch settings allow precise control over volume and balance settings. The inputs are wired with coax from the RCA jacks to the Shallco selector switch in the same way the Opal is wired.
The pearl is expected to be available for sale in Fall 2003.
