Gustard P26 Balanced preamplifier

Class-A Discrete preamplifiers LM49860 - 130dB SNR



Gustard P-26 adjustable preamplifier input gain


Gustard P26 is an advanced preamplifier / volume controller / souce selector (3 Inputs). It will delight audiophiles looking for a fully balanced circuit with volume control to drive a power amplifier in any demanding audio system.

It offers an innovative option to configure separately the input gain from the output gain. This is a particularly useful feature that allows operation even with devices that have very different specifications.

P26 Gustard operational amplifier LME49860

Audiophile circuit design


This preamplifier has a circuit designed for fully balanced applications. Thus the inputs, the volume control, the preamplification stage are all fully balanced with no conversion stage at all.

It uses two high-performance stereo LME49860 operational-amplifiers mounted on DIP-8 support (removable). The latter can then be renewed / changed in order to adapt the overall sound signature. The amplification stage is hybrid, that is to say it relies on OPA as well as discrete components subcircuits.

The output stages are constructed from discrete components with differential signaling architecture, which ensures excellent stability in output signal.

Analog attenuation


Thanks to a relay matrix driven by a logic circuit ALTERA MAX, the P26 is able to provide a constant and accurate volume on each channel.

This type volume of control combines the best of both worlds with : the precision and finesse of pure analog attenuation as well as the confort of digital control and the ability to change the volume remotely.

Linear regulated power supply


Gustard P26 carry its own linear regulated power supply with high speed low noise rectifier.

It also benefits from a custom ultra-low noise discrete voltage regulator .

The power supply finally uses a 50W toroidal transformer specifically developed for properly supplying this circuit.

A selector on the back of the unit toggles between 230V / 110V power-grids.

Display, front controls and infrared remote control

The P26 comes with an infrared remote control. This remote enables the user to access the volume, mute and source selection functions.
WARNING: In order to operate the remote control, please press and hold the AMP button on the remote control for 4 seconds.


All control are also available on the front panel. An ON / OFF button, a control button to select the source and configure the input / output gain. Finally, a rotary controller is used to adjust the volume level.

The OLED monitor screen shows real-time the active source, the current volume level and the in / out gain parameters.

Premières impressions
Preampli transparent et suffisamment puissant pour l'utiliser avec l'HPA -S400ET que j'ai du régler sur 20 db de gain pour pouvoir garder un réglage fin du volume.
Utilisé en sortie XLR, la possibilité de rajouter du gain en sortie est bienvenue pour une source phono qui gagne un peu de relief.
Ce appareil ne semble avoir aucune signature sonore et n''apporte donc aucune coloration particulière au son. Belle qualité de construction apparente et plutôt lourd pour la taille.
L'ayant reçu très récemment, il est trop tôt pour lui donner une note, notamment sur la fiabilité.
Mode d'emploi en français téléchargeable appréciable, mais ce serait mieux s'il était systématiquement joint avec l'appareil.
L.G.

SUPERBE!
Un excellent préampli, pour une écoute très naturelle.
GUSTARD surprend encore avec ce produit de haute volée pour un prix raisonnable. Cerise sur le gâteau, l'utilisation de ce bijou est extrèment conviviale : gain adaptable, volume télécommandé et ajusté par relais au cliqueti bien sympathique! Avec une sureté de fonctionnement qui impose le respect. Merci à Audiophonics, qui propose des produits de haut niveau, mais encore abordables, et qu'on ne trouve, nulle part ailleurs.

Que du plaisir
Aération, précision et profondeur c'est ce que l'on gagne avec cet appareil. Les vinyles revivent avec un préampli phono Micromega.
Bonne complicité avec le Dac X16 de la même marque et la connexion XLR. Le volume peut être réglé très finement grâce à l'affichage.
