Kaitaki Preamplifier
While the Kaitaki preamplifier mates aesthetically and musically with the Plinius P10 power amplifier this exciting preamplifier is the perfect partner for the Plinius SA103 power amplifier used either as a stereo amplifier or in a monoblock configuration.
Visible controls on the Kaitaki are the rotary volume knob and source selection buttons with all other functions driven from the distinctive Plinius remote control. LED indicators on the front panel display demonstrate the source selected and status of the mute, phase and HT bypass functions.
The Kaitaki will allow the connection of up to 5 source components including both balanced and single ended connection for CD. A processor loop allows integration with a home theatre system and output is available from RCA or XLR connectors. The optional adjustable phono stage model allows enjoyment of vinyl at a sophisticated level without the need to purchase a specialised phono preamplifier.
The electronics topography is derived in part from development work done on circuits for our later generation integrated amplifiers and source components, and a power supply with extremely low impedance allows the audio circuitry to deliver its best.

SECRETS OF HOME THEATRE AND HIGH FIDELITY
“The Plinius Kaitaki enabled me to hear the most lucid, transparent sound I’ve ever experienced in my system. It also made me realize that the rest of my system is capable of a quality of fidelity I didn’t know it was capable of. It is an attractive, solid, and well-built component that’s built to last a very long time. If I could easily afford it, I would buy it without reservation. The Plinius Kaitaki is a preamplifier I will miss quite a bit after I return it.”
