KLIMO MERLINO GOLD PLUS IMPROVED + THOR

Second-hand. In excellent conditions. No visible signs of wear. Includes original packaging, remote control, and manual.

The Klimo Merlino Gold line tube preamplifier is based on an electrical design meticulously conceived from the very beginning, to the point that it has never required modification. This unit stands out for its design philosophy, which rejects the constant product reworking driven by marketing trends, instead offering a device that evolves over time through higher-grade versions that preserve its core identity while improving component quality. It is in the careful selection of materials and circuitry that each new generation of the Merlino refines the previous one: the internal wiring is of the highest standard, and state-of-the-art circuit boards are employed.

In the Merlino Gold model, unlike the base version, the boards hosting the circuits and connectors are gold-plated, delivering a further boost in performance. The internal architecture is dual-mono, using superior signal conductors and maintaining the signal path as short as possible, ensuring maximum sonic purity.

The Merlino Gold Plus represents the top tier in the family, featuring an enhanced power supply housed in a separate chassis.
