The preamp starts with a vintageinspired preamplifier with Cinemag input transformer providing a creamy, yet punchy response and custom discrete op-amp BLA1831 whitch offers a noise floor that is akin to modern equipment.
It’s topped that off with a passive inductor-based program equalizer, a custom inductor created just for Eighteen by the Cinemag and outputs controls.
