Description
The new Hifiman Prelude is a Fully Balanced Class A Headphone Amplifier. A pinnacle of audio engineering that redefines the way you experience sound. Crafted to perfection, this amplifier combines innovation, precision, and power to deliver an audio experience that is second to none. With its fully balanced architecture and meticulous design, the Prelude sets a new standard for headphone amplification.
The new Hifiman Prelude features a fully balanced class A MOS-FET high current output that delivers unparalleled audio quality. The amplifier's architecture features a precise single-ended to balanced conversion circuit that transforms the single-ended RCA input into a fully balanced output. This innovative approach ensures that every detail of your music is faithfully reproduced, allowing you to experience audio with breathtaking clarity and realism. The pre-amplifier circuit employs a class A output structure, providing exceptional power and a natural timbre that brings your music to life.
The prelude features accurate channel balance with the Alps potentiometer. This sophisticated control element guarantees that your listening experience is perfectly calibrated, ensuring that you hear your music exactly as it was intended. Whether you're enjoying delicate classical melodies or thunderous rock anthems, the Alps potentiometer ensures that every note reaches your ears with utmost precision.
The Prelude also features a customized high-power, low-noise toroidal transformer with a multi-channel high-speed low-noise voltage regulator circuit. This power supply setup guarantees that your headphones are powered with precision and consistency, enabling you to experience the full dynamic range of your music. Additionally, the fully balanced headphone protection circuit ensures that your headphones remain safe while delivering a powerful, distortion-free sound.
The Prelude's housing is meticulously crafted from a single piece of aluminum, serving a dual purpose of aesthetics and sound quality. This design approach isolates harmful resonance that can negatively impact sonic output, resulting in an audio experience that is free from unwanted artifacts. Every component is carefully chosen and integrated to deliver a pure, unadulterated listening experience.

Let customers speak for us
from 17 reviewsExcellent machine for the price. Easy to use and do the job for me. Very important: vinyls sounds very good too !
Love ❤️
Great unit that completes my 2 channel system.
Prompt delivery! VERY well packaged so, it arrived unscathed and protected. Great job. I will buy from them again!
I am really enjoying this unit. It powers my headphones as well as sends signal to my studio monitors. I love the onboard eq and effects (which I admittedly don't use a ton but love the option) and the screen is beautiful. I have been applying some of the headphone presets andI think they're great. I know some audiophile reviewers weren't favourable of the presets but I've been loving them!
Amazing in-ears for musicians who value details and attention as well as some bass
Perfect. Superfast overnight shipping is greatly appreciated. Nicholas was fantastic to deal with. AAA+++
Everything is awesome the product and the seller are sooo great.
Spectacularly fits with what i want from a headphone. My favourite sound signature out of my collection of Sennheiser, Grado, Sony, Koss, Apple headphones. Pairs well with my Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies 3rd Gen headphone amplifier/DAC. Added an after-market balanced cable to optimize my amp, but otherwise plug and play.
Best closed back headphones for the price.
If you looking for fun sounding can this is it.
Awesome Tube amp :)
Very clean but still gives tube warmth.
Low hum noise. Low enough to use on 64 audio iem which is 6ohm.
Amazing sound
What an amazing experience. There was a delay in shipping, but they reached out right away to let me know. Fantastic communication, and very nice personal touch. They more than made up for the delay. As I upgrade my KEFs, I’ll only be buying from Noteworthy. Thanks for everything!
First of all thanks to Nick (Noteworthy Audio) for very quick responses on all my questions. Delivery was very fast, and got my set in time. U12T is perfect IEM with great soundstage and excellent details. I use my A&K SE300Ti and iBasso DX300 with AMP13 and I love this pair.
Amazing service. The 1st place I will go to in the future for high end audiophile equipment.
Thank you.
