Hegel P20 Balanced Pre-amplifier

Hegel P20

The P20 is Hegel's entry level preamplifier.  It offers enormous soundstage, the deep rhythmic bass response, the perfect timing, etc. In short, the sense of being there with the performers.

The preamplifier is perhaps the most delicate unit in a sound system. Because the signal levels are so low, even the tiniest levels of noise or distortion smear the image and mask the small details that enliven the music...

Combining the brand new technology and the Silicon Germanium transistors, the Hegel has managed to achieve an open and natural sounding preamplifier at a very competitive price.
