Pathos Incontrol
Pathos InControl – Stereo Preamplifier
Are a couple of highly innovative monoblock amplifiers allowed to be driven by a business-as-usual preamplifier? Definitely not.
InControl project started exactly with this goal: to provide InPower monoblocks with a control unit that was able to allow them to deliver all their impressive potential.
A goal not easily achieved: the research and development required two years of long study and hard work.
Fortunately though, as it’s used to Pathos, the end result is one of excellence

PS AUDIO BHK Signature Preamplifier
PS AUDIO BHK Signature Preamplifier
Preamps can make or break a system; holding back rich details buried in the music. They are the critical link between sources and power amplifiers. Precious few of them–only a handful really–uncover, preserve and amplify the rich bloom of music. The BHK Signature Preamplifier is one of the rare few that brings out the magic.
Preamplifiers are the heart of any high-end music system controlling input selection, the critical first amplification stage, volume and balance functions, and the all important electrical isolation between sources and power amplifiers. Place the BHK Signature Preamplifier between your musical sources, such as a phono preamp, DAC, tuner or auxiliary source–and your power amplifier–and magic happens. Suddenly you are enveloped in a wealth of musicality you’ve not yet experienced: deeper, wider sound staging, improved separation of instruments and voices, Subterranean bass, extended highs, and an openness you have yet to experience without this instrument in the system.
