Other Notes: "The Holo Audio Serene KTE is a top-tier, fully discrete, balanced preamplifier focused on transparency and neutrality, designed to present music exactly as recorded. Its Kitsune Tuned Edition upgrades include premium components like Mundorf, Nichicon, and Elna parts, enhancing clarity and detail.
Sonically, it delivers holographic imaging, precise layering, and a deep, black background, offering immense detail without sounding clinical. Despite its resolution, it retains an organic, musical quality that outshines many solid-state and even some tube preamps.
Connectivity includes 2 XLR and 5 RCA inputs with 2 XLR and 1 RCA outputs, while the 10kg robust chassis ensures stability and shielding. Compared to competitors like the Benchmark LA4, it offers a more natural, uncolored sound. Ideal for purists seeking reference-level transparency, it excels paired with high-resolution DACs like the Holo May."
