SJS Arcadia Model 7 Line Pre-amplifier

Absolutely stunning, less is more. Cottage industry is just the best IMHO. Best of luck SJS.

Indeed this is really gorgeous.

I like my EAR 912 but it's very utilitarian in its execution. By comparison this is a work of art.

Thanks for the comments.

I continue to be inspired by the original Model 1 & Model 2 amps which come back after 20 years in the field for servicing, and aspire to build new amps which will retain their appeal and musicality in a similar way.

Busy during lockdown and ready to bounce back with the new dark star version of the SJS Arcadia Model 7 linestage preamplifier









Standard and Enhanced versions are now on demonstration at Definitive Audio in Nottingham

A new SJS Arcadia Model 7 Enhanced valve linestage preamplifier ready for delivery to Definitive Audio.

The first amplifier sporting our new super high grade mains transformer with copper plated frames.



Enhanced version in black with choke loaded triode gain stage, Duelund CAST capacitors and pure silver wiring throughout.

Each one is hand built to order and can arrive with your choice of finish for the front panel and dials.













Which to choose?

They look great, but I suspect sadly out of my price range new. If anything like your original Ver 1 and 2 they will hold their value really well even second hand in the future.

I recently borrowed a old Ver 1 and 1.5 and hopefully will be owner of one of them in the not too distance future.

Thanks for the comments Paul.

I fully support the original Model 1 and 2 amps, and the upgraded Model "1.5" amps, for service, repairs and upgrades.
