The Townshend Audio Allegri Reference preamplifier is actually classed as an ‘Autotransformer Preamplifier’; an autotransformer is materially different from a standard transformer (which has entirely separate windings between input and output) in that it takes a single winding with 24 discrete output taps. This means that the Allegri Reference offers 129 half-decibel steps; a far wider range than anyone has managed with stepped volume pots. The Allegri works to a pure inverse-square transformer function, where you get four times the drive if you halve the voltage, this is a preamplifier that actually gets better at low listening levels, thanks to improved low impedance1.

The Allegri+ differs in functionality by adding a mute switch and a front panel input on a minijack and in appearance by better finishing and knurling on the knobs.

Townshend Allegri+ Passive Preamplifier – Pure Sound, Unmatched Clarity
Elevate your audio experience with the Townshend Allegri+ Passive Preamplifier, a masterpiece of engineering that redefines transparency in high-fidelity sound. Priced at £2,400, this compact yet powerful device is the ultimate choice for discerning audiophiles who demand nothing less than perfection from their hi-fi systems. Say goodbye to noise, distortion, and compromise—say hello to music as it was meant to be heard.
Why Choose the Allegri+?
Unlike traditional preamps, the Allegri+ is a purely passive autotransformer design—no power supply, no active components, just unadulterated sound. Its state-of-the-art autotransformers, wound with Townshend’s proprietary Fractal-Wire™ and laminated with ultra-thin mu-metal, deliver astonishing resolution and transparency. From crystal-clear treble to deep, powerful bass, every note is rendered with breathtaking accuracy.
  • Six Input Options: Seamlessly switch between your sources with six gold-plated RCA inputs and a convenient 3.5mm front-panel jack.
  • Precision Volume Control: A 24-position volume control offers tailored intervals to suit any system, ensuring perfect loudness without sacrificing dynamics.
  • Impedance Mastery: Unlike conventional passive controllers, the Allegri+ matches the impedance of your source and amplifier, preserving every ounce of musical energy.
  • Silent Operation: With no capacitors in the signal path and a mute switch for instant quiet, it’s as pure as it gets.
The Sound of Nothing—Except Music
The Allegri+ doesn’t just amplify—it reveals. Experience a soundstage so open and detailed, you’ll hear nuances you never knew existed. It’s DC-coupled for zero signal degradation, and its sleek anodized aluminum chassis houses technology that outperforms preamps costing thousands more. Reviewers rave about its “uncoloured, open sound” and “astonishing transparency”—this is the preamp that lets your gear shine.
Perfect for Any System
Modern source components output around 2 volts with low impedance, and most power amps hit full stride at 1 volt. The Allegri+ bridges that gap effortlessly, eliminating the need for gain while maintaining full dynamics. Pair it with Townshend’s F1 Fractal™ Interconnects for the ultimate sonic synergy—because even one meter of lesser cable can dim its brilliance.

  • Inputs: 6x RCA stereo pairs, 1x 3.5mm jack
  • Outputs: 2x RCA stereo pairs
  • Frequency Response: 8Hz–100kHz (±0.1dB)
  • Distortion: Less than 0.01% at 400Hz, 10V
