Analog preamplifier

# The Driver

A preamplifier conceived as a tuning fork: precise, silent, invisible to the signal.
The Driver is the rational heart of the system, where the music takes its final 
shape before power.

Philosophy

## Silence as raw material.

S/N above 120 dB, crosstalk below the measurement floor, bandwidth extending well
beyond the audible range. The Driver neither adds nor subtracts color: it preserves
the source’s signature and hands it intact to the power stage.
