Description
Description
The Kora PR140 preamplifier delivers a smooth, precise musicality with natural dynamics and lifelike detail retrieval. Designed to respect the integrity of every recording, it combines refined control with exceptional transparency. Beyond standard functions like volume and balance, the PR140 also allows you to fine-tune and balance the level of each of its five inputs, adapting perfectly to any system.
What makes the PR140 stand out is its modular design. With an extension slot, it can easily be upgraded by adding optional modules such as a phono stage (for vinyl playback) or a DAC (for digital sources). This flexibility ensures that your preamplifier can grow with your system and remain future-proof.
Built with premium materials and Kora’s dedication to craftsmanship in Toulouse, France, the PR140 is a versatile centerpiece for serious music lovers seeking both precision and upgrade potential.
