Tape Head Preamplifier TP1

The TP1 is a solid-state tape head preamplifier with 60+ DB gain on an incredibly low noise floor. The TP1 When coupled with a good stable R-R transport, will reveal that there is a whole new layer of hidden, sonic complexity and detail available. Even from prerecorded tapes going back to the 50s. Aspects of the music you never knew existed on tapes, that you may have had for years.

With three individually adjustable gain input stages, the TP1 will serve discerning tape enthusiasts, who have multiple tape recorders. We have also added an EQ trim feature, which allows you to adjust the treble and we know that, when you try it, you will appreciate its flexibility, through the range of tape offerings, whether they be older pre-record or new 15 IPS versions. 

Why listen to old news tape recorders when you can spend similar money to a mid-to high-end cartridge and hear huge sound improvements that are not in the diminishing returns category? The TP1 retails for $5975 and is available until the end of April 2024 at the Axpona show price of $5250.
