Mentor Product Overview

The Mentor Pre-amp family is the ultimate level of pre-amplification in a high end audio system – the magic is in the Mentor Power supply that is SHUNT based and results outrageous dynamics and incredible black background- you need to hear to believe – the Power supply is designed with Dual 4 Pole chokes and the 5u4G rectifier typically found in power amplifiers – Dual 4 Pole Mlytic capacitors also collect up any noise found in the audio signal and send out to ground – the SHUNT design means there is a reserve of current running at all times so that the pre-amp can access instantaneous current supplies need for large swings in the audio signal – the result is that seemingly dull recordings will spring to life and details never heard before will suddenly materialize!

The L4 version has the single 5u4g rectifier, Takman resistors and AudioNote copper caps as well as a stereo ALPS pot.

It is basically a cost reduced version of ultimate Level 5 Mentor pre-amp. In the Level 4 we use a single 5U4g/ WE 274b tube rectifier in the Shunt power supply.
