OVERVIEW

The Eternum is no less than the pinnacle of linestage design; but it's not just

a redesigned preamplifier.

The result of extensive research and development, the Eternum features a groundbreaking two chasis design. With two dedicated preamplifiers per channel,

it forges a new standart for the true balanced amplifier.

This was one of the show’s best sounds, with a beguiling musicality. The speakers disappeared in every sense of the word; instrumental and vocal textures were lifelike, and the soundstage was fully expressed. I returned to this room several times, taken by the effortless musicality and depth of expression. Notably, while some exhibitors seek to impress showgoers with demo material that is more like sound effects, Absolare always chooses music that impresses with the power of the musical expression, not the sound.

Every aspect of the Eternum is carefully curated in the pursuit of sonic perfection,  

Sparing no cost for the highest quality exotic components, with improved duelund copper silver cast capacitor design and echole infinity-grade alloy. It's performance is second to none in silence, harmonic resolution, and real world dynamic contrast. The Eternum is an unparalleled preamplifier a must have for realizing the true potentiall of any high-end audio system.

 

Through the early feedback of the opinion leaders, the performance is perceived to be second to none in silence, harmonic resolution, speed, low level articulation, real world dynamic contrast converging into a real world realism where the audiophile terms cease to exist, the calm yet real world dynamic presentation enables the truthfully scaled soundstafe, layering, pinpoint three dimensionality, and touchhable palpability starting for the deepest lows where the system components do completely disappear. 

In short, a life-like performance that is yet to be witnessed. The initial feedback from the acclaimed opinion leaders is that the true potential of any higher end system will be

relevated with the eternum preamp's performance...

THIS IS ETERNUM

"Late 2022, November to be exact we at Connaisseur Audio got the possibility to experience the new Absolare Eternum preamplifier. This preamplifier differs from his siblings by a complete symmetrical design, and a separate power supply.

 

At first I thought it would be the same as the single ended designs except for the

different topology. Oh boy couldn’t I be more wrong after a brief listening session.

This is a different animal, and I will try to describe the differences in the perceived listening experience.

 

This preamplifier gives much more energy to the system, combining this with a better focus and a much wider and deeper soundstage. It has a kind of disappearing act, I never thought was possible with only exchanging a fantastic preamplifier with an even better one. You can’t really speak about certain parameters that stand out, it is the whole listening experience that is elevated to new levels."

To say that I am impressed is an understatement!
