The LaChapell Audio Model 583s is the world's first vacuum tube preamplifier designed for the 500 series format.
The 583e features the same amplifier stage found on the 583S including the Jensen JT-115k input transformer coupled with an ultra-clean transformer-less three-band EQ section with fully sweeping frequency controls and cut/boost settings of +/- 8dB. The EQ can run as an integrated EQ serving the preamplifier or separate as its own autonomous module where both units run independently.
