Pioneer A-D5a-PM

Commentary

Pre-main amplifier of the Pure Malt series.

Whiskey casks are used for side woods, volume knobs and insulators.
This barrel has been used at a Suntory distillery for about 50 years. It is a matured tree that has been improved through the exchange of benefits and alcohol. In addition, the barrel is made of top-quality oak that is carefully selected over 100 years old.
This barrel material is machined and made into a beautiful form by hand one by one by excellent craftsmen of Oak Village.
You can see whiskey stains and nail marks on the side wood, so you can enjoy the unique design with barrel materials.

Green paint is applied to the top plate as a non-PVC sheet finish.

Direct Energy MOS-FET is used in the output stage to realize excellent power linearity even at high output with less power loss.

Wide range linear circuit enables stable speaker drive from low to high range.

It comes with a wireless remote control that comes with a removable barrel scraping tray.
