PS Audio Preamplifiers

State of the art control centers.

Engineered to preserve every nuance: transparency, dynamics, and musical integrity.

The control center of your system: it selects your source — DAC, streamer, or turntable — and sets the volume before the signal reaches your power amplifier. A phono preamplifier does the same for a turntable, boosting and equalizing the faint signal from your cartridge.

Five models. Two philosophies — the PMG Signature line, StellarGold, and the Stellar Strata MK2 all-in-one integrated. From the reference PMG Signature Preamplifier and Phono Preamplifier to the accessible StellarGold line stage and Stellar Phono — plus the Strata MK2 if you want DAC, preamp, phono, and power amplification in a single chassis.

Fully balanced circuitry, discrete Class A stages, and stepped attenuators where it matters. Ultra-low noise, vanishing distortion, and bandwidth that preserves transient speed and spatial realism. The preamplifier is the heart of your system — these are built to keep it beating true.

This is the PS Audio preamplifier family. Designed and hand built in Boulder, Colorado. Control centers engineered to preserve every nuance — so nothing comes between you and the music.
