About the Modulus L2
The Audible Illusions Modulus L2 is a two-channel vacuum tube preamplifier first introduced in the 1980s. It features a phono input for turntables and multiple other inputs for audio sources. The preamplifier uses high-quality vacuum tubes (4 x 6DJ8/6922 and 1 x 6X4 rectifier) and premium components such as low-noise resistors and capacitors, contributing to its transparent, natural, and detailed sound. It has a maximum output level of 15 volts RMS for line inputs and 20 volts RMS for phono. The Modulus L2 is praised for its superb build quality and remains a highly regarded piece of audio equipment among vacuum tube enthusiasts. It includes an external power supply and weighs approximately 19.5 lbs. The unit is known for excellent imaging, dynamic sound, and a natural presentation without euphonic coloration. It is still in production as of 2023, though some units are sold used with varying cosmetic conditions.
