Perreaux is New Zealand based manufacturer of top quality audio equipment. We are proud to bring their special products to Canada. Sophisticated circuitry, rock-solid construction and user-friendly features mean that your Perreaux product will provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Perreaux products sound special. While most manufacturers seem to endlessly talk about what they can do, we feel that Perreaux is best described by what it doesn't do. Firstly, Perreaux amplifiers do not suffer from a softening or lessening of dynamics. Attack, both micro and macro, is preserved in a way we have not found in any other product. At the same time, the sense of power is not compromised by harshness, forwardness or brittleness as so many of the other "high current/high power" designs out there. Perreaux simply sounds effortless and distortion free. Tonally, there is not the recessed glassy midrange of most rivals, instead one can compare the musical cohesiveness to that of the finest tube amplifiers. With a range of electronics starting at under $1200, we feel that Perreaux is leading the pack in terms of value for money. Features such as USB inputs, plug-in DACs and phono cards and expandability mean that your Perreaux product will grow with you and give a lifetime of simple and thorough enjoyment. éloquence Series éloquence 150i Integrated Amplifier$5995.00 CDN The 150i is a compact integrated amplifier with big attitude. 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 300 into 4.

SXP2 Passive Preamplifier$800.00 CDN The Silhouette Series SXP2 is a compact and stylish passive preamplifier (passive attenuator) and input selector. An entirely passive device, the SXP2 contains no power supply or electronics to affect the audio signal. Ensuring noise levels remain at an absolute minimum and no sonic signature is imposed on the audio signal by the SXP2. This results in quiet, detailed, and dynamic reproduction of any audio signal. As with all Perreaux products, the SXP2 features the finest audiophile grade components throughout. 3 RCA inputs, 2 preamp outputs, 1 record output. SX25 Power Amplifier$1200.00 CDN The Silhouette Series SX25 is a compact 25 Watt per channel, high quality, stereo hi-fi audio power amplifier. Used to improve your existing system or as part of a complete Silhouette system, the SX25 offers a significant performance increase. As with all Perreaux products, the design features audiophile grade components throughout. High current drive gives the SX25 the ability to maintain control of a wide range of loudspeakers, even with a modest power output of 25W. SX60m Mono-Aural Power Amplifier$1200.00 CDN The Silhouette Series SX60m is a 60 Watt mono-aural (monoblock) hi-fi audio power amplifier. The SX60m packs punch well above its weight, with the highest power-per-cubic-centimetre of any Class-A, Class-AB or Class-B power amp on the market today - the power output from its small stature is astounding. As with all Perreaux products, the design features the finest audiophile grade componentry. SXCD CD Player$2300.00 CDN The Silhouette Series SXCD compact disc player is a two-box CD player designed specifically for stereo music. Inside the SXCD you'll find the latest surface mount technology (SMT), multiple regulated power supplies, ultra-short signal paths and optimal digital and analog circuit design. At the heart of the SXCD is a computer optical drive which provides an architecture that completely eliminates jitter and data timing errors between the optical mechanism and audio converter. The Burr-Brown (Texas Instruments) 8x oversampling, 44.1kHz, 16-bit digital to analog converter (DAC) provides high quality analog output - resulting in a wide, open soundstage with 3D like depth, pinpoint stereo imaging and the authoritative sound that Perreaux is renowned for. A transformer coupled SPDIF coaxial digital output is provided via a 75½ BNC connector for connection to an external DAC module, a precision master clock ensures this data stream retains very low jitter levels. Remote control is offered by RS232 via the RJ45 pLINK port as well as an RC-5 remote input jack, allowing easy integration into automation and control solutions. In addition, RS232 allows upgrades of the SXCD system firmware. The SXCD is subtle and discreet, allowing seamless integration into existing hi-fi audio systems or the perfect compliment to other products from the Silhouette range. SXD2 USB DAC$1425.00 CDN The Silhouette Series SXD2 USB DAC is a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) with Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectivity. Offering upsampling to 192kHz with 24-bit resolution, the SXD2 is an effective way to improve CD player performance. Computer based audio can be played-back using the SXD2 via the USB connection. Essentially, the SXD2 USB DAC is a high end external sound card, offering hi fi audio performance not only for music, but also gaming and production. The SXD2 comprises of a high-resolution 24-bit Burr Brown (Texas Instruments) DAC and offers automatic upsampling to a maximum of 192kHz/24-bit. CD players with an onboard DAC can be enhanced by the increased resolution and upsampling functionality of the SXD2 USB DAC. Utilised as an external sound card via the USB port, the SXD2 provides a convenient method of accessing computer stored music files. Being an external sound card, with its own linear power supply, the SXD2 is isolated from the computers power supply noise - which is detrimental to the performance of traditional PCI sound cards and port-powered external sound cards. The SXD2 USB DAC appeals to a new generation of music lovers, namely those that appreciate the increased resolution the unit provides to their existing CD player and additionally, want audiophile quality reproduction of computer based audio. SXV2 Phono Preamplifier$1425.00 CDN The Silhouette Series SXV2 is a precision phono preamplifier. Featuring two separate low-noise input stages - one tailored specifically for moving coil (MC) cartridges the other for moving magnet (MM), the SXV2 provides the best possible performance for any cartridge. Matching the SXV2 to the cartridge couldn't be simpler; adjusting load resistance, load capacitance, gain and RIAA curve via the external DIP switches.
