Spread Spectrum Technologies Ambrosia Preamplifier-The Best under $15k preamp?

Ask us about 6 MONTHS NO PAYMENTS or INTEREST thru PayPal

I have a perfect black demo preamp with phono stage available for only $6450.00. Call to discuss.

The Ambrosia preamp is the best solid state preamp that we sell and simply the best value in a preamp under $15,000.00.

There are prettier preamps and preamps from companies with bigger names but this preamp outperforms any solid state preamp that we know of at anywhere near its cost. The Spread Spectrum Technologies Ambrosia preamp received an
awesome review in the January 2012 Absolute Sound. (We have black as
well as blue available). Save $1500.00 without phono stage

They summed up with:
"The Ambrosia and
Ampzilla are by any standard statement products that can take their
place among the finest amps and preamps that money can buy. At $15,000
the combo is far from inexpensive, though that figure does include two
excellent phono preamps and a headphone amplifier. Reflect, too, that
there are competing electronics exceeding $100,000 that give you far
less of everything. To those who find it impossible to believe
components priced as reasonably as these can possibly be as good as
those costing a whole lot more, I only say "they are". Please
audition with your mind as open as your ears." If I wee closing up shop
tomorrow as a reviewer I would buy them and live happily ever after."

The Ambrosia is also available as a line stage only without the phono stage for only $6995.00.

The
Ambrosia stereo preamp is from Jim Bongiorno, the maker of the Ampzilla
power amps, is a superb, full featured solid state preamplifier. This
50 pound fully balanced preamp has giant power supplies, one of the
best remote controls made and a world class MM/MC phono stage. It also
has excellent tone controls and a balance control.

The user
interface system in the Ambrosia is all electronic. There are no
physical switches on controls of any kind in the signal path. All
functions are 100% microprocessor controlled. All functions can be
controlled from both the front panel as well as the remote control.

Here are some Dick Olsher quotes from his review in March, 2008:
"the
Ambrosia is a sensation at any price point. Here is a full function
preamplifier complete with MM and MC phono capability that for me
bridges the sonic gap between solid-state and tube designs. If you
already own a tube or hybrid amp, the Ambrosia should prove most
complementary."

"Vinyl playback through the internal Moving Magnet (MM) stage provided superlative sound quality."

"The Ambrosia's tone controls gave me the opportunity to tweak the speaker's tonal balance to my liking."

"The
music's harmonic tapestry was remarkably silky and yet exquisitely
detailed. The soundstage was solidly fleshed out with an excellent depth
perspective and extremely stable image placement. Most telling was the
manner in which vinyl surface noise, clicks and pops, were dispensed
with."

"Its low distortion signature and superlative transient response were responsible for a fluid delivery and enhanced clarity."

The
Ambrosia outweighs many power amplifiers at 50 pounds net. Most of the
weight is due to a huge low EMI power transformer mounted in its own
can. It features four secondary windings that are used to power each
circuitry section independently, and in the process eliminate ground
loops. In addition, 15 independent power supply regulators are employed
throughout for immunity against AC mains fluctuations. This is one
serious piece of work. Spread Spectrum will be selling the phono stage alone from this preamp for $3500.00 late this year.

We accept PayPal, Visa, Discover and MasterCard as well as
money orders.

AMBROSIA SPECIFICATIONS

-Power Supplies:
4
completely separate sets of transformer windings which power the four
main sections of the preamp. These four sections are moving coil, moving
magnet, line, and display and control. Each section in addition has its
own multiple regulators (16 regulators in all).

-Line Amp:
3
main inputs (CD, FM, AUX) plus one combo XLR jack that can be either
balanced or unbalanced. Separate tone controls for each channel, both
bass and treble, with 4 different inflection points each selectable via
main menu.

-World’s most exotic power transformer Triple shielded
with Fe bands plus inter layer grounded shields, plus complete mu metal
wrap, plus complete seamless Fe can.

-Balanced input circuit has an anti-common-mode driver to prevent common mode distortion.

-Discrete
power buffers will drive any headphones known to man. 2 pairs on the
front panel. Main outputs are single ended (2 pairs) and balanced, 2
pairs.

-Complete tape copy and monitor functions for 2 decks.

-Completely
separate and dedicated inputs and outputs for both MC and MM cartridges
(as well as through tape functions). Both phono sections are completely
separate each with their own Power supply regulators. Each phono
section has its own selectable 20Hz low cut filter.

-All grounding has been engineered to completely eliminate any possibilities of grounding interference or ground loops.

-Interface System
The
user interface system in the Ambrosia is all electronic. There are no
physical switches on controls of any kind in the signal path. All
functions are 100% microprocessor controlled. On the front panel there
are 5 push button momentary switches and a main optical shaft encoder.
These 6 functions are exactly duplicated on the remote control
(supplied). The entire operation of the system is menu driven which
makes functionality a breeze. Once learned, you’ll never use another
preamp without it.
