Nagra, a name synonymous with high-fidelity audio equipment since its establishment in 1951, has once again set the bar higher in the world of audio engineering with the introduction of its new Reference Preamp. This latest offering joins the ranks of the esteemed Nagra HD line, which has consistently pushed the boundaries of sound quality and technical innovation in the audiophile community.

The Nagra HD line, first unveiled in 2017 and updated in 2020, has been celebrated for its exceptional specifications and a sound profile that is both natural and transparent, delivering a three-dimensional listening experience. The Reference Preamp builds on this legacy, integrating years of meticulous research and exhaustive listening tests to create a product that not only meets but surpasses the expectations of audiophiles and reviewers worldwide.

Reference Turntable as example

The development of the Reference Preamp was inspired by the meticulous design principles seen in the Nagra Reference turntable and its accompanying tonearm and cartridge. This endeavor has led to the creation of a phono stage capable of redefining sonic possibilities. By leveraging insights gained from these reference components, Nagra’s engineers have developed a preamplifier that is poised to set a new standard in analog sound reproduction.

Key innovations in the Reference Preamp

  • Custom Made Capacitors: Essential changes to the audio unit’s components, enhancing sound fidelity.
  • High Voltage Power Supplies: New generation power supplies within the audio signal unit generate an impressive 200 V DC grid tension, ensuring optimal performance.
  • Super-Capacity Power Supply: The inclusion of super-cap technology in the power supply enhances energy delivery and stability.
  • Dual Chassis Design: Separation of power supplies for the audio signal section and control/relay switching minimizes interference and maximizes clarity.
  • Mechanical Damping: A phenolic layer added to the top cover provides additional mechanical damping, further refining audio output.
  • REF Medallion: A distinctive medallion above the modulometer signifies the product’s place within Nagra’s prestigious Reference family.

Power supply options

The Reference Preamp also offers flexibility in power supply configurations. While it can operate on a single power supply, users may choose to enhance their listening experience by adding a second unit, achieving unparalleled sonic performance. This step-by-step upgrade approach allows audiophiles to customize their systems according to their preferences and financial considerations.

Nagra’s commitment to excellence, rooted in Swiss precision engineering and a culture of perfection, is evident in every aspect of the Reference Preamp. As the company continues to innovate and expand the sonic envelope of its HD line, the Reference Preamp stands as a testament to Nagra’s dedication to delivering exceptional audio experiences.
