About the TLC-1 Signature (2014)

The McCormack TLC-1 Signature preamplifier is a solid-state, unity-gain stereo preamplifier featuring five line inputs and two tape loops. It is designed to provide an extremely transparent and uncolored sound, acting as a wide-open window to the music with minimal signal degradation. The unit offers passive and buffered outputs, allowing users to choose between a low output impedance buffered output or a passive output that varies with volume control. It does not include a phono stage, remote control, or balanced operation, focusing instead on purity of signal and sonic transparency. The preamplifier is highly regarded for its sonic neutrality and value, recommended for systems that do not require high gain or frequent use of cassette decks or FM tuners. It is particularly suitable for users seeking the best sound quality for the dollar in line-level preamplifiers.
