Purity Audio Reference and Basis preamps - now available with tube power supply

[Response Audio]

The 2014 Reference and Basis preamps are now available with a tube power supply option.
In these two models, the power supply is built around the 5AR4 rectifier tube. The circuit is a choke filtered, capacitor input CLC (capacitor-choke-capacitor). Full polypropylene first filter bank with the second filter bank utilizing high quality Panasonic lytic with high value poly bypass.

Pretty cool. Will the tube power supply for the Reference line be housed in a separate chassis or housed within the preamp chassis? Will the tube power supplies for both the Basis line and Reference line look different than the tube power supply for the Musica Bella line of preamps?

Also I forgot to mention that I like the orange/red lighting vs. the blue. I keep thinking if Darth Vader had a preamp the Reference with the red would be it.

Hi Sleepy,
Both will be housed inside the chassis. The external power supplies will still only be found in the Statement Series.

look different than the tube power supply for the Musica Bella line of preamps?

Different companies.....different designs.

Thanks for the clarification and sorry about the mix up.

Any chance you have and internal pictures of the preamps with their tube power supplies already in place? That would be cool to look at.

Hi Sleepy,
I will have some pictures later next week as I am working on one right now for our Chicago showroom.
However, the only component that will be seen in the top chamber, its a twin chamber design, is the tube itself.

Here is a quick shot of the Reference up and running with the tube power supply. As you can see, the only visual change in the upper chamber is the addition of the 5AR4 rectifier tube.
