The LS27 is our finest LS-series preamp ever, replacing the venerable LS26 after almost five years. Benefiting from the latest developments in our Reference series, the LS27 distances itself from the competition by offering a level of performance not previously obtainable in its price range.
The LS27 not only offers remarkable
resolution, musicality and dynamic impact, it is our most flexible
line-stage and able to adapt to most any situation. In terms of
control options, the LS27 has selectable High / Medium / Low gain
settings for each input, BAL / SE input selection, Left-Right Balance
control, Invert (phase), and Stereo / Mono selection. Tube hours can
be monitored, there is a Processor pass-through for home theater
applications, and the display is dimmable with the option of being
turned off. All of the inputs and outputs have balanced XLR and
single-ended RCA connectors, including six pairs of discrete inputs,
a processor (unity gain) input, a monitor loop, and two sets of main
outputs. A new microprocessor controls all functions. The rear panel
also includes a 12V trigger and a 15A IEC connector.
The
LS27 is a pure Class-A design with zero feedback, and the massive
power supply is fully regulated. Gain is provided by twin 6H30
triodes. Multiple circuit changes and refinements account for greatly
improved performance, including bulk power-supply storage that has
been substantially increased, a new power transformer, and costly new
output and bypass coupling capacitors that bring new dynamic life and
even more refinement to the presentation.
The LS27 sounds
very much like a REF5 on a slightly smaller scale, with an organic,
lifelike musicality. Like its big brother, the LS27 combines great
resolving power with a tonal richness, purity and naturalness that is
immediately involving. The grain structure is superfine and
electronic artifacts have been banished. Bass impact and control are
also superb, and we believe that the LS27 surpasses the performance
of the REF3 in virtually every way, making it a stunning value.
Look
inside the LS27 to see the exceptional workmanship of this hand-made
product. Hear it in your system to appreciate everything that went
into the design and production of this compelling new preamp.
