Description
With its groundbreaking signal path technology, battery power supply and unrivalled phono stages, the NHB-18NS is still the benchmark for preamplifiers.
The NHB-18NS is peerless in terms of clarity and musicality. Designed to control NHB-series power amplifiers, it offers state-of-the-art preamplification and control.
50-ohm darT-to-Zeel connection cables complete this exquisite offering.
darTZeel has always developed the most rapid audio circuits.
The NHB-18NS’s unique circuit board layout allows each optical input to be activated separately.
The absence of global negative feedback ensures an ideal and uncompromising listening experience.
For the NHB series, each aluminium component is milled from a solid block, hand-finished, brushed and anodised.
This underlines the uniqueness and exclusivity of the NHB series.
