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
Hear the Difference Today
The Townshend Allegri+ isn’t just a preamp—it’s a revelation. Whether you’re spinning vinyl, streaming hi-res audio, or enjoying a CD, this passive marvel brings you closer to the artist’s vision. At £2,400, it’s an investment in sonic purity that outperforms active preamps at triple the price.

Townshend Fractal F1 Speaker Cable – Handcrafted Sonic Perfection from the UK

Introducing the Townshend Fractal F1 Speaker Cable, a pinnacle of audio engineering that redefines what’s possible in high-fidelity sound reproduction. Priced from £1,100 (depending on length and termination), this isn’t just a cable—it’s a handcrafted masterpiece, meticulously designed and built in the UK to deliver unparalleled transparency, precision, and musicality. For over 40 years, Townshend Audio has pushed the boundaries of audio innovation, and the Fractal F1 is the culmination of that legacy: their first new speaker cable in 14 years, blending cutting-edge technology with artisanal craftsmanship.
Unrivaled Design: Impedance-Matched Damped Conduit
At the heart of the Fractal F1 lies its impedance-matched damped conduit, a revolutionary approach to cable design that ensures your music flows without distortion or loss. Unlike conventional speaker cables, the Fractal F1 is engineered to match the impedance of your amplifier and speakers, minimizing reflections and preserving the integrity of the audio signal. This is achieved through a unique geometry: two Fractal-treated pure copper strip conductors are placed in close proximity, separated by an ultra-thin PTFE insulation layer with no adhesive. These conductors are then encased in a flexible polyurethane polymer that provides comprehensive vibration damping, silencing micro-vibrations that can muddy your sound. The entire assembly is housed within a super-strong, flexible conduit, wrapped in a durable woven polyester braid for ultimate protection and longevity.
This impedance-matched design isn’t just theory—it’s audible. You’ll experience tighter bass, a wider soundstage, and crystalline highs, free from the hash and smearing that plague lesser cables. Whether you’re driving an 8-ohm speaker or a complex load, the Fractal F1 ensures every watt of power is delivered with precision.
The Fractal Metal Process: A Sonic Breakthrough
What sets the Fractal F1 apart is Townshend’s proprietary Fractal metal process, a closely guarded secret that elevates this cable into a league of its own. Building on decades of research—including their pioneering work with Enhanced Deep Cryogenic Treatment (EDCT)—the Fractal process transforms the copper conductors at a molecular level. This treatment refines the crystalline structure of the metal, reducing electrical resistance and enhancing conductivity to reveal the finest details in your music. The result? A cable that’s astonishingly transparent, with a “blacker” background, lifelike dynamics, and a 3D soundstage that puts you in the room with the performance.
Unlike mass-produced cables, the Fractal F1’s conductors undergo this bespoke process in small batches, ensuring consistency and quality. It’s a labor-intensive technique that costs £1,000 per kilo and is carried out with precision in collaboration with specialists in the United States—proof of Townshend’s no-compromise approach to sonic excellence.
Handmade in the UK: Craftsmanship You Can Hear
Every pair of Townshend Fractal F1 Speaker Cables is handmade in the UK by skilled artisans at Townshend Audio’s workshop. This isn’t a cable churned out by machines—it’s a work of art, assembled with care over two full working days per set. The process begins with the precise placement of the Fractal-treated copper strips, followed by the painstaking application of the polyurethane damping material, which is poured as a liquid to suspend the conductors perfectly within the conduit. This hands-on method ensures minimal contact with the insulation and eliminates internal noise, while the external conduit shields the cable from environmental vibrations and interference.
Each end of the cable is terminated with a machined solid aluminum capsule containing housekeeping electronics—an RLC network that stabilizes operation with any amplifier, reduces distortion, and filters out radio frequency interference (RFI). Choose your preferred terminations—lockable banana plugs, spades, or custom connectors—to suit your setup. Available in lengths up to 10 meters, the Fractal F1 is non-directional and requires no burn-in, so you can enjoy its full potential from the moment it’s connected.
Performance That Speaks for Itself
The Fractal F1 doesn’t just connect your amplifier to your speakers—it transforms your system. Reviewers and audiophiles alike praise its ability to deliver tight, precisely formed bass, airy mids with zero coloration, and sparkling treble packed with detail. The lack of signal reflections—thanks to the impedance-matched design—creates a lifelike 3D soundstage that’s rare even among cables costing far more. Whether you’re listening to the subtle decay of a piano note or the thunderous attack of a double bass, the Fractal F1 brings every element into focus with vibrant musical cohesion and spot-on timing.
Pair it with Townshend’s F1 Fractal Interconnects for a fully synergistic setup, and you’ll hear why this cable has been called “game-changing” by those who’ve experienced it. It’s not just an upgrade—it’s a revelation.
