Music Hall Analogue A3 Vacuum Tube Phono Preamplifier Features 12AU7 Tubes for Pristine Performance and Luscious Sonic Warmth The Analogue A3 Vacuum Tube Phono Preamplifier is ideal for the serious audiophile who seeks the warmth and sonic detail found in tube components, combined with the legendary build quality associated with the Music Hall brand.

This elegant preamp is designed and constructed around visible 12AU7 medium-gain dual triode tubes—valves renowned for their specific characteristics of warmth, speed, and detail. The Analogue A3 proves that your phono amp need not be relegated to a tiny box.

At 10 inches wide, 7 inches deep, and weighing 6 pounds, the A3 is a substantial, rock-solid component, equipped with electronics that are on par with the best rack-size phono amplifiers on the market. Its gold-plated RCA inputs and outputs ensure a strong connection and clear signal transmission.

Plus, the custom, vibration-damping feet allow for steady operation and ultra-quiet performance. The A3 is switchable for use with either a moving-magnet or moving-coil phono cartridge, ensuring that the unit can remain in your system if you decide to switch cartridges.

Impeccable construction, combined with premium parts and stunning sound performance, give the A3 a remarkable price-to-performance profile. This is a component that is built to last for years to come.

As is the case with any Music Hall product, the engineering decisions involved in the design of the A3 were made solely in the service of premium sound quality.

From the substantial aluminum alloy chassis to the careful selection of internal components, nothing was spared—nor added—for any reason but to maintain signal purity. The minimalist, elegant chassis is a reminder that the focus is always on sonic quality.

The A3 arrives in a sturdy flight case, and it comes with the 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee. About Music Hall Founded in 1985, Music Hall's emphasis is almost exclusively on 2-channel (stereo) equipment—which makes the company something of a rarity in this era of multichannel products.

The company employs highly skilled artisans in the Czech Republic, some based in a factory that has been making turntables for more than 50 years. Music Hall products consistently have been hailed as "Recommended Components" in Stereophile magazine.
