UHA has an all new preamp design for 2014
The twelfth generation (model G-3.12) UHA preamp design.
1.) All new custom designed boards done in house by UHA! The new G-3.12 preamp.
SHQM (super high quality materials) boards are used with both wider and thicker traces for much better signal flow.
All electronic parts such as resistors, power caps, RCA & XLR connectors, internal wiring, were chosen from various auditions done with parts from many manufacturers.
THE PHASE 11S PROJECT
"This one goes past 11"
The Phase11 project started with a some new component discoveries.
1.) A new way to handle DC current, we do not amplify DC from one gain stage to another.
2.) New cast silver and copper wire discoveries.
3.) New audiophile power transformers with new capacitive power delivery to each gain stage.
4.) New EQ configuration.
5.) A change in various electronic component values that brought more weight to the sound.
6.) These improvments were employed in both the record and the playback preamps.
The bottom like was a new preamp design for the G-3.12 preamp, some features of this new purity in circuitry involved
eliminating additional coupling (DC blocking) caps.
This resulted in a measurable difference with cleaner bass response and equally as important, better phase response in the low end.
This exotic mixture of preamp design with esoteric hand made parts found the last measure of electronic control across the entire audio spectrum.
But the goal was to still keep the dynamic sound that the UHA decks are known for.
With this New G- 3.12 preamp Greg wanted to have a balanced top end to the very bottom frequencies in complete balance, then let the purity
of the preamp shine through with it's own sonic signature. Many trial listening sessions with the 6 listening experts using Master Tape copies
determined that the new Phase11S was the pinnacle of playback decks so far.
