AirTight ATC-1 Preamplifier with built in MM phono stage.

The Airtight ATC-1 preamplifier contain all of the right ingredients for rampant audio delirium.

The ATC-1 is deceptive because it's so petite but it is able to mount five 12AX7(ECC83) tubes horizontally.
The circuit itself is based on vintage concepts, just like the PCB-free construction, and consists of a three-stage low-impedance equalizer which was once employed by the famous Marantz 7.

When the Airtight ATC-1 and ATM-1 combo runs in, the listener is rewarded with some of the mostly gloriously full bodied and musical sounds.

ATC-1 Stereo Line-Control Amplifier Satisfaction of craving for past with modern technology.

From its drop-dead gorgeous looks to its sophisticated engineering, the ATC-1 exudes its pedigree as one of the finest full-function preamplifiers extant. Point-to-point, hand wired construction (with OFC copper), hand-selected and pre-aged 12AX7 tubes, and a highly rigid, nanmagnetic chassis add up to a component worthy of the finest ancillary equipment. The ATC-1features a simple, sensibly laid-out front panel, and is a superb complement, sonically and cosmetically, to the ATM-1 and ATM-2 amplifiers.

Features include: Highly reliable 12AX7 valves meticulously selected after ageing 3-stage low-impedance K-K NF configuration equaliser acclaimed for low distortion & wide frequency response Simple, single-stage flat amp for pure sound High-voltage B-power supply with quick recovery diode PCB-free hand wiring Discrete, highly rigid dia-magnetic chassis EI-core power transformer
