Based on 30 years of amplifier-building expertise, Huei offers MM/MC compatibility and integrates turntables to amplifiers.

Benefitting from both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil functionality, Huei offers compatibility with a huge range of cartridges thanks to comprehensive gain and impedance-matching options; Huei’s high- and low-gain switching settings are easily accessible via front-panel controls, introducing welcome flexibility.

Moving coil: 100Ω – 3,700Ω, 12-step user selectable

Moving magnet: 21dB – 42dB, 8-step user selectable

Moving coil: 49dB – 68dB, 8-step user selectable

The TToby range may be ideally suited to compact living environments, but don’t let that fool you. With similar legendary amplification derived from our SPM range, TToby doesn’t compromise on power or providing you with the purest audio experience possible.

ULTIMA PRE 2 is built to complement stereo systems.

The UTLIMA PRE 3 is a low noise preamplifier. 

The UTLIMA PRE 3 is equipped with five analogue inputs (two balanced and three unbalanced) all of which benefit from individual buffering and are filtered against potential ingress from radio frequency interference.

Externally, the PRE 3 benefits from a central circular power sphere flanked by a new volume control and balance/AV bypass selector, both of which benefit from a new ergonomic knob design.

Additional features include an AV bypass, plus a 5 V charging USB Type-A port.

The Qutest System Stand is carefully designed and precision-machined in England from a single billet of aircraft-grade aluminium.
