Thank you to @stereophile & @micallefjasswaxx for the great coverage at Southwest Audio Fest!

“The Pilot system unraveled The Beach Boys’ harmonic stacks with dulcet separation—all individuated, and nothing smeared. The system also delivered a crystal-clear top end, and a forward momentum that made the record feel alive.

Tangerine Dream’s 1981 Thief soundtrack album hit the room next with squeegee-clean layering, scale that practically scratched my back, and detail retrieval that let every synth pad breathe and expand.” - Ken Micallef /Stereophile taken in Dallas, Texas by @pilotradiolabs

This absolutely beautiful @pilotradiolabs preamplifier bears a history reaching back to the company’s founding in 1919, and while its aesthetic and core concepts are direct-descendants, the execution leverages modern ideas and processes.

The result is an incredibly straight forward execution:

Two line level single ended inputs, and a selectable dedicated MM or MC option onboard, with a single set of single ended outputs to attach any amplifier on the market, including their own forthcoming matched mate!

An ultra simple, direct signal path, featuring 2 x 12AX7 / ECC83 and 2 x 12AU7 / ECC82 and Oil in Paper Caps, leveraging a core circuit board where most effective and otherwise a mixture of point to point wiring and mechanically stable turret connections.

It’s a beautiful unit as well. It could have looked like an anvil, but Pilot took the time to use simple design language to make something serene and handsome. It features a grill pattern calling directly back to classic Pilot designs.

Priced at $3500, this is a as pure a classic tube preamplifier as you could wish for. Zero additional fluff and among the richest tones we’ve ever heard with class defining depth and weight.

Make time to come give it a listen, and keep an eye out for new marvels on the way from this legendary house of sound! taken in EMBER Audio + Design by @pilotradiolabs
