Valvet SoulShine MK2 Preamplifier

Valvet's flagship preamplifier
 
The soulshine2 is a complete double mono construction including an external double mono powersupply. It comes with a 48-position mechanical volume switch (with remote control) and a display beside the volume knob to show the position. This display can be dimmed and switched of completely with the full metal remote handset which also provides a „Mute“ function. There is only one capacitor in the signal path: a custom made for VALVET Evo silver/gold from MUNDORF. The feet are a custom made „Pro“ version from bFly-Audio.
 
The signal runs through two double triodes (ECC802S + ECC99). There is a choice of two outputs plus recording output or three outputs (standard).

sound: The soulshine II shows exceptional detail, plasticity and sound stage. Everything is played on a black/still backgound. The listener hears no tube noise, but many tube virtues. Voices really have body, strings have the right fluidity, and an electric guitar sounds just like it should. Especially the harmony between silence and dynamics captivates the listener right away
