The Prelude is the reference headphone amplifier from the Goldenwave brand, which is now part of HiFiMan. It has a number of features that make it attractive to audiophiles and music lovers looking for lifelike, full-range sound. The amplifier uses a fully balanced Class A MOSFET construction that provides a high current output with clean and powerful sound reproduction. The amplifier's circuitry is completely discrete, meaning that it uses individual components instead of integrated circuits. This approach can result in better control of the audio signal and potentially better sound quality. The amplifier's enclosure is made from a single piece of aluminium, which helps isolate harmful resonances that can degrade audio performance, ensuring cleaner sound output. The Prelude is a premium-grade, precision-engineered headphone amplifier with a focus on sound quality and signal clarity.
