TIDAL PREOS PRE-AMPLIFIER

The purely neutral and transparent sound output of this revolutionary product is made possible via the most silent and costly level adjustment system ever built into a pre amplifier. The Preos also has a state-of-the-art phono amp section.
Let the design innovators at TIDAL take your listening experience to a higher level of performance.

about Tidal

Words alone cannot effectively describe the "TIDAL sound". Naturally, we could use objective descriptions such as "ruler-smooth frequency response", "ultra fast step response" and excessive adjectives like "neutrality" and "amazing soundstage". But we expect these qualities to be a successful by-product of accurate engineering stemming from our goal of reaching for perfection.

However, accuracy alone does not touch the heart. A delicate balance between information & emotion must be struck for a perfect union. Excellent sound is not enough; music is the goal.

Preos Review Extract

The Preos is something of a sonic feast..The Preos is an active preamp and did a much better job of allowing me to hear system changes made upstream than any other preamplifier I've had at home or even heard in anyone's audio salon. But that's the entre or this wonderful performer. For dessert, there's the phono stage. I haven't heard a better phono stage than the one in the Preos, and that's hard for me to admit to. I have enjoyed myself immensely rediscovering my classical music on vinyl. The Preos has an uncanny ability to transport me into some of the finest halls in Europe.

The TIDAL Audio Impact and Preos are a wonderful combination and definitely one of the best that I've heard, ever. You owe it to yourself, if you get the opportunity, to give the TIDAL Impact and Preos a listen.

Connoisseur 4-2L SE (Line stage)The sound from the Lyra was breathtaking. Such precision had the reviewers never heard before. Voices were extremely natural sounding. Also, the treble was produced with exactness and it even cared for the smallest details, and it was easy to follow how cymbals died away.The huge soundstgae that it produced was also unique. - Translated Stereoplay Extract

Boulder 1010 Preamplifierit is with singular confidence that I can say I’ve never heard more satisfying electronics than the Boulder 1010 and 1060. When you add this to their unparalleled build quality and ergonomic thoughtfulness, what else could I ask for? So yeah, I bought them. - Ultra Audio, Jeff Fritz
