Following the success of the WAVAC Audio Lab control amplifier PR-T1, the PR-Z1 continues the pursuit of natural sound. It is a tube preamplifier offering a luxurious feel with its controls. The PR-Z1 uses low-noise and highly reliable tubes for better quality and efficiency. It includes a separate power supply to reduce magnetic noise and employs a DC ignition system to prevent hum from the heater. The shield case for tubes reduces external noise. The PR-Z1 is available in a champagne finish and is designed to pair well with high-quality amplifiers like the TA-805m.
