The Symphonic Line Erleuchtung Mk3 HD—also listed by the manufacturer as the Reference MK 3 HD—is a flagship, two-chassis analogue line/phono preamplifier. It builds on the standard Erleuchtung architecture with an elaborate external “Turbo” power supply, valve rectification, two specially shielded 350 VA MU-metal transformers, and special impulse capacitors housed in solid aluminium enclosures. The preamplifier includes valve-based MM phono amplification and an MC stage using high-quality step-up transformers, plus one balanced XLR input and one balanced XLR output pair with transformers. It is designed without global negative feedback and uses ceramic valve sockets. The manufacturer describes its intent as exceptionally vivid reproduction and spacious soundstage presentation.
