With its brand-new S4, KECES is launching an affordable high-tech preamplifier that features an optical input for DS Audio cartridges as a special highlight. Beyond that, it impresses with a coherent overall concept from A to Z that even gets a tube enthusiast like me completely excited.

This newly introduced preamplifier with a built-in DS Audio EQ and standard MC/MM phono stage will give many people the opportunity to play analog record players again at an affordable price.

The S4 preamplifier uses a single-ended, non-feedback circuit design.
The S4 is fully balanced in its construction and offers a wide selection of balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs and corresponding outputs.
It is equipped with a high-quality headphone amplifier and comes complete with an all-metal infrared remote control.
