The audiophile heart beats in the tube pre-amp stage
The heart and control center of the RV 3 lies in the audiophile tube preamplifier, which amplifies the incoming signals directly after the input stage. A solid aluminum knob for volume control is positioned centrally in the 8 mm thick aluminum front panel, which actuates a high-precision ALPS motorized potentiometer.
