The C-5000 is one of the most spectacular preamplifiers of its time. With a true-to-life sound and high resolution, it plays every nuance of sound perfectly in your living room.
Perfectly symmetrical
In conjunction with the GT-5000 turntable and the M-5000 power amplifier, a completely symmetrical signal chain is created from start to finish for the best sound.
Balanced preamplifier
The preamplifier at Tone Defeat offers a completely symmetrical and discrete circuit design.
The patented electronic design of the C-5000 enables optimal signal routing via all audio inputs, which is free of ground interference.
Symmetrical "folding book" circuit
The "folding book" structure of the preamplifier board mirrors the left and right signal paths for perfect harmony.
Because the channels are identical, the C-5000 creates a stereo sound field with vivid depth and realistic width.
The signal routing runs optimally even when other components are connected.
Double power plant
Independent toroidal transformers for the left and right channels provide optimal signal separation and therefore an outstanding soundstage.
The low magnetic radiation reduces negative effects on the audio signal. After extensive listening tests, the power transformer was packed in a copper-coated case to prevent magnetic radiation and vibrations. This also minimizes the influence on the phono circuit.
This creates a rhythmic, dynamic and detailed sound that seduces the listener into endless listening sessions.
Low impedance electronic design
The copper-plated chassis minimizes the disruptive influence of voltage on the electronic circuit. This means the C-5000 is able to reproduce even the subtlest differences in sound as well as voluminous bass.
Thick, screwed cables also reduce the impedance of the power supply and thus further improve the transmission of the audio signal.
High-end you can touch
The C-5000 has been completely redesigned with the aim of providing the ultimate HiFi experience.
Aesthetics and feel – The controls and switches convey the inner qualities the first time you touch them.
The precise volume control is ball-bearing and cut from aluminum, while the lever switches give the C-5000 a classic feel. This also makes operation an experience.
Stand on your own two feet
When developing the C-5000, every technical aspect that influences the sound was considered. The obsession with achieving the best possible sound has led to the development of the new, patented stands.
The heavy brass feet decouple the C-5000 either as pure spikes or with scratch protection for sensitive surfaces.
