Nagra PREAMP II-S on black background

Swiss craft

With spy missions, Oscar wins and trips to the moon all in its proud history, it’s amazing that Switzerland’s Nagra still has time to make hi-end hifi.

But thankfully it does, as its new Preamp II-S reveals, being the first product in the brand’s all-new Series II range that sit between its Compact and HD models.

Key features include the return of Nagra’s Modulometer that’s directly inspired by the company’s IV-S reel-to-reel recorder, advanced vibration control derived from its Reference range via a phenolic damping layer under its aluminium top cover, HD tube technology and two gain stages.
