The Acoustics Arts Tube Preamp II (mk1) is a high-quality vacuum tube preamplifier designed to enhance the sound quality of audio signals. It was introduced by Acoustics Arts in the mid-1990s and was a significant upgrade to its previous preamplifier model. The mk1 version featured two 12AX7 tubes in its gain stage and one ECC83 tube in the tunable storage capacitor section. These tubes provided a warm and natural sound that was highly regarded by audiophiles. The Tube Preamp II also featured a range of inputs and outputs, including single-ended and balanced options, as well as a custom-made volume control from Dale Research. The mk1 version was highly regarded by audiophiles and continues to be a sought-after preamplifier today, with many units still in use and highly valued by collectors.
