best this design has to offer, you owe it to yourself to check out
our full Audio Note Custom L2 which utilizes the full Mundorf &
Teflon power supply as well as V-Cap Teflon coupling capacitors in
the analog stage. SEE THE FULL DETAILS.

Mundorf
Power Supply Upgrade for L2 preamp
Standard on all other
Audio Note Custom products, we are now offering the new
Mundorf M-TubeCap power supply as an upgrade to for the L2. In a nutshell, these are high
quality, low ESR capacitors made of Polyprophylene Film and designed for
tube audio components. Using these high quality film capacitors as main
PS filter capacitors brings forth a much smoother presentation without any
of that electrolytic 'sound'. Our own listening test and consumer
feedback confirm this option provides a genuine sonic enhancement.
The M-TubeCap
is
made of polyprophylene film with special features. This is particularly
thin and the self-healing properties are markedly
pronounced due to a special coating. The M-TubeCap combines a
high degree of dielectric strength and low residual inductivity with a
very compact form of construction. It has been developed as a
high-quality technical alternative to high-voltage electrolytic
capacitors and is thus ideally suited to use in tube amplifiers
The results from using the
M-TubeCap capacitors in the power supply are stunning. You will realize
a much smoother presentation with transparency and resolution only a
high quality film capacitor can provide.

custom installation)

The Audio Note Custom L2
is a custom built Audio Note Kits product and provides high
bandwidth, low distortion and musicality.
Here are some of the highlights that our L2
Standard linetsage pre-amplifier
offers:
-
The L2 Custom comes standard with the highly praised M2 power supply from
Audio Note manufactured products utilizing high quality Audio Note,
Jensen and Elna Cerafine capacitors, high quality Panasonic filter capacitors and precision 1% metal film resistors.
-
The analog board is 100% hard wired with
solid core silver wire eliminating all circuit board traces. -
Audio Note Tin/Mylar capacitors utilized in the coupling positions
of the linestage.
-
High quality, very close tolerance precision 1% metal film resistors are
used throughout the circuitry for an articulate presentation with
unsurpassed extension, air and detail at the frequency extremes.
-
Mills non-inductive signal tube cathode resistors .
-
High quality ELNA Cerafine capacitors located in the cathode
bypass for the analog output stage tubes.
-
High quality, low ESR electrolytic power supply
filter capacitors
by Panasonic.
-
High wattage Dale/Vishay wirewound power resistors used in the power supply.
-
Supplied as standard with these units is a NOS 6X5GT rectifier
tube.
-
High quality 12AU7 linestage tubes come standard.
-
The M2 Pre-Amplifier is all hardwired – the line stage and
optional phono stage come standard with AN silver wire.
-
The AN Silver RCA's are wired with silver plated PTFE twisted
pairs directly to the high Quality Grayhill selector switch.
-
The unit comes with a Noble Volume Pot as standard but
can be hard wired with a Volume control of
your own choosing and at an additional cost.
-
The M2 provides up to 5 line level inputs and 2 outputs.
-
All Response Audio built units undergo full 2 hour bench and 10
hour system
testing.
The M2 power supply is taken from the Audio Note finished products
line. This uses the Audio Note Trans 0103 Mains transformer/Choke
combination with 6X5 for tube rectification and the ECL82 for
regulation.
The L2 has been configured to be mated with our
Bella
EXtreme 100 mono bloc amplifiers and our
Bella
EXtreme 3205 stereo tube amplifiers.
Bella EXtreme reserves the right to change pricing and specifications
without notice simply because things change from time to time.
