Supreme Analog Fatale Tube Preamplifier
SUPREME ANALOG FATALE TUBE PREAMPLIFIER USES TRANSFORMER- AND CAPACITOR-FREE SIGNAL PATH
The Supreme Analog Fatale Tube Preamplifier uses an audio circuit topology designed without audio transformers or output capacitors in the signal path.
Zoran Mihajlovic of Supreme Analog says this approach is intended to preserve the frequency spectrum without phase shift or frequency modulation.

Supreme Analog says that further details of the circuit design cannot currently be disclosed because they involve technical aspects related to its patent protection. The company describes the topology as central to the design of the Tube Preamplifier.
The preamplifier has a quoted frequency range of 10Hz to 50kHz (-3dB), with a dynamic range of 120dB and THD+N of 0.1% at 1kHz. Input sensitivity for maximum swing is specified at 0.5V/rms, while voltage gain is +18dB.
SUPREME ANALOG FATALE CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS
The Supreme Analog Fatale Tube Preamplifier features three XLR and one RCA input. Outputs comprise two XLR connections and one RCA connection. Attenuation is specified at -96dB in 1dB steps, with a peak output voltage of 12V/pp and output noise of 1mV/pp. The unit is designed for 230V or 115V mains supplies at 50/60Hz.
According to the supplied information, the electronics are handmade, with the company highlighting the manual construction of the circuits and soldering. The preamplifier measures 500 x 200 x 500mm (W x H x D) and has a net weight of 45kg.
SUPREME ANALOG FATALE PREAMPLIFIER PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
Price: TBC. The Supreme Ananlog Fatale Preamplifier will make its debut with Angie’s Audio Corner, American Sound Of Canada this autumn.
HiFi PiG says: The Supreme Analog Fatale Preamplifier uses an unusual circuit topology, with the manufacturer removing transformers and output capacitors from the signal path. Its 120dB dynamic range and 10Hz–50kHz frequency range are also notable, while the 45kg, 500 x 200 x 500mm chassis makes this a substantial piece of handmade analogue electronics.
