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.
Key Features:
  • 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
  • Finish: Elegant silver anodized aluminum
  • Warranty: 5 years of peace of mind

Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnect – The Pinnacle of Audio Transparency
Step into a world of uncompromised sound with the Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnect (starting at £771 for RCA, £824 for XLR). Handmade in the UK by the visionary engineers at Townshend Audio, this isn’t just a cable—it’s a breakthrough in high-fidelity audio engineering, designed to deliver music with a purity and clarity that redefines what’s possible. Priced for the discerning listener who demands the ultimate in transparency, the F1 Fractal Interconnect is the crown jewel of Townshend’s 40-year legacy, promising a connection so true you’ll hear your system as if for the first time.
The Fractal-Wire™ Difference
At the core of the F1 Fractal Interconnect lies Townshend’s proprietary Fractal-Wire™ treatment, a revolutionary process that elevates this cable far beyond its predecessors. Building on the success of their acclaimed Isolda EDCT (Enhanced Deep Cryogenic Treatment), Townshend spent years perfecting this secret technique, blending it with Enhanced DCT to create a conductor that’s astonishingly silent and pure. Unlike standard copper or silver wires, Fractal-Wire™ strips away coloration and distortion, offering a level of transparency that’s unmatched in the industry. The details of this process remain a closely guarded secret, but the proof is in the listening—until you’ve experienced Fractal-Wire™, you haven’t heard a truly neutral cable.
Handcrafted Precision for Sonic Perfection
Every F1 Fractal Interconnect is meticulously assembled by hand, because only human precision can achieve the minimal contact with insulation that this design demands. The signal flows through an ultra-thin, polyester-coated enameled copper wire, spiraled tightly around a thicker bare copper ground. This close-knit geometry eliminates external electric fields, banishing hum in valve amplifiers and blocking radio frequency interference (RFI) with ruthless efficiency. Encased in a lightweight, flexible translucent tube with an air dielectric, the conductors are suspended in near-perfect isolation, ensuring your music remains untouched by the cable itself. Terminated with industry-leading Neutrik Profi RCA plugs (featuring spring-loaded ground collars) or Neutrik XLR plugs for balanced setups, the F1 delivers a connection that’s as reliable as it is revelatory.
A Sonic Revelation
Plug in the F1 Fractal Interconnect, and prepare for a transformation. Audiophiles rave about its ability to widen the soundstage, deepen the bass, and unveil details lost to lesser cables. The sound is fast, clear, and liquid—offering a “dark” quality that lets you peer into the recording, walking among the musicians with uncanny precision. Bass extends with robust authority, treble sparkles without harshness, and the midrange blooms with lifelike texture. Whether connecting your DAC to your amp or linking your preamp to your power stage, this interconnect reveals the soul of your system, exposing every nuance without adding or subtracting a thing. Pair it with Townshend’s Allegri+ preamp or Fractal F1 speaker cables for a synergy that’s pure magic.
Built for the Elite, Priced for the Passionate
The F1 Fractal Interconnect isn’t for everyone—it’s for those who chase the pinnacle of audio fidelity. Available in lengths from 1m to 5m (custom options on request), it caters to setups of any scale. The RCA version starts at £771, while the balanced XLR, with its dual Fractal-treated strands and drain wire, begins at £824—remarkable value for a cable that outperforms competitors costing twice as much. Reviewers call it “a superstar” and “the final frontier in connectivity,” and customers echo the sentiment: “I didn’t think it could get this good” (Janine, UK). With a 5-year warranty backing its UK craftsmanship, this is an investment in sound you can trust.
