You've got a multi-channel AVR or processor, so why would you need a stereo preamp? Simple. It just sounds that much better. For music, there is no substitute for the richness of pure analog sound. We've taken the best features of a classic preamplifier and updated them to allow easy integration with your high performance multichannel home theater system.

Ready to rediscover your vinyl? The USP-1 has high-performance moving coil/moving magnet phono preamp circuitry.

Wondering how much more detailed those CD's can sound? Try pairing the USP-1 and the ERC-1 Reference CD Player. You'll be amazed. (We were!)

Drawing from key design elements of the now legendary RSP series, the USP-1 has pushed the envelope, emerging as a new standard for pure analog preamplification.

The USP-1: Analog Bliss.
